I still got my Alienware M17 R4 bought in 2012, I don't play games anymore so I used it as my main audio station as it has Soundblaster in it to power my Edifier R2000db speakers. I upgraded the ram to 16 GB from the original 8GB, changed my SSD from 128 to 250 GB, and upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7. Still beautiful after almost 10 years as it is slightly used as seldom used for gaming as I have my deskstop built for gaming. I just bought it for bragging rights with my nameplate on it. I bought it for A$3,500 in 2012.

Looking back, I just remembered how incredible the old design was in terms of aesthetics and how it raised the standard of what a gaming laptop should be

I love the aesthetic of alienware laptops of that "vintage" because I personally love that highly gamer design, the rgb and everything in between, and I don't really care about the weight of a laptop, as long as its got the performance to back it up.

Mine's still running as intended, 8 years after it was made. I've seen dead gaming laptops half it's age, and I can replace any major part for 200 bucks or less, myself. Honestly, it's a pretty amazing machine, and these days you can upgrade them to a 1070 (with modded drivers) and extreme edition i7 (don't remember the model) that gets up to 4 Ghz. You can also use the cooling from the 17 r1, meaning you can pretty much double your heatpipes, and go all copper. Even in 2020, it can be pretty capable for what it's worth. Plus super cheap upgrades, and a metric ton of I/O inside AND out

Dude I got damn near the same laptop since 2012. My brother passed it down to me and boy has it been through some hell. Multiple OS changes from Vista, Linux, and Win 8. Though just recently Ol' Betsy is starting to go out on me. The battery life is practically non-existent. Gets hot as all hell. Starts becoming unresponsive after repeated startups with no hard shutdown. Then the worst part, the AC Adaptor is really starting to make some popping noises. Like it would set my house on fire if I went to sleep with it plugged in. That and some keys stopped working as well. Keys "6789 and O" don't work. The old girl still got some life to her, and after watching this video may just me some ways to get her back on her feet. The clogged CPU vents for one are definitely an issue. The fact you can replace the graphics card is a neat feature. Could probably replace it with one of my brother's old graphics cards. Pretty much just gotta replace the battery, Power Adaptor, and clean up the CPU and she should be good to go again. I remember playing Mass Effect 3 on her, but now she can mainly run Flash games. I know it would be better just to replace her with a newer, slimmer laptop, but shes what I use during downtime in my room. The PC rig my brother built me, a Thermaltake core x9 I call Big Bess, has to stay in the living room. Can't really drag the big girl to my room when I'm done for the night. Anyway, sorry for typing a lot, just had to share my story since most these issues popped up last night. I don't know how I came across this video but I'm glad I did cause it could get Ol' Betsy back in shape.

Eurcom recently announced that they will be building smaller 10 series GPUS that will fit most of the casings in gaming laptops. As for the 17 R3, they were able to fit the gtx 1070. In all honesty, I would recommend buying a old 18 alienware rather than the 17, because of the spacing on the motherboard. This will allow for future gpu components to possibly fit within the laptop. As for the correct bios regarding the laptop, I recommend checking out notebookforums to find working bios for the upgraded gpu.

Great Video on M17X. Do you happen to have the disassembly manual? As I want to do some upgrades. Thanks

Can you do a followup video of you replacing the mobile GPU with something newer, and redoing benchmarks? I'm really curious how it would perform.

+Psivewri I personally bought an Alienware M17x R4 off ebay a couple months back, It is the same thing but with an nVidia GeForce GTX 660m. It was $450 and came with an Alienware mouse, Backpack and mouse pad. I ended up selling all the extras for a nice cool $50. So $400 for this isn't bad. Some things to keep in mind is you must give the laptop some decent airflow or your GPU will overheat fast and get to about 96c, It will back off and for the next few minutes you will be running off 4 - 10fps while the GPU cools off. The 660m GPU does fine for me at the moment but like video says you can upgrade it, I personally will be upgrading to a 780m which will be about 200% faster. And you will most likely need a new battery cause after 5 years don't expect the OEM battery to hold its original charge. If you don't want to do that just keep it plugged in. My pros and cons about the laptop. Pros : • Good feeling keyboard with nice colors, Doesn't just feel like a cheap laptop keyboard. • Media buttons on the top right are awesome and I tend to use them a lot. • Has a full sized keyboard • Looks sleek, When the laptop screen is up it doesn't look fat. The style of the laptop fits the size perfectly. • RGB So you can have all the rainbow goodness you can desire. • You can upgrade the GPU and other things. • 2 ports for 2.5" SSD or HardDrives and I believe an m.2 • Neat power button, It flickers as the Hard Drive spins. • Very nice loud speakers. • Selection of ports and even a method to lock your laptop if you wanted to feel more safe at a coffee shop or something.. Cons : • If you have big hands like me then your palm will tend to hit the corner of the trackpad so you might hit/shoot something you don't want to while gaming. This can be countered via Alien Touch in the AlienFX area where you can adjust the sensitivity and something for "accidental palm hits" • Trackpad isn't the greatest • Heavy • My power cord slips out easily (Might just be mine) • The fans are noisy Overall I highly recommend doing this. It worked out so well for me cause I am at the moment traveling in an RV traveling. Also thanks Psivewri cause I will new be opening it up and getting all the dust out & reapplying paste. :) Thumbs up from me and I hope this helped anyone.

On Fortnite 1080 w/ medium Anti Aliasing & everything else low I was getting 50 -60fps, Now with the update I would think it would get 70 - 80 on those settings. Keeping in mind I have a 1600 x 900 screen and not 1920x1080p but I don't think that would change much. If you can find one with a better AMD card it wont cost much more & will run much faster. If you're curious about the new one I paid $970 & it has an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060-6GB, i7-6700HQ, 120Hz screen and 8GB DDR4. Mint condition and was a steal :o

Just a couple of important tios with this laptop (cuz i used to have that exact model) : - While you can indeed replace the video card keep in mind that there are only 3 models that are officially supported by the OEM BIOS, any newer models are unlikely to work unless you get a modded BIOS for it. - Under no circumstances should you ever get the GTX 675m, i had THREE of those fry in the M17x R4, and it wasn't even overheating as i was getting max 68c temps with it.

AlienWare was a great company for making a gaming laptop cause of their superior hardware and they have a magical on their requirement before Dell Bought them. But then, the magic and power on their technician are gone after Dell Bought them.

@psivewri , thanks for the review because im getting one for free soon and wanted to know if it was any good

Just came across this video.. I just picked up (in Feb. of 2023) an Alienware M17X R3 with an intel i7 2860qm and Nvidia GeForce gtx 560m with 16gb of ram for $80.. just upgraded to 32gb 1600mhz ddr3, and dual 1tb ssds, and also have a gtx 580m with heat sink on the way (for another $80). I love it’s look and it still runs quite decent. Only two issues with it so far for me.. had to use a different touchpad driver to get “normal” two finger scrolling in windows 10 since the R3 was windows 7 based, vs the R4 like in this video being W8 based, and the rubberized coating is kinda messed up on parts of the palm rest. Had I seen this vid first, I definitely would have made the same decision. These, while older are pretty cool still.

Thanks for giving me advice if I ever DO buy a used gaming laptop

You did change my mind (a bit) about used laptops, however since I already own a desktop, I value weight and battery life a lot more, meaning I would spend more for a laptop with similar performance but in a much more portable setup. I really find it quite sad there is no laptop with a Nvidia MX150 (GT 1030) and a large 90Wh battery. Largest one ive found is the HP Spectre X360 Intel 8th gen with 79Wh but that one is around 1600 USD

Psivewri I think the M11X would be best. Actual quad core (i believe) with a discrete card at 11in.

Hi, I have a M15X that I bought new about nine years back. Not for gaming but for graphics design. And it still does an awesome job in handling the demanding software I use. It came with Windows 7 pro installed but I upgraded it to Windows 10 pro which definitely improved it's performance. About every two year, I clean out those vents but never thought on cleaning up the CPU heat sink. Can you please let me know what you use to clean it with, and what kind of thermal paste to use?

i have an A/Ware M9750 and it still runs. i am upgrading the RAM to 4GB (not a lot by todays standards) i may up the CPU and GPU as well. a lot of laptops cant be upgraded, so the alienware you got is worth it. thanks! that vent was clogged! mine is not nearly that bad!

Looking at pre 2018 Alienware laptops, one can really appreciate the build in and out. To this day the other flagship companies still are missing half of what AW offered years ago. Yeah they are heavy as shit, which is why they have that solid feel that very few laptops offer. Works for me as im not mobile with mine, if you are...defo AWs are not for you nor your back. RGB lighting can be a bit too much for some but you can turn it off. Keyboards feel great throughout the models and have perfectly uniformly diffused LED lighting.

Cant buy it, spent all my money on a pc that has a fan that screams at me extremely loudly and vibrates my desk from gaming on games that are not that demanding for a game.

Draft Horse is my M18x R2. Same generation. One thing to look out for is dimming of the lights with age, worn connectors, and failing fans. Both models are very desktop like to the point it should be practical to upgrade the chipset.

i have one exactly like this, its a really easy laptop to repair on, when i got mine it was completely dead. after i had swapped the RAM, Harddisk drive (new ssd), Charger, top lid on the screen, speakers, battery and cleaned up the entire thing and installed new Thermal paste its a great computer, i used it for college and it did a great job.

Though I didn't purchase a second hand Alienware, I did purchase a 1 year old ASUS Republic Of Gamers laptop (ASUS ROG G752VT). Paid $780 US for it. 24GB of RAM, 256GB SSD with 1TB HDD, 6GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 970M GPU , and Skylake Core i7-6700HQ. I think that was a bargain!

I still have that laptop but now I upgraded to the M17 (2020)

Also managed to find one with i7 3720mq And 2x 7970 ... Had a same problem with thermal paste, so I used grizzly conductonaut on CPU and both GPUs... Temps down 20+°c and in firestrike I got graphics score 10226, physics 10021 and combined 2890 no OC ... And then I gave it to my brother 😁totally worth the 💰 for less then 400usd

Great video, but I think any laptop over 3 yrs old + just isn't worth investing into unless you absolutely love the machine but realistically they just aren't made to last anymore. Spending $600 and knowing it could fail or cost more in the long run without any warranty just seems a waste.

Tom Tapp but the cost of those upgrades are costs that aren't worth what you get a old cpu and 980m, which if you were smart might aswell put a couple of hundreds more and get a new machine with newer gen cpu and gtx 1060 upwards in terms of value for your dollar its way better and your covered if it fails for 1-2 years and your getting 2x upwards performance, better then wasting a couple hundred and not having any guarantee on life span. Pure economics mate at the end of the day, its using your money wisely. If you feel upgrading old tech is the way good for you and best of luck.

Jason Morel that’s the very reason it’s worth it. You go buy your “new” msi or rog that has the cpu and gpu soldered to the motherboard and you have to run W 10. Get that new msi and when you burn up that GPU ....go buy another one. That’s how those companies are playing you “mate”....you can’t change/REPLACE cpu or gpu. Gotta buy new motherboard or new PC. Alienware and Sager lets you upgrade cpu like a 940xm that you can overclock because it’s not locked, to 3.8 mhz. Upgrade GPU to 980m that will rock those newer gpus that are soldered to MB. Got it now? Coming from someone who likes potatoes

I lowkey want this one. It would be a good laptop to start out with Alienware. I have a dell Inspiron laptop now and I love it but I love the Alienware brand too.

Just bought a new laptop last year. Kinda regret it. Next time (perhaps in 3-4 years), I'm going to buy second hand laptop. While I'm quite familiar with computer stuff, I'm not that tech-savvy either. Opening a laptop, cleaning all the vent, and re-pasting the CPU is something I don't really want to do. So perhaps I'm going to buy it at a store that specialized in 2nd hand laptop. It may be a bit expensive, but those stores already take cares all things like cleaning, repasting, checking for any damaged parts, and re-installing fresh windows.

I have a full tower desktop, quite powerful too... but the power consumption is big (obviously) and the electric bill rises... It's alright when I playing AAA PC games or doing heavy duty stuff... But most of the time I'm just browsing the internet, watching movies, and all other light stuff. So I want to buy another computer with very light power consumption but still capable doing some medium stuff (like photoshop or sketchup)... and while at that, this time I want something that somewhat portable. So another desktop albeit the green one is kinda redundant. I'm also considering mini PC or something like that.
