Dell Alienware laptops provide the best horsepower in a fairly portable-ish body. But they do not compromise on power and cooling, as far as we know. With that piece of information out of the way, if you can justify the high price tags of these laptops, you are in for some satisfying gaming sessions. The new releases include both the 17 inch R5 and 15-inch R4 versions, both available through online seller SastoDeal.
Dell Alienware 17 R5
The Dell Alienware 17 R5 is the biggest Alienware, if not the biggest laptop out there. Featuring a 17-inch QHD (2560x1440) TN display with a refresh rate of 120Hz. The same is capable of up to 400nits of brightness and Nvidia G-Sync support with Tobii Eye-Tracking. The display is also pretty color accurate covering 110% of the sRGB color spectrum.
Pushing the highly demanding display are a pair of Core i9-8950HK processor and a GTX 1080 GPU. This mobile version of the CPU is also capable of overclocking, up to 5GHz to be exact. The GTX 1080 also comes with a standard 8GB GDDR5X memory, making this laptop a very very capable one at gaming.
All this paired with a 16GB DDR4 RAM at 2666MHz, which should provide easy expansion as it's a 1x16GB setup. It also comes with a pretty ample 512GB of PCIe M.2 Class 50 SSD and a 1TB 7200RPM hard drive. The port selection on this laptop is also one of the best on any complemented very well by the barely legal 99Whr non-removable battery.

The mid-sized Alienware is more than adequate for gaming, considering it's 15" FHD IPS display which caps out at 60Hz with G-Sync support. The laptop could have done with a higher refresh display as the GTX 1080 Max Q is more than capable of gaming at over 60fps in FHD settings.
The i9-8950HK is just an overkill at this point, and more seriously the thermal capabilities. The 16GB easily upgradeable RAM, 1TB of HDD, 256GB SSD, and the same connectivity selections from the 17 R5 makes this one a really good option. Also, it's a lot more portable than the 17 inches mammoth, if that helps in anyway.
