It also has low frame rate compensation (LFC). Premium requires a 120Hz minimum refresh rate at 1080p which is perfect since the 4K iteration of the laptop sports that exact refresh rate.

FreeSync Premium is an adaptive sync technology that synchronizes the display’s refresh rate with the GPU to keep your images super smooth. I could see every zipper, gear and stripe on this thing, not to mention the slight grooves in my cybernetically enhanced face.Īs I made my way though the world of Cyberpunk 2077, FreeSync Premium was front and center preventing all manner of screen tearing, latency and stuttering which is generally not a vibe when gaming.

And when it was time for a wardrobe change, I chose a metallic red jacket that I really wish I had in real life. The neon skyline of Night City glittered almost as brightly as the stars in its sky. Was CyberPunk 2077 made for the m17? No, but it sure seemed like it. I saw the delicate creases in the lead actors’ silk blouses with relative ease thanks to the sharpness of the display. The electric blue book cover of copies of “The Pugilist” drew the eye as did the velvet red curtains and the bright pink dress and magenta parrot-headed women with their dead white eyes in the background. Actors Letitia Wright and Tamara Lawrence’s warm brown complexions glowed with each of their faces framed by their gently feathered hairstyles. I was captivated by the trippy atmosphere in “The Silent Twins” trailer. The Alienware m17’s 17.3-inch, 4K display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 3ms response rate is simply stunning. Along the back sits a USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports, another USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, a full HDMI 2.1 and the DC-in.

On the left, there’s an expandable Gigabit Ethernet port with a headset jack. Starting on the right, you have a pair of USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports.

Enough to give the Alienware m17 a serious battlestation in its own right an even bigger arsenal.
