Bolder and better: Alienware launches new gaming laptops

Alienware has cooked up what they say are their most powerful gaming laptops to date and they showed these badass machines off at E3 2013 in Los Angeles. The Alienware 14, Alienware 17, and Alienware 18 all feature new bolder, more durable designs with anodized aluminum shell and magnesium alloy bodies as well as keyboards protected by reinforced plates.

The Alienware 14 is the portable version ready to take on both gaming and productivity needs. The Alienware 17, on the other hand, can be considered a good desktop gaming rig replacement as it can handle the more graphics-intensive games and even comes with an optional 3D panel. The Alienware 18 then has to be the ultimate gaming behemoth with its unmatched performance and construction that also has a Full HD display with PLS wide viewing-angle technology. Seems like they got an answer to whatever gaming needs you may have.
