Design
Alienware has completely redesigned its product line, giving them a sleeker look while still retaining the over-the-top customization the company is known for. The new aesthetic, which Alienware calls its Epic design, gives the Alienware 14 the look of an alien spaceship, with the entire chassis coming to a point at its front edge.
The Alienware 14 measures a bulky 13.2 x 10.2 x 1.57-1.62 inches and weighs a hefty 6.6 pounds, making it one of the heaviest 14-inch notebooks on the market. Still, for a serious gaming system, that's fairly light.
Sporting a 14-inch, 1920 x 1080, anti-glare LED display, the Alienware 14 produced clear, crisp visuals. Colors were vibrant, and blacks were endlessly deep. A 1080p trailer for "Man of Steel"looked gorgeous, with Superman's trademark crimson cape standing in stark contrast to the austere walls of the Fortress of Solitude.
