Gaming

Basic games might need more than basic hardware. The AW17R4-7006SLV-PUS is a good choice for casual gamers, offering enough CPU power, RAM and storage to get the job done – hardcore gamers may need something a little meatier though.

It's good for academic research

Light, portable, and full-featured, the AW17R4-7006SLV-PUS is ideal for carrying between offices and libraries. You’ll have all the tools you need to research and write outstanding research papers and theses.

Music and Audio

Developing your own tunes and mixes is important to you, so we've recommended a laptop that has got an advanced audio system on-board with HD sound capabilities.

The presence of a 4 cores core process will help speed up music format conversions or codec-based compression.

Its all about the Beats

When you need crystal clear audio and plenty of grunt for processing and encoding, the AW17R4-7006SLV-PUS can handle everything you throw at it. A selection of ports allow you to connect instruments and devices, while the 2.9 GHz takes care of the actual production work.

Book keeping

The 17.3 inches screen gives you enough screen-space to wade through columns and rows

Excel, Quicken etc, don't need much power so this option won't up the requirements on processor. 

Your Alienware 's 32 GB RAM will ensure large sheets and accounts wont undermine performance

The numeric keypad keyboard really takes the strain out when entering data.

Can handle a Full-Stack Coding Environment

You'll need a machine that can handle multiple VMs for your various Dev environments, which is why we've picked something for you that's got an Intel Core i7-7820HK , (a processor with 4 cores) plus a healthy RAM size of 32 GB.

Also, its 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution provides adequate screen estate to view multiple window or more of your IDE while you work.

Regular Stuff / Everyday Tasks

Spreadsheets, presentations and documents, don't need much, but your Intel Core i7-7820HK processor and 32 GB RAM ensures even image laden files won't leave you watching the 'spinning wheel'!

Surf the web at speed thanks to the AW17R4-7006SLV-PUS’s speedy b/g/n/ac WiFi interface.

Sending and receiving email is a relatively lightweight activity that the AW17R4-7006SLV-PUS can comfortably handle. It also comes with 1000 GB of total storage so you never have to delete a message or attachment again.

Although less powerful than other laptops, the AW17R4-7006SLV-PUS is more than capable of keeping you connected to Facebook, Twitter and all the other social networks you love.

Battery life is fairly decent

With its 6 hours battery life, the AW17R4-7006SLV-PUS offers a good amount of freedom while moving from place to place around the house.

For anyone who works on the road, or outside the office, portability is everything. With a battery life of 6 hours, the AW17R4-7006SLV-PUS can go the distance for you while working on the move.

The AW17R4-7006SLV-PUS allows you to stay productive even when you need to pop out for a few hours thanks to its portability and 6 hours battery life.

The 6 hours battery life in the AW17R4-7006SLV-PUS can keep you going while moving from one meeting space to another.

Working in the dark

This laptop can be used night or day thanks to the built in back-lit keyboard.

Numeric Key Pad

Working with numbers is important to you, so we've made sure this laptop comes a full featured keyboard.
