BUYING GUIDE<br />

Alienware 13<br />

Its extra weight comes from its incredibly sturdy<br />

and solid chassis, built to withstand hot climates and<br />

gamers who react physically to the highs and lows<br />

of gameplay. For some, that will be a drawback. But<br />

it’s hard to hold the Alienware 13’s design against<br />

it, especially after experiencing the pure luxury of<br />

its OLED screen: Gaming on it makes the best LCD<br />

panels seem pixellated and washed out.<br />

While performance is a hair under rival machines<br />

like the MSI GS63VR, the difference is almost negligible<br />

– just one or two frames less per second in our<br />

Tomb Raider and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor<br />

benchmarks. If you can splurge on this version of the<br />

Alienware 13, we say do it. From its slick design to<br />

its performance, battery life, and OLED display, it’s<br />

exceptional in every metric we usually examine.<br />
