Whether that's worth the added expense is up to you, but we can see it going either way.Īlienware has been using its new "Legend" design for a few years now, and it's clear why it's stuck around.

But you won't be able to find one that combines performance and design in quite the same way. You will likely be able to find the same components in a cheaper gaming laptop somewhere.

You're going to have a much better gaming experience sticking with the 1080p display option – whether you go for the 144Hz panel or the 360Hz panel that the laptop we're reviewing comes with.Įither way, this is a premium gaming laptop with a luxury price. And, while the RTX 3080 here is strong, but it's still nowhere near as strong as the desktop version of the card.

We wouldn't recommend going with a 4K OLED display anyway unless you're planning on using this laptop to do some serious photo or video work. And, if you want a 4K OLED panel with the same specs, you're looking at $3,579 (about £2,620, AU$4,640) – though that configuration only comes with 1TB of SSD space. However, currently, this model isn't available, likely due to the ongoing components shortage. If you want the model we're reviewing here, with an RTX 3080, a 2TB SSD and a Core i9 processor, you're looking at an eye-watering $3,359 (about £2,460, AU$4,360). That will get you an Intel Core i7-10870H, 16GB of RAM, 256GB of SSD storage and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070.
