So, what makes the Alienware m17 R1 gaming laptop so great? It has a 9th-generation Intel Core i7 processor with 16GB of memory and a 256GB SSD for storage. On top of that is a high-end Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card which means it’ll never miss a beat while you’re playing all the latest games. Whatever you play will look fantastic because of the graphics card but it will also look great because of the 17.3-inch full HD screen that the system has been paired with. That’s plenty big enough to see every detail while you’re gaming.

Despite the hefty screen size, the Alienware m17 R1 gaming laptop is still a thin and portable device. It’s only 23 mm thick and weighs just under 5.8 pounds so you won’t feel restricted in terms of portability. That’s thanks to the high-end materials that the Alienware m17 R1 gaming laptop has been made with. These include magnesium alloy, one of the lightest structural metals in the world, enabling the laptop to be rigid yet also comfortable and lightweight. That same material also helps keep the laptop components cool and operating correctly, no matter how full-on your gaming gets.

I let Radial menu take over my Mac, and I’m never going back
One mouse jiggle, endless shortcuts. My Mac has never felt this fast.
Radial app running on Mac

I have been testing Radial for the past week, and it's quickly become one of those apps I didn’t know how I could live without. It's a radial menu for macOS that puts your shortcuts, scripts, and automations right where your cursor is, so you never have to go hunting through menus to find what you need.

Android desktop mode made me miss my laptop in record time
I tried writing and publishing from Google’s phone-to-monitor setup, and the future of mobile computing immediately started sweating.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop
