Pros
Pro Good performance
Alienware 17 comes with 3 GPU options - GeForce GTX 880M, GeForce GTX 860M and Radeon R9 M290X with 3DMark's Fire Strike Standard Graphics 1920x1080 benchmarks showing scores of 6101, 3910, 5294 respectively and as of March, 2015 the top GPU has a score of 9598 so all of these options, except for GTX 860M, are still good choices.
There are also 2 CPU options - i5-4210M and i7-4710MQ with PassMark's scores of 4201 and 8028 respectively. As of March, 2015 the top PassMark score for a CPU is just above 10,000 so the i7-4710MQ is still a strong choice, while the i5-4210M should be avoided.
Know any positive aspects of this option?
