Gamers will look for any competitive edge when it comes to playing online. A few grammes off the weight of the mouse or a couple of milliseconds off the reaction time of the keyboard can be the difference between glorious victory and crushing defeat. For twitch aimers seeking that extra advantage, Alienware’s M17 R5 is the first laptop that can be specced up (for well over £2000) with a display that has a crazy-speedy 480Hz refresh rate. Elsewhere you can equip it with an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX processor, Radeon RX 6000 graphics, 64GB of RAM and 4TB of NVMe SSD storage – and if you can’t win with that kind of hardware, it’s probably time to take up gardening instead.
