Alienware 13 R3 Review: OLED, GeForce 10 Pop And Performance

Dell's Alienware gaming PC division recently announced a refresh of their 13, 15 and 17 notebook product lines, starting with the introduction of their 15 and 17 inch models and more recently unchaining their smaller but just as scrappy 13-inch beast.

However, one of Alienware's new three amigos is a bit more stand-out than the others, perhaps. With the Alienware 13 R3 (marking the 3rd revision), Dell-Alienware has taken what was previously a dual-core only affair and made it quad-core capable. That extra CPU juice under the hood, coupled with a dramatically more powerful GeForce GTX 1060 GPU, should equate to a bodacious increase in gaming performance-per-square inch.

AOC AGON AG271QX Review

Premium FreeSync monitor worth £400. The great thing about PC gaming hardware is that there's so much choice. You aren't restricted to certain peripherals, and there literally is a keyboard or mouse to suit every individual. The only thing you need to be wary of is cost, as while the entry point tends to be low, prices can spiral out of control for high-end equipment that casual users aren't likely to need.

When it comes to gaming mice, the likes of the Asus RoG Spatha and Fnatic Gear Clutch look tempting if you're willing to splash large amounts of cash, but if cost is a key consideration, Corsair reckons it has a noteworthy alternative in the form of the Harpoon RGB.

Corsair Harpoon RGB Review

A sub-£30 optical mouse for gamers on a budget. The great thing about PC gaming hardware is that there's so much choice.

Fatal1ty FXM 200 Gaming Headset by Monster Review
