When we measured the brightness, the notebook delivered a measly 161 lux,compared to the 323 lux on the Blade 14. However, the Alienware 14’s panel isn’t as bright as we would like. We also saw crisper particle effects on the Alienware 14 including fireworks and gunfire. The Alienware 14’s dominance continued in a side-by-side comparison of “BioShock Infinite.” While both notebooks showed off deep reds, greens and blues, the colors were more vibrant on the Alienware 14’s screen. Alienware’s new look really brings home that extraterrestrial vibe, while the additional lights make sure that you’ll be the center of attention during a LAN party. We’re huge fans of the lightweight portability and sleek looks of the Razer Blade 14, but the Alienware 14 and its gorgeous redesign take this round. The touchpad is also backlit, adding to an already prodigious light show. In addition to the LED strips, there’s also Alienware’s super-customizable backlit keyboard. As before, the tell-tale Alien head logo resides near the top of the chassis while a the palm rest and keyboard deck sport a soft-touch finish.

At 6.6 pounds, 13.2 x 10.2 x 157~1.62-inches, the Alienware 14 has considerably more junk in the trunk compared to the Blade 14.Ī cross between a spaceship and Tron, the Alienware 14 ditched the lid’s soft touch finish from the previous generation in favor of sleek anodized aluminum scored by thin LED strips. Instead of elegant subtlety, Alienware goes big and flashy.
