Specced out to the max and powerful enough to engineer a moon landing without breaking a sweat, the M18x is a beefy 18.4-inch gaming laptop that crushes the scales at 5.5kg but will run pretty much any game you throw at it.

Price: £1,499 | Dell

The Alienware M18x is a huge gaming laptop with an 18.4-inch screen and searing performance.

Needless to say, this isn’t the most portable of notebooks – you’re unlikely to ever pull it out on the bus – but rather a desktop replacement that you can transport from place to place far more easily than an actual desktop.

With a huge keyboard, superb connectivity, a full HD resolution and top notch graphics card, RAM and processor, it’ll run even the most demanding of PC games in excellent fashion. If you have money to burn, you’d do well to burn it on this.
