Alienware m17 R3

The Alienware M17 R3 is a powerhouse gaming laptop that boasts impressive specs and sleek design. With its thin profile and robust performance, it's hard to deny the appeal of this machine. However, my experience with the 4K display was underwhelming, as it slowed down the machine and limited frame rates. The price tag of over $2,500 is also a significant drawback. Despite these drawbacks, I found the M17 R3 to be one of the fastest gaming laptops on the market, with stunning design that sets it apart from its competitors.

Panasonic Toughbook FZ-40

The Panasonic Toughbook FZ-40 is an impressively rugged laptop that has left me in awe. Weighing just 7.7 pounds, this fully-rugged device boasts a handle, upgraded 14-inch screen with 1920x1080 resolution, and a built-in 5-megapixel webcam. Its keyboard features four customizable light levels and programmable buttons, while the F11 key is designed specifically for police software. With numerous upgrade options, including expansion ports and battery slots, this laptop promises to be a top choice for those seeking reliability in harsh environments.
