There is a Gsyn option on the 15. Actually, for a 1070 you will find it difficult to get a screen without Gsync. They have two options. 60Hz IPS Gsync or 120Hz TN Gsync.
Also, before you test, do a repaste. The thermal compound on these things is basically a bit of toothpaste. You will see drastic improvement in temps and fan noise.
I find that due to timing, media units are often straight out of labs and some of the first units to hit the shore and a half step away from the first prototypes. That means the OEM wants to make sure they work. The same units are often recycled again and again for review purposes and the OS may not be set up the way you might see it such as having to flip the thing over and dig up the product key (Win 7/8/XP for example.)
I have the Alienware 15R4 32gb with a 1060, great laptop but my major complaint is the fans are super loud and spin up frequently and gets hot. I have read some new post that this laptop has thermal issues with paste and pads used. Have you experienced this or what's your recommendation? Thanks.
I bought 15 R4 in November 2018 in USA & brought it to India. Now the Battery has swollen and its breaking the frame, Tried searching related videos on how to replace the battery , did not find one.
Can you compare them by putting them next to and on top of each other, also next to other similar laptops for size comparison. Also what would you choose?
Alienware Amplifier directly connect to the CPU or PCIE while the thunderbolt connects to its port then it transfer the data into the screen. Also, the more devices attached to the external GPU the less performance you get.
Hi. I am currently looking to get an alienware 15 R3 and would like to know if there are any disadvantages to having a G-Sync display on a laptop? Does it have any significant impact on battery life of the laptop? Does having G-Sync display on a laptop mean that the integrated GPU is completely disabled and so all apps including non-graphics intensive ones run on the discrete GPU? Also, would using a UHD 4K display in combination with G-Sync affect battery life? During your unboxing of the alienware 15 R3 you mentioned that it's got OPTIMUS but in one of your responses to comments below you've said it also has G-SYNC?
@PcWorld Quick question. Do you think Dell Alienware/Asus ROG will hop on Ryzen APUs for their gaming laptops once its out ? If yes could there be some sort of crossfire/sli with dedicated AMD GPu and the on-APU GPUs ?
Laptops don't really do more than 4 cores. Look at the TDP of more than 4 core chips. Often its well over 50, and that's just not practical in a laptop. Even if they put a 4 core Ryzen in a computer, multi GPU gaming laptops are not really practical. The multiple GPUs make them heavier, deafeningly loud, and extremely heavy.
the core count on Raven Ridge will likely be quad. I do think companies will make Ryzen laptops--will they be gaming SKUs? I dunno. I'm also not sure it's worth the value for hybrid CFX or whatever it's called. Unfortunately, games just aren't supporting multi-GPUs much anymore.
I'd love to hear the results between the two as I've considered replacing my MacBook Pro (with it's loud fan) with a gaming laptop that would have less fan noise (if that's the case). I will be using one of these Alienware laptops to run my music software. So, here are my questions. 1. Equally specced out did either Alienware laptop 15 vs 17 outperform the other? 2. Which one was louder than the other doing intensive applications (like gaming or music editing)? Looking forward to your reply.
well i see steam is also installed and as kriss p sayed so.. it aint no unboxing vid.. u r doing the same as u said u unboxed it and boxed it again and called it an unboxing vid
Can you also check the temperature especially while gaming or under heavy load. Most say that these have issues and needs re pasting thermal pastes for these to function better and avoid throttling. Thanks :D
Alienware already responded to than one by changing how they apply the termal paste,they got all new process for that.You should check some forums for more info.
Miki Pavlovik That's not entirety true I got a Kaby Lake i7 in my 17 and after gaming for 15 mins the CPU almost reaches 100 degrees. I have overclocked it to 4.1 ghz but those temps are not acceptable. I received the laptop mid April.
Brett Bremer ffs you overclovked to 4.1 a LAPTOP processor, i have a full size-liquid cooled i7 6700k and i get 80 degrees after half an hour and over 90 after 6 hours full load... and it's LIQUID COOLED and in a full tower.... what do you pretend man. idk people these days
Bozzik Well after a repaste with grizzly kryonaut and a -.050 undervolt on the cpu overclocked to 4.2 ghz my max temps reach 86 degrees on BF1. So sorry to say the temps your getting make no sense and there is probably another issue with your rig.
you are very right , i thank you for pointing the fan issue i hate fans making noise, i won't buy a laptop that is so pricy and then end up with a noise source in my room.
Hi Adam, I am sure this would be the most noob question. Does the outer brown box have the service tag/Express service code, so that I can confirm if the RAM speed is 2133 Mhz or 2400 Mhz before opening it? Your help is much appreciated.
Mine is 17 r4 and I'm having trouble with the speakers even reinstalled the drivers and still have problems they sound distorted. If someone knows how can I fix it let me know if not maybe I'll return it it's a shame because it's a great laptop
Sayanta Seth media get units before they are released to market. they often come straight from OEM labs. sometimes the OS is resealed, sometimes it isn't.
Those look like whored out review units so he doesn't care much. I've Never seen a new laptop come in a box without protection on the lid and between the screen/keyboard
lol diamondheat9, I've seen a lot of unboxing videos of these Alienware laptops, and I have a feeling Dell did not put any attention into protecting the screen from the keyboard with a piece of micro fiber cloth..Shame really.
hi I just join to your channel I really love the Alienware laptop I wish I could get one but I cannot buy them in my Country Bolivia sadly plus I don't have the money I am saving money 'cause i really need a laptop to college. I wanna see more about the laptop specially the R3 15 that has a option for a RX 470 with 8gb
Two things that kinda sucks still. First the display bezel is horrible. The 15 could be a 17 with a bezel like that. Second the keyboard subpar in every category. I am not saying it totally sucks, there are alot of worse keyboards out there, but for the price point and the brand I expect more to be honest.
Check out MSI GT73VR 6RF(Titan Pro)-220 you throw a game at it with ultra settings and you won't even hear any complaints about overheating, like on alienware.
KingBlake man the 17 r4 has had so many fucking problems with over heating. If you play with everything in "ultra" for 3 hours the cpu fucking reachs 100 degrees. OMFG
actually i'm kinda concerned about how he handles the laptop.
I have the Alienware 15 since about 3 years now and its still my fave gaming Notebook.
man..handle Alienware gently..dont be so crude
It can take it.
Rajat B. I'm with you on that one bruh. If I had a 17 I'd treat it like a baby. He's throwing them around like nothing haha
:) thanks Mint..these gadgets and machines are our sweet love..how can we handle them roughly :)
yeah Gordon karma..
Y’all dumb it’s an Alienware it’s built tough and big for a reason

rahul rawat have you repasted? if so, is it now cool and quiet?
rahul rawat
I just got one as my first gaming laptop. Where can I get repasting done and what is price?
Shortcut to device manager = Windows Key + Pause Break
You're welcome!
shortcuts? Bah.
Just a tip ;)
I find that as you get older, you turn into a real life Dory.
The most awful unboxing about those two beautiful machines!!!
how come you guys didnt have to go through the setting up process after turning it on for the first time ?
!!
?

Gordon Ung or it's because this is not an actual new laptop unboxing and you think your viewers have never seen a new Alienware 15 unboxing
Sunil Naraine and what actual value is there with that now?
I have the Alienware 15R4 32gb with a 1060, great laptop but my major complaint is the fans are super loud and spin up frequently and gets hot. I have read some new post that this laptop has thermal issues with paste and pads used. Have you experienced this or what's your recommendation? Thanks.
How is the thermal performance for both 15 & 17 inch laptops ?
Dont forget to tell them that Alienware AMP is faster than thunderbolt 3 egpu's
You can put up to a 1080 GTX in that Alienware 17 R4
yes
For those curious about size difference... the 17 is only about an inch longer than the 15 and about 1-1.5 lbs heavier.
I bought 15 R4 in November 2018 in USA & brought it to India. Now the Battery has swollen and its breaking the frame, Tried searching related videos on how to replace the battery , did not find one.

I still dont get why it takes a while to power on after pushing the power button. Even gordon thought the battery was empty when he powered on the 15.

Are they good for content creation? UE4 substance maya zbrush?
where are the plastic that you peel off the screen? or they send same units to all the reviewers?
Can I game on it if I get the stock version with no upgrades at all?
No G-Sync is also available for 15 r3 also. My 15r3 came with a G-Sync display
Yup. this one is indeed a g-sync / 120hz.
how much u pay for it
Noob here. What does a G-sync do? And how does it differ from V-Sync?
For video editing which is best laptop ?
why so rough ? what are you trying to prove, how durable they are ? :S
Just ordered one hyped
lucky fucker!
How is it?
what the fuck is that question? ofcourse the 17 r4
Typical Bandit lol my father if I will get good marks in test then I can get this laptop

Is color accuracy good for photoshop cc?
i have the 13 oled version, is fking awesome!
When I unboxed mine I had to go through all the setting step... how come yours was so fast?
Hi Adam, I am sure this would be the most noob question. Does the outer brown box have the service tag/Express service code, so that I can confirm if the RAM speed is 2133 Mhz or 2400 Mhz before opening it? Your help is much appreciated.
is this worth buying in 2024?
Is that alien ware 17 R4 or R5?
is Alienware 15 is good for designing course in University
Mine is 17 r4 and I'm having trouble with the speakers even reinstalled the drivers and still have problems they sound distorted. If someone knows how can I fix it let me know if not maybe I'll return it it's a shame because it's a great laptop
How come theres a lot of computers where ur working at? Do u specialise in computers?

Is Alienware 15 R4 having USB C ports?
These laptops good for photo/video editing as well? Cheers
What is the pricing on the 17
Can you do an unboxing for Alienware 13
If you unboxed then how come you not get the windows setup?
Sayanta Seth media get units before they are released to market. they often come straight from OEM labs. sometimes the OS is resealed, sometimes it isn't.
Which one better 15 or 17 ?
the 14
that thing is a beauty.
Y'all must have got those for free because you are treating them real rough for an unboxing.
Those look like whored out review units so he doesn't care much. I've Never seen a new laptop come in a box without protection on the lid and between the screen/keyboard
lol diamondheat9, I've seen a lot of unboxing videos of these Alienware laptops, and I have a feeling Dell did not put any attention into protecting the screen from the keyboard with a piece of micro fiber cloth..Shame really.
did the 17 R5 came out? isn't that the 17 R4???
Jean Guerra same asking too! Is that R4 or R5?
Win + Pause break
Is 1060 good bc I’m buying one for 1800

Does this guy know dell makes alienware
I like this guy..
what is the price of 17 inch laptop. and 15
any one please.
AW 17 with a 1080 starts around 2400$
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 bought it ! Love it !!! 👌🏼😜
i got a bugget of 1250$ which alienware i should buy minimum properties....16gb ram....gtx 1060 6gb vram....i 7
When buying alienware, you can't have a "budget"
Ablaze why????????i know they r expensive....but plz can u tell 1250$ to 1350$ good alienware laptop
With Alienware, you may as well buy one with a 1080 so its future proof. Or if you can't afford that then you should (most likely) but a desktop.
Ablaze i does't have that much bugget for gtx 1080.....and i want a laptop not desktop....cuz i love to travelling
Look for a different brand then since Alienware provide Quality, Performance, but not a decent price. Take a look at Asus or Msi.
How does the alienware 17 differ from the alienware 15
Screen size, and thermals are typically better due to its larger size. It also has a numpad, which the 15 doesn't. Not a whole lot of difference.
Sterben ok sweet at to be honest do you believe they both will have the same fps
Daniel Edwardsen yes I own two cuz my brother bought a PC and I played both of them and i almost got the same fps with almost the same spec
Why are you throwing them around
Both has optical disc drvies or not
I don't thank most modern gaming laptops have optical drives anymore.
Think*
haha ,i do this every time I switch on ,5 sec to show signs of "on"
oh no
I like this guy
what sucks are the gigantic bezels. Brrrrrrrr
When did amazon make a gs350vr? Lol
no optical drive i know I'm ancient
i hate fan noise..i've always hated fan noise!
