    I remember back when I was thinking about what kind of gaming PC I wanted the alpha just came out and I was considering getting one but when I saw you couldn't upgrade the GPU I decided to just build a PC. I remember watching Alienware's Alpha gameplay videos on their channel and I commented something like "you should be able to hook it up to the amp" and they actually replied and said something like "good idea, we'll mention it to the design team."

    • @danukil7703
      @danukil7703 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      It really depends. I, for example, am only considering getting one due to the fact that it is so small. Of course, one could build a mini ITX system, but there aren't many of them (or they are crowdfunded like DAN cases, and thus don't always ship properly), so I do not know. If you are a university student and you are always moving from your dormitory to your parents' house, then I suppose it would make sense to buy the R2. Otherwise, you should just build your own pc.

    • @realbadtech9318
      @realbadtech9318 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      It seems pretty reasonable to me. I just built a mini ITX system and paid about $700. Ended up with 680GB of SSD storage, a water cooled i7-3770k and a GTX 970. Even though I bought the smallest case you can cram those components into, it's still at least 3-4x's the size of this little Alienware. And for someone who only games at 1080p and has no interest in VR yet, the difference between a 960 and 970 is meh.

    Hey Dave! I was actually really really excited when you made this video. 1) because I'm an owner of an Alienware Alpha
    and 2) because I'm wondering if you will encounter the yellow blinking lights of death.
    After about a week, most owners will experience when their Alienware Alpha turns on, but doesn't boot, and the power button blinks in yellow a constant 5 blinks.
    If you do encounter this problem, please try to make a review. I really hope you see this comment!

      6700HQ = 6700T, 970M = 960. If you want a portable computer, instead of being relegated to a fixed desk, It would be much better to buy a Gaming laptop with a 6700HQ-970M, you can get a good one for $1300. For $400 more, you get an inbuilt battery = UPS, Inbuilt Screen = Monitor, Inbuilt Mouse, keyboard, webcam PC that you can use anywhere.

    • @kyledpimentel
      @kyledpimentel 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +kninez My problem with laptops around that price range though is the small screen, and I think I would prefer a wider display, but good suggestion though.

    • @kninez13
      @kninez13 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Kyle Pimentel Do you also hate phones that cost as much as laptops $600, that have teeny tiny screens?......Don't be silly, laptops have small screens because their entire point is portability. they are meant to be portable desktops, their screens are made up for since you sit alot closer to them.

    • @ethanwoo5376
      @ethanwoo5376 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      kninez I hope you realise that all phones don't cost as much as even low end gaming laptops and they have completely different uses. It's not like you're gonna call a friend with a 17" phone that is as thick as a laptop. Also this guy is obviously not looking for portability just a small gaming PC that he could fit away and attach to a tv or monitor and get great price out of it. To get the $1700 gaming laptop you mentioned, which would still be slightly slower that this you could buy 2 of these. I would take that over a gaming laptop any day. Actually getting the gaming laptop you mentioned would be soon outdated and even more new gaming laptops would just become more pricey, making your suggestion obsolete.

    Are you sure it's a desktop 960? I presumed it's the same part in the Zotac Magnus 970: techreport.com/review/29208/zotac-zbox-magnus-en970-reviewed NVidia didn't like them using "M" branded parts in a desktop, so they rebranded the 970M as a 960.

    • @Dave2D
      @Dave2D  8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      +tipoomaster yup. Desktop class 960. (No M). That's what makes this thing special.

    • @tipoomaster
      @tipoomaster 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ***** So it's GM206 in GPU-Z, not GM204? Just making sure, because Nvidia already pulled a fast one like that in the Zotac box I mentioned, the 970M was rebranded a GTX 960, without the M, but still mobile.

    That limitation of only 8 gb of ram really bugs me..
    Is it important you think or not?
    What is even more strange, is that in the US market, they give you the option to install up to 16gb of ram while in Europe we only get the 8 gb option. Do you know why that is?

    • @IbizanHound2
      @IbizanHound2 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      UPDATE: For anyone who has the same question as me, a representative of Alienware explained that the 16gb version that is available through the US site is in fact the R2 version of the alpha, which apparently is not yet available in the European market. So that's that.

Can i upgrade the GPU or buy the Alienware Box You talked about in the video NO. I will NEVER shop at Dell again!

    • @TheDorapapi321
      @TheDorapapi321 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      sorry it`s not the same machine, one has a dogshit 860M 2GB, which is almost 2 times slower than the GTX 960 with half the video ram
      and you`ll be stuck forever with your dogshit gpu, and that's why used Alpha R1 sells for dirt cheap now

      @TheDorapapi321 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      amp will bypass the graphics from the alpha r2 and use the one that you put inside the amp at no performance loss whatsoever, whenever you decide to plug the amp to your alpha R2, a reboot is needed(as opposed to the one from razer which uses thunderbolt 3)

    The walmart in Alabama when I was visiting my grandparents in 2021 had one more of this laying around and no one was buying it despite them lowering the price by so much and they got it down to 20 dollars. And no I'm not even kidding, twenty dollars. I ended up buying it and it came with an i3 6th gen and a gtx 960 with 8gb ddr4. Honestly fell in love with it ever since. I upgraded it later with a 6700 and now its being used as a LAN computer so when friends come over they just hook up their playstation controllers and we play call of duty zombies split screen or those mini games that lets you play with multiple controllers hooked up.

    I have the R1 model and love it. This R2 model is what I dreamed as a perfect mini PC. Super compact and now with GPU amplifier support =very upgrade-able. Great job Alienware!

    As someone who decided to build a hulking ATX rig in his Junior year of college, I really appreciate the note at the end on this thing's portability. Great review!

    I am impressed with Alienware! They nailed all my complaints about their PC last time and to also see that Alienware home set to play games and control the console through a controller just made my day. Awesome job, Alienware

    I really appreciate your in-depth review, including getting into the guts of the box. One major point for me was that you used Premiere on the Alpha to edit the review video. This shows that the Alpha is no longer a Steam Machine, but a viable, affordable PC. I've been considering the Alpha for a while now and since seeing your video, I'm very likely to purchase one. My daughter is considering the Alpha to replace her failing laptop, so I recommended this video to her. Keep up the great work.

    This system reallly dazzled me. Its upgradability is amazing and it takes factors of desktop and laptop performance and combines it in a small system that really just needs peripherals to function fully. Blew my mind! And its pricing is very fair.

    Thanks for the review. I'm looking into getting a PC for primarily gaming and I normally only play Blizzard games. I was looking at laptops and desktops and was just not getting to confident about buying because of price. Then I actually took a look at the Alpha and watched some reviews including this one and feel pretty comfortable with possibly moving forward to purchase their highest configuration, knowing I'm getting a powerful machine without really breaking the bank when its only going to have one purpose.

    Honestly for the price, it's really well speced. The $949 is not bad for a Skylake i7 and 4GB 960 (Around $600 there for just the components). In a build, you would be spending much more with finding a case, proper psu, and a cooling solution for the PC before getting into storage, memory, and the OS. It's a great deal for someone wanting to try PC gaming but not have to sacrifice the simplicity and form factor of a console.

    I was in the confusion of getting a mini pc (zotac sn970) vs Gaming Laptop (Asus Gl552)....
    Now im fixed with the Alpha R2 which is certainly Better than any gaming laptop or Mini PC at the price point :)
