@@infinite_xiao5483 I believe that it only applies for Inspiron laptops and desktops, with the max discount being around $100. However, I think this varies form region to region.
Loving your reviews! I'm debating whether to get the r2 with a 3060 but with a higher TDP and newer CPU, or the r1 with a 3070 with a lower TDP and older CPU. Do you think they perform similar to each other? Which one should I get?
Which ever is cheaper tbh, the 3070 in the older r1 is still running at a wild wattage and will still slap the 3060. If it's gpu grunt you're after, the older model will do just fine though CPU wise, you're probably looking at like 10-15% better on the new gen =)
@@RyanYu just like the last time 🙃.... The title is good the thumbnail need improvement but too grow further you need a change of mindset.... But that too depends on whether you want to become a big youtuber or nahh.. for example look at the reviews of other tech youtubers and then watch your see what they do better and try to learn that..!
I have the R1 with i7-11800H, 3080 and 32gb ram It's incredibly powerful. It can match and sometimes beat my desktop (running i9-9900k, 2080 super overclocked and 32gb ram) Only down side is the amount of noise it creates but if you're wearing a headset, it honestly doesn't matter!😄
Thank you very much with this review! Indeed with most reviewers usually only reviewing the highest specs, it makes one too afraid to buy anything with lower specs than that. I had a request though, can you please do the same kind of thing with the base model of x14 (around 1500$ now) and maybe x15 R2 (around 2150$ now) too? Especially x14 if it can handle AAA titles at a reasonable level (40+ fps in highest settings), then I'd assume it a very good deal. Another thing that I think you missed in this review and I'd hope that you include it in the next possible ones, is how would thermals and fan noises be like if you use the balance mode instead of performance (from what I hear the performance mod increases fan noise and thermals by a lot for not too much gain in fps) and if you manually limit the fps to say 60fps.
Unless I'm mistaken the vents around the keyboard are actually air intakes, not outtakes so they pull air in. The exhaust is mainly in the back and maybe the sides (I don't remember whether they're intake or outakes).
Just get the cheapest one, because you can always upgrade the RAM and SSD later. The graphics card can be upgraded later with an external GPU like Razer Core X via Thunderbolt 4. I see no need to buy the higher end configurations from the website.
@@RyanYu Sadly you can't 😅 Magnesium alloy is its own thing, it's lightweight similar to normal plastic however it's a lot more durable and stronger than normal plastics. So for future references you should refer it as "a magnesium alloy chassis" since it isn't plastic😉
@@RyanYu Yeah people complain too much. You knew what you were buying when you bought it. 17 inch machines today are much much lighter than 17 machines in the past. In the past I owned an Alienware m18x r2. That thing weighed 12 pounds without the power bricks.
@@RyanYu Id use it for games like squad and beamng drive or rust. But I kind of think it’s over kill was looking about the X14 but I keep rethinking it because of that 17 inch monitor. I just can’t decide. With the x14 I can afford to max it out but with the x17 I can only afford the base model.
Duuuh let's use the word "bad" in title as click-bait, then say the laptop is great
Some good and some bad.
Also, if you want to know more bad, the actual bad, stay tuned Lucas as my follow up review is almost all about the bad !
Congrats! You are the winner of this video, please set up your email at your TH-cam profile, so I can send you the gift card.
It's not plastic, if you slide your finger across the bottom vent you can hear the metal resonance sound, it is made of magnesium alloy.
I thought that too, when I removed the back panel it feels cold...
This is why I'm so thankful my uncle works at Dell. I can get that sweet 15% discount on the MSRP.
Nice.

I will get the R2 still. The 12th gen cpu is very powerful.

What is the model of the two m2 ports? Are they all pcie4.0? Can it replace the network card? Is it soldered to the motherboard?
I will cover it in the follow up video.
A bit better than that last laptop with 8 gig of ram. lol
Indeed haha.
Dude, I want one bad.....Like even though I am just a database developer.
Its design is just so nice.
Really cool!
Can you please try Warzone
Indeed.
Are those 4k versions worth it?
Not really, man, for a laptop, you don't get the experience of 4k, the screen is too small.
@@RyanYu alright!
it actually looks good
that is very good computer
Something can be improved too.
Great title bud
Thank you man! What about the thumbnail?
@@RyanYu it's a very generic youtube thumbnail nothing out of the ordinary.

Still good for cheapest and expensive 😭
There are some things could have been better tho.

How many fps you get in warzone 2 at 1440p normal settings?
100.

I think I have the noise level test both gaming and idle no? for x14, I will consider it too.
@@RyanYu I meant the noise level while gaming but with a different profile/while having limited the frame rates.
@@ookami-chan3328 I see.
Not so bad considering i lost faith after the x15 r1 but the price its paying for the brand and flex of the alienware design lol
Exactly! You can get a much better one with that much money, but just the design may not be this beautiful.
that is one hell of a sick gaming laptop that is just too much for me to afford it :')
Me either.
Wow, looks cool. I am waiting from my Alienware R13 desktop, wish I had this to pair them :)
You got the same color right for the r13 right?
@@RyanYu Yes got the Lunar White with Cyro-tech cooling :)

Yep.
Ram and ssd cannot be upgraded from what I'm told ...
@@jewishhella2481 If I remember correctly, only the X15 and X14 lack upgradeable RAM, whereas the X17 allows you to upgrade both.
They use a special designed key cap.I don't know how to put it back.
... yours is off ?
Hey guys those who are using lumion in your Alienware x17 r2
:)
I have the r1 3070, no thermal improvement, m17 runs cooler

what is benchmark result for Cinebench R23?
I'm gonna do that in the next video.

Do you know the TDP of the GPU?
I want to know.
Sorry, I don't.
It's made from a magnesium alloy not plastic! Great review though, just a small detail off 👌

Was this a 16GB or 32GB RAM model?
32
That's one not so cheap laptop, that is cheap.

6 pounds is light to me. My aorus 17x is 8 pounds lol
