this looks stunning! so happy to see AW getting back to smashing Balls. I am worried about the cooling! can't wait to see benchmarks!
Great job
black version looks awesome!!!!
I love how Frank Azor is grounded! Never says it's the best of all laptop always comparing to their preceding laptops!
Alienware's return to form. Their last great desktop replacement upgrade-able laptops like this were the AW17, AW18, M17x and M18x. Can't wait for this.
Really nice work Alienware have done here. Just wondering about graphic cards and CPU updgrades availability in 3 or 4 years for this specific model
This BAD BOY is amazing!
I wish it was $1949.00 more like $2500.00 with a 6 core, 8G ram, spin drive and 60 refresh rate, still impressive and I don't see anything competing with it. Not sure why I would want 4k on a 17 inch if at all OLED would be nice.
Just noticed the similarity (visually) between this unit and Dells 7000 series notebooks.
wish this was available last December when effin ordered my m15! LoL
nice!
This is the future , this is how i imagined a laptop for years .
You know what ?? The design just looks like another laptop which it is standard gaming design and still not impressive like they did back in the old days. In my opinion, the old design model still look much badass and way futuristic. If only, Alienware M17x R4, M18x and mALX model come as a new laptop with the new powerful specs today, it would look more impressive than this one.
@@ytanonymity3585 You must be high or drunk.
ah Kin FUCK YOU. You know nothing about the Alienware laptop that I just mentioned
I was thinking the same but trust me it's far from it, you can't even access the NVIDA panel, meaning if you have an 4k display or TV it will not let you play in 4k. I'm trying one more thing before giving up on it and if that doesn't work I will call them and return the unit and trust me I will never use dell for anything $4k for what to get 5 more fps over my desktop intel 3930K / gtx1070 32 gig of DDR3 preforms almost the same but is able to render in 4k
I have the area 51 r2.
My only complaint is it's not portable and I was thinking about this one but the battery life isnt that good from what I heard
How can I select NVMe SSD Protocol from Bios in Alienware 17 R3 System? I don't see Sata Operation PCIe NVMe in Alienware 17 R3 System BIOS.
Watching on my 13 r3 oled
This is my dream bro
She's a beauty
Well i purchased it , however for future generation video cards the alienware not sure how it will be upgraded. So u can upgrade from current low spec to.uper spec.
Next step replaceable screen too?
Can the screen be upgraded?
I would like a screen with high resolution plus high refresh not to mention g sync.
I haven't seen a screen like that. Dunno why we haven't seen one yet, since it does exist for desktop monitors.
@nick donzanti no screen is not upgradable
I buy one 15R4 four months ago and now they come up with basically A Desktop in a laptop form factor?? Great just Great
Well, those are two very different machines. The 15 is much smaller. This is a 17-inch format. Also, can't help the pace of innovation sometimes bud. :)
Ya i wish i could return
You'll be fine, even though Tech is a double edged sword, quick to be cutting edge and quick to be obsolete.
(well not obsolete, but no longer as flashy when something new comes along)
I am still happy with my 2016 Alienware 15" R3 GTX1070 and can play all modern games comfortably at 60 FPS, high settings at 1080P and hadn't the need to get an Amplifier yet.
(Xcom 2, 4K high settings runs reasonable!)
So your machine will do you good for more years than mine at 1080P gaming and we still have the amplifier for 4K gaming.
The only thing I think holding our machines back is reaching a CPU bottleneck in a few years.
I would buy a time machine to go back in time to stop me from buying a laptop last year.
I know how u feel man xD
Freakin love ya Alienware
Is the mobo also changeable? If not, then isnt changing the CPU and GPU rather useless when it already has the top end?
not if the socket stays the same
Word of advice to anyone bying the alienware area 1 if you buy the product with rtx 2060 installed you will not get fan cooling system with side fan cooling!! and the ac adapters will be less powerful ie one that built handle rtx 2060. If you decide up grade later you would need to get heatsink and side fans as well as an upgraded ac adapters. So if you plan to upgrade in near future my suggestion would be upgrade the graphics card there and then when you buy the laptop do yourself a favour save your wallet that headache
what about the temps??
That's a bad boy! LoL😂🤣
Think white is more beautiful than black, what do you think ? In order to keep this computer several years, which color is the best ? Ty
I like white as well, personally. It will likely show fingerprints much less, though it may scuff or scar slightly easier than black. If you take care of the machine though, I think it looks much more refined in white, personally. Really slick.
Frank said in the end it is launching at CES but reporters saying it will launch Jan 29?
It's a couple weeks out. This was shot in December. That's why he said that
HotHardware
What about starting price he said starting from 1949$ but the other reports said it's starting from 2549$ ?
Mr M the lowest spec at launch would be 2549 and will be followed by lower specs which I think would have a RTX 2060 starting at 1949. The one releasing this month at 2549 will have a 2070 and i7 9700k.

Rtx 2060 with Ability to upgrade in the future in my opinion is not bad compared to other RTX laptops prices let's wait for honest review to see how he can handle the thermals
@@mrm40 I agree. It is highly likely that you have to order the part directly from alienware which will be priced higher. Also, we do not know if next gen intel chips will support LGA 1151 socket. In my opinion Alienware's hands are tied down and what they say should be taken with a grain of salt but it is great to see them at least trying it. You also need to be more technically savvy to change the components as it will not be as easy changing components in a desktop.
I think I'm in love. I don't need this. I want this.
Cough cough £1949 for low end and up to £4.000 for high end
Did you say names of Piper fawn, little caprice and Voilla A😍😍😍
Did he just tell $1949/-? because in many other places they told it would be $2500/-? which is the true price?
Im surprised that alienware did not do a water cooled for cooling than fan based as water cooling is better
Alienware team took them 708(17,000 hours) days to make the all new redesign Alienware Area 51M
Still not look impressive design like the old Area 51m, mALX, M17x and M18x design. These old model still look much badass and way futuristic
Holy shit.
Right? :)
I buy the AW 17r5 3 months ago and now they actually come out with a computer that has thinner bezzels and an SD card slot 😑😑😑
it was kind of obvious tho, me too i was attempted to buy an alienware during black friday, but after i remembered CES is coming, and i cancelled my order beacause i know i would regret it XD now im super happy i did the right decision to wait :D
Why do you want thinner bezels that's a big negative. Everything else is very good
Nemao I like the looks of the R5 better. I ask don't need an rtx so... I'm assuming this thing will cost a lot more than what I paid
Tech always be gonna be real fast nowadays
There is no sd card slot.
all just i can say is "damn"
Huge "diminishing returns" after 1440p and ~ 120hz so the "sweet spot" is really 1440p / 120hz. 1440p looks A LOT better than 1080p but 4K doesn't look much if any better than 1440p for most games I've played (MANY) and frame rates above ~ 100-120hz aren't going to somehow make you a pro player or even provide you an advantage period.
So IMO, people are just throwing their money away when spent on 240hz and 4K gaming monitors.
Currently, the very BEST overall gaming monitors are 3440X1440P - Ultra Wide / Curved - 21:9 - G-SYNC - 100-120HZ - 4ms response time.
In the future (and now to a limited degree...) of course there are monitors with the following specs: 4K - 144HZ - HDR - G-SYNC - Curved / Ultra Wide (21:9 aspect ratio) - 4ms response time - etc.. I've seen a $5000.00 65' Monitor on Amazon with similar specs but that's obviously a TON of money and would require at least 2X 2080Ti's to take advantage of. Even then you'd probably be struggling to maintain ~ 100HZ on more demanding games. Regardless, said monitor paired with the optimal gaming rig would be an insane experience to behold I'm sure and SUPER expensive...
Would buy this in an instant if it came with 1440p 120hz, 144hz or 4k panel.
i hope the touch pad lights up
Tim Custer it does. There’s footage around of it lighting up.
It does for sure. That one just had it off.
It does
it does tho
Are there still 3 m.2 slots?
good question, because I only saw one section in the top left.
If I am going to go all in with a new Alienware laptop, I also want to make sure I can stuff it with as much SSD storage as possible over along period of time.
My Alienware 15" is able to have 9TB, so this should not take less.
No, it only supports 2 m.2 slots + 1 2.5" drive
Upgrading Intel CPU might pose problems as Intel changes every compatibility configuration with each upgraded generation so that people will have to buy a whole this instead of upgrading!
Watching on a m13R3
Can I put a ryzen CPU instead an Intel one?
so why not a 1440p or 4k option???
Looks like I'll be upgrading from my 17 R5 i9 1080oc..
Why ? You just upgraded last year
I just hope they are fast enough to release the upgrades as soon as they are released.
Dell has a very bad history of releasing GPU 6 months after official release. Making their new systems coming out way behind the competition.
This all sounds good. But I wouldn’t hold my breath on the parts being ready as soon as Nvidia release them.
there is still always the amplifier...but I know.
I wonder if there could potentially be SLI/Crossfire (not sure if AMD still does that) abilities if desktop upgradable laptops take off now that eGPUs are becoming more common?
Duane Locsin SLI and Crossfire were good back in the day. But the trend now even with desktops is that support for it is dwindling. Most DX12 games can support it, but developers just don’t want to implement it. Even with the new NVIDIA RTX card. You see now they only support SLI on 2 cards now not 3 way or 4 way.
With less and less support for it. And the single card performance is now good enough.
I’d say if they decided to make an 18’’ version of the laptop then maybe. But remember these are custom full size RTX2080 cards. They are not mobile MXM versions of the cards. Making them bigger in size with custom connectors.
Also just Incase you were thinking it. The Graphics amplifier is a standalone device. It’s either one or the other. It can’t be SLI’d with the internal card.
That guy lies to you, I have an RTX 2060 MXM 3.0.... Umm dude Clevo makes them. There still around. Go to Eurocom. Laptop I’m using is Eurocom Sky x4c
Is the display TN or IPS?
TN, IPS cannot have a 144hz refresh rate. Not even 120hz.
@@ultramale6813 AHVA Panels (which is essentially IPS) are up to 144Hz now, that's what is used all of the 144Hz screens are on notebooks and the super expensive 27" UHD HDR 144Hz desktop monitors from Asus and Acer.
@@sabishiihito oh I didn't know that, thanks man.
@@ultramale6813 ain't tech progress grand?
@@ultramale6813 IPS 144 hz panels
the cooling system, i doubt it after 1 year later.
I'd have to see it in action first but I can tell you from seeing the guts of this machine up close that's it's pretty robust.
upgradeable parts cpu part is cool but upgrading the gpu? really its a custom pcb
that does NOT look like 300w of cooling. we'll see with the reviews
Yea, noticed that too.
@Zfast4y0u They've already said it clocks at 5GHz and can be overclocked from there.
@Zfast4y0u Well on their website and from reps, all say 5 GHz
@Zfast4y0u I plan on buying this laptop. I'll let you know how it goes
@Zfast4y0u Well I have a Razer Blade pro right now so that would definitely be an upgrade for me
The best Laptop my money can't buy :(
but it's a 1080p screen, that's a shame for all rtx cards.
SidelyNorman can you break down what that means exactly I’m considering going all in in this but I’m fairly new to desktops.
@@durtyred86 maybe you can check this out th-cam.com/video/EAOdW4SjcyI/w-d-xo.html
You don't need a high-res output on a 17" screen, you just can't make out the pixels at that density. I'd happily sacrifice some screen res in exchange for blazing fast frame rates. Besides, take it home and hook it up to a bigger, higher res screen. no big deal.
This is nothing new!!! Way back. The M17x and M18x and M18 were all fully upgradable.
Nice they are going back to what Alienware was all about. But I stress this is not new for them.
Dell just followed everyone else with cheap thin laptops soldered CPUS.
BUT before that. They were all desktop cpus.
Hopefully they will be top of the notebookforums again like they were before.
Wish they would bring back the 18’’ laptops though. They were beasts.
I know right. Plus, the old design of M17x, M18x and mALX design still look much badass and futuristic than this one. I'm still sticking with my M17x R4 and still could afford gaming today yo with the GTX 1070 in it.
I wish they would bring back the design of mALX, and Area 51 M7700, they were badass too
YT Anonymity wasn’t too keen on the M7700. Mines got wasted offshore during bad weather. Air conditioning unit was desk height we were in a container on deck. And a massive wave crashed the side of container. Laptop got drenched. Left if a few days to dry out. But the salt water ruined it. Was all corroded green inside.
I liked the m17x and m18x. But still love my M18. The last 18’’ from dell. Dual 980m’s.
R Alcroft did 980m still could afford gaming today ?? Can it run PUBG ??
YT Anonymity yes it can. PUGB in not an intensive game for graphics. ???
I dont know why people are hyped up about this laptop. Design wise, granted it looks sexy. But the fact they are excited about upgradebilty just like Tim Cook was when introducing "New" iPhone features that competitors had generations prior to iPhone XS, fake shy excitement. Alienware just admit you were wrong leaving upgradebilty wagon, and realized lot of us just love tinkering with our laptops. True users do...
me dreem
But how does it cool?
likely very bad
Brad Haines have you buy this laptop and try it ?
Theres a huge problem with this laptop. Screen resolution is only 1080 they couldve tried uhd or qhd for that kind of power it has. Such waste of money
manuel gramajo LoL such a waste ,shut up you would kill for one of these
Expensive toy for rich🎺🎺🎩🎩🌩🌩
This thing is fucking useless, we have the graphics amplifier. Why would you buy a big ass thing. It needs 2 power supplies to run it. And you don’t even know if they will be able to make future graphic cards. Amd and nvidia said that they have no idea that there future gpu dies will even fit on dells boards to upgrade. If your thinking of buying this please don’t. I personally think your waisting money. Dell we want to know that all of this will be upgradable in the future. And I know it’s new but I really want somthing like this but I want it knowing I can upgrade it not maybe upgrade it. If I want a 2080 I’m going to buy a 2080 but what about the future platform gpu dies??? There’s no way you can convince me that you can build them without knowing what the power consumptions or size of the dies are going to be. I really think this will be a flop. Sorry dell I love your stuff. But I really think your reaching for somthing that isn’t going to work in the future. And for over $2000.00 to start in Canada I really think you need to show that the gpu will be upgradable. To me I really think your not going to be there for support later down the line.
To bad this all ended up being lies! No upgradability at all!
Not exactly. You can upgrade as long as it’s in the same generation lol.
Seems pretty overpriced. I looked on the Dell website. Starts at 2500 and it only comes with the gtx 1070 at that price.
With free upgrade to latest gen cards when shipped
nice commitment statement to future proofing this platform however how many times have we the public heard this BS before only to find out they no longer support your system. We can only hope.
Exactly, upgrade to our proprietary slot for the cost of a new laptop and until we stop supporting it at the 30 series gfx.
