Alienware laptops are way more affordable than MacBook Pro.
Any laptop is more affordable.
CrispCarbon aren't they the same price, 3k?
WalrusEmpire
same price, much better internals.
Alec Whatshisname CPU is better on the MBP i believe (maxed out in CPU and GPU one) and the 455/460 is like the 960m
Alec Whatshisname so not buy that much
I actually find the boxy design of this laptop to be quite refreshing. I'm getting sick of curves in tech tbh
Yeah me too
I love curves makes it fancy like alien tech should be , squares remind me of the 70s
*Laughs in razer*
My alienware13 r3 still works great almost a year later. It's small enough to let you play games pretty much anywhere. In the car or even in a cramped coach seat on a plane, this laptop just works. It's still pushing out over 60fps from modern games in late 2018 too. I could not be happier with this thing.
What specs do you own? I'd love to know what the battery life is for normal tasks and browsing for your setup
@@Adam-zb5kk my Alienware 13 r3 has:
i7-7700hq
GTX 1060 6gb
16gb ddr4 2400
Also I have the IPS screen, which won't experience oled burn in.
On battery I can play games for about an hour. If I am just on Google the battery can last around two hours if you set everything to power saving. I don't use this laptop on battery very often though. You will get much better results if you plug it in to a wall. In all of the situations I listed above I had access to electrical outlets. The laptop is still very small and convenient to carry around though. It is possible to play games on battery but that will half your performance even with power saving turned off.
@@The_Reclaimer thanks friend. Glad you're enjoying it!
@@Adam-zb5kk sorry wrong guy
@@aronsch3488 Unless the
deal is under
$900 i would pass on it. After years of use i have discovered that a 13 inch laptop can not cool itself properly. I've reseated the heatsink, repasted it, and even bought a cooling pad and this laptop always overheated no matter what you ran on it.
Honestly I'm tired of yall reviewing stuff no one will ever get. I know yall benefit from the money. I'm just tired of this expensive stuff that isn't really that amazing. I want to be informed of new, innovating, or just great stuff. I don't want yall to break down the specs of stuff that I can search online and yall just say well how does it run? and say this runs great but this other thing does not in conclusion it is a ok product for what it's marketed for.
+Alfred Banuelos we are on the cutting edge because it represents what's GOING to be accessible in a couple years' time
no one will ever get? lol... if you cant afford then its not for you... pretty obvious stuff. tired of expensive stuff.. then get the cheaper alternatives.
No offense... Alienware laptops have never been good value for money compared to other laptops. They're almost like Apple in that the customers are paying extra just for the brand (and the fancy extra features that folks will honestly not use that much). I'd have expected a good laptop with a good GPU to be a bit more affordable by now, but the prices stay the same as the older GPUs get phased out for the new pricey ones.
Alfred Banuelos i agree
Alfred Banuelos dont fucking watch it then,bitch.
I can't stop looking at the lower bezel of the screen. It's HUGE.
People hate on Alienware so much. Yes, their products are overpriced, and yes, some of their components are not of amazing quality. But you gotta admit, that for some people at least, they love the aesthetic. And when you're a gamer with 3 grand to spend on a laptop, and you're looking for a smaller form factor, you can't deny that this is a solid option. There are quite a lot of gaming laptops on the market, and it really is your own opinion. But people who bash on Alienware simply because they hear everyone else hate on it are just plain stupid.
Trav_TV sorry man but I hate the design of it, I love a more sleek looking design like a MacBook
WalrusEmpire I would argue that the macbook is an even bigger waste of money looking at the hardware specs.
Alienware's price-to-performance isn't that bad anymore
MrDoge FTW but that's for the 13" model... same thing with the MacBook in terms of price
Alienware isn't overpriced anymore lol its cheaper than many other brands now..
am i the only one who enjoys heavier electronics? especially phones... i feel like im getting more for my money and the devices feel sturdier. why is everyone racing to the thinnest lightest thing :(
Dataanti I agree with you
Dataanti same! I want to feel the durability in my devices.
Dataanti super light phones just feel horrible to me. It doesn't feel like a quality expensive piece of equipment, it just feels like a toy.
well its good to know im not the only one :P
i think the weight of a device is the best way of measuring its heat sink capacity and that is extremely important for a phone because you are not going to upgrade the cooler but also other things like for example if i hold 2 gpus and i can feel ones heavier then the other i know the heavier one will cool better
basically a light device just means they cheaped out on the cooling and or battery and its going to throttle like crazy
My laptop lasts 45 minutes on battery with only a browser open. c:
45 minutes? Must be nice...
That's absolutely terrible.
my laptop from 2012 still gets 6 hours with Chrome on the original battery
What laptop?
Which laptop and how old?
2020 and this laptop is still carrying me through most games flawlessly. I have the much cheaper i5 1050 model but still runs great, just short on VRAM for some high intensity games.
i have the i7 1060 model with severe overheating and poor fps :(
@@frogslave4925 i have the 7700k 1060 version and it was starting to perform poor thermally. But I took it apart and redid termal paste and pads and now its pretty flawless again! My battery does need replacing tho lol
I cannot be the only one here who always reminded of Akatsuki jacket style everytime Linus wearing that jacket
2:35 Dennis is gonna get deported again for that typo
23.3 M as in meters lol
HW
thats hq not hw
Balázs Nyitray the razer had the hw and the alienware had the hq
There is HW lol
Separate trackpad buttons!!!! FINALLY
Yeh buttons are a lot better and make the trackpad looks nicer imo.
Forget these shitty laptops, where is scrap yard wars series 5?
Scrapayard Wars Laptop Edition, I want to see that.
the irony...
I hope they never do another season.
This is scrapyard wars
Wouldn't that be just hunting on craigslist/kijiji for 3 days for the best laptop deal?
Big tip if anyone wants the OLED but doesn’t wanna pay 2k, just add the OLED screen to the cheapest gtx 1060 option and buy your own extra storage or ram if you need it. Saved me a good couple hundred bucks
I may be one of the only few to say this, but the way you interactively show off your sponsors is great. I love the meaningful transitions!
I can't get over those humongous bezels
An Undefiened User was that sexual harassment?
its for TOBII eye tracking. The bezels are no where near as bad in person as it looks on video atleast on the 17 inch version I have.
Don't forget to use a screensaver with that thing
how do you comment 50 minutes ago lmao
Or just dont use one and let your screen turn itself off instead. Should be even better
EJ Tech B. B b. Bb. B.
Forums bra
EJ Tech Why have a Screensaver on it, for battery purpose or something else???
1.3k US dollars.... :/
I mean what did I expect anyway...
2k is the one linus has
thats not bad actually.
Zchannel0923 thats not bad at all specially including the monitor price last i check a 6700k with a motherboard and 16gb ddr4 ram cost around 600-800$ 960 6gb 280$ and a m.2 512gb is 100$
Its not bad, but as someone who bought a gaming laptop once, the main issue is your gpu becomes irrelevant very very fast, and cant upgrade (a large box accessory doesnt count). So a similar desktop would be able to survive with $500 upgrades every two years, while the laptop would be pretty bad in year 3-4
ac3ofspades878 How does an external graphics processor not count as a valid way to upgrade?
I like the upgradability. Finally a Laptop that isn't packed tightly af and you can easily customize.
In 2022 this is really good still, with the upgradable components and a egpu port makes it still viable in 2022, I still use this as my daily driver and it works great!

Hey squad
Yoooooo
Henry Bex that's lit fam

Yeah I guess lol
The bezels on that latop looks like something out of 1994.
Holy shit that Alienware looks like one of those old school laptops with Pentium 4 inside of them with shit tons of vents and I/O ports scattered everywhere.
better than just one kind of port,
better than anything with the bitten apple on it
Adam Abraham Even four ports of those are considered annoying in this day and age of uncompleted transition to USB C.
ashish paralkar That moment when that bitten Apple machine with the backlit logo lasted longer than that Alienware without a power cord. After all, women likes stuff that last longer, if you know what I mean :P
Jeremy Lai apple and lasting longer in the same sentence 😂😂 that's an hilarious concept.
and I/O being annoying? that statement is completely stupid.
SD card access for PI / Mobile / Android TV storage?
headphones for the NORMAL people who use 3.5mm
USB for simple USB peripherals?
LAN Jack's for wired networking for lowest latency?
what i/o are you considering 'annoying' as that just sounds stupid.
***** take a chill pill and reread my comment. I was talking about the four ports of USB C from the new MacBook Pro. As I said, we're still in a transitional period from various I/O standards to a unified standard which is USB C, and it's annoying for NOW as we require lots of dongles/adapters UNTIL manufacturers finally adopts USB C and gives out a shitload of adapters just like the good old days. The only benefit USB C can give me now is display/charging capabilities, but then again that requires me to get a new monitor/projector with that capability.
when a 13 inch laptop is more powerfull then your gaming pc🙂🔫
Lemme just pull this $1,400 out of my butt...
$1,400.00 is pocket change... not butt change... too many bills to put in your butt
Bustin Justin it's $999 on the dell website
Here in germany the 2gb gtx 1050 model costs 1400€
Bustin Justin Here in Canada it's 2300$
Manuel Auer Base model 1400€..
Now I want to see how Razer Core performs on Alienware 13 using the Thunderbolt 3.
saying u dont game anymore breaks my heart
can we just talk about the fact that the beginning model of this laptop has a 768 resolution display :/
Willem Preston its a disgrace that those are still being manufactured in 2016. the budget laptop industry is holding us back man
For a budget laptop, 768p is enough. It's unfair to assume that they are holding back the high-end ones.
you have to remember that the entry one, is one of the cheapest laptops with a 1060(at least here), and that on a display that small, it should be workable, but not preferably.
Gotta love Tunnel Bear's bear drawings/icons. Cute
0:05 "SOMETHING" I just love how your voice goes insanely high here
that OLED is too small tho
They buy a bigger version
then
If Alienware can add an OLED touch display option to the 15 inch model I'll probably pick it up over the Razer Blade. I love the rear I/O port design of the new Alienwares and the good thermal performance/low noise. My biggest issue with the Razer Blade is the placement of the Thunderbolt port on the left side. As a left handed user that placement seriously interferes with the use of a wired mouse. Another good thing about the 15"/17 Laptops is that they include a 240w power brick with the 1070 models, unlike Razer which ships a 160w adaptor with the Razer Blade that is so close to maxing out that draw that it gets extremely hot and may have a reduced life span/start a fire. I love the 2016 Razer Blade's design, but the Noise/Heat combined with the hostility to lefties is too much of a trade off for the increased portability/battery life.
The face he made when he said "The RGB lightning" is just amazing.
PS. 3:40
When he does that I get a feeling In my stomach-area. (it covers a large area)
Is it satisfaction? Love? Or just a mix of both?
Anyone know what kind of music they used for that sequence lol
Linus's segue into the tunnel bear sponsor..lmfao. Watching him improvise is life.
The light up touch has been on Alienware laptops for like 2 years lol, lol Linus
theres a reason for the added heft and cost of an alienware laptop
durability
i tripped over while carrying my alienware 14 2015 model (i was stupidly watching a video while going from my yard to inside my house) and it hit the (concrete) floor very hard and i landed on top of it
the only damage was to the HDD (head crash destroyed the drive as expected) and the chassis is slightly bent upward on the rear left corner (you cant see it unless you are looking for it) even the screen and hinge didnt break (which surprised me the most)
all i had to do was buy an SSD install windows and i was up and running again
i did take it to the repair shop to see if anything was damaged and it got a clean bill of health
even the store owner was surprised that nothing else was damaged when i described the drop
i cant see any other laptop (apart from military grade) surviving that sort of impact without needing a trip to the local PC repair shop
i just wish they would improve the battery life (you need at least a 12 cell battery to get any useful gaming time out of one)
with a brand new battery i am lucky to get 40 min of crysis 3 out of mine on minimum settings and low brightness
in power saving mode with minimum screen brightness and RGB lighting off i cant even get through 1 movie without the battery dying on me 3/4 of the way through
it also suffers from severe overheating (even before i dropped it) with core temps of 50C at idle and 80C in crysis 3
I had an Alienware laptop and the day the warranty expired I couldn't control my bios firmware unless given a code which required 250 bucks
yeah i had a buddy that got an alienware laptop for christmas. he ended up replacing the mobo twice and once the warranty ended his mobo failed again. now he has a brick. this could be just a special case but leaves a bitter taste and me to question anytime i consider an alienware product.
i have AW laptop that worked and is still working like a charm for 3 years. Never had to use their technical support.
I got a R1 Alienware m17x its like 6 years old still running strong, i just replaced the fans
Still has more ports than Macbook 😂😂
Still?
it's overwhelmed with ports
Nice to get your seal of approval Linus. I purchased mine on Monday (QHD, i7, 16GB, 256NVMe), which just so happens to be my first gaming laptop purchase, or any time of gaming machine for that matter.
Yea, I have plans on doing the same at some point in the future, but for now, 256GB should get me by.
Additional Taipei on the left? Dennis must be fucking pumped!
Waiting for people to compare this with the MacBook Pro 😂😂
There's no point because they aren't even in the same league
Why cuz apple sucks and makes overpriced and outdated products
That is like comparing a tractor to a tank. One is for ploughing a field, whilst th other is for war. Neither can do the other's task very well. And no, MacBooks are not overpriced for the optimisation and build quality they offer.
Macbooks are a total ripoff imo. The only good products Apple makes anymore are the iMacs. The 2017 model is honestly impressive.
agreed an imac is worth less with better specs than a mbp can offer
Alienware kinda got it right !🤔
13 inch laptops in 2016 LUL
Ha, beat my 12.1 inch laptop!
Ming Lee that size is ideal for most people, like me
Each size has its benefits. Usage is more important than size, unless you are a porn star or you have something like a Digi Pet to use facebook.
Gee I wonder why there aren't many 24" laptops. It's 2016!
17inch 20lb laptop in 2016 kek
That blue mat is a nice touch to the videos. its AESTHETIC AF!
Dandy all around beast. Bought one 2 years ago and would do it all over again.
Dido. I love it. It's built like a tank and that oled panel is so good!.... SO GOOD! The only thing which kind of bothers me are the bezels which look a tad outdated by today's standards.
4k 144hz oled 1ms hdr adaptive sync 100%sRGB. PLEASE
thijmen you got 10 thousand dollars?
But can it run Train Simulator?
Im watching on the older version of this :/
older version is still nice :)
im on the 2015 model alienware 14
And its still working like a beast :) New battery is over $100 though :(
I just picked up my first gaming laptop last week.. I got the Asus ROG G702VM and it compliments my overkill SLI 1080 desktop beautifully.. its rocking a 17.3 inch 1080P Gsync 75 hz display with a i7 6700hq/16gb ddr4/gtx 1060 6gb/256gb m.2 1tb hdd... It is a total beast. So great for travelling, and if I want to head upto bed but still game for a little bit before i goto sleep... Thank god for steam cloud game saves :)
Ha I've got the exact same laptop. It's been great for me so far runs any game in high-very high settings 1080p. People are really jealous at school:P
Color grading edit on this episode is better than the previous, Linus!
3:03 I'm watching this video on that laptop :)
KNO56 are the fans loud when you game?
Alonso Aguirre no
Alonso Aguirre little late
lolitzgarrett The battery isn’t the best but you can get a solid 4-5 hours and if you turn off some processes you can get like an hour more. But I charges faster than I would have expected so it’s not a huge problem for me. It would have way more battery if someone could find a way to turn of the touchscreen for good.
"Gaming experience.....ce" time to sacrifice one of the editors for this unacceptable error
Am I the only guy that used a crt until I was 7 Years old? (2010)
nope, we had a computer with a crt when i was 10 lol
I am using one right now...... well my brother is 9 year olds will use any old shit you give them.
Aw you're so cute. I was 7 in 2002 and was using dial up until 2009
Snarfindorf hi
OMG this is such an upgrade from the R2 that I have, I wish I had waited for this to come out
Dayum, that backlit trackpad is surprisingly awesome!
i still have CRT #FeelsBadMan
I live in Hungary (Europe) tho
your watching this video on a crt? Damn!
yep. 1280x1024 60Hz D-SUB(VGA) 15"
Belinea 10 30 22 monitor
***** Woah, that's sad! Hopefully you'll be able to get a better monitor soon :)
i hope.
but im planning a pc upgrade first :D
im using this monitor from 2005 :D
Why is everyone saying that this laptop is shitty, bruh i have a laptop that is shitty but i love it
Alienware? I haven't checked yet, but I'm gonna guess this costs ~$1200
Larry more like 2.5k
not even close
The usual price of the one he has is $1818...thats not even Canadian.
Starts at 1300 USD or so. Close enough.
$1250 starting price.
Look at dell website.
I love how in-depth your reviews are.
Ah, the good ol' Linus *Arm swoosh, finger snap and point*... wouldn't be a LTT video without it.
Why are there no OLED monitors?
Jehan Kateli expensive
Jehan Kateli burn-in
Did you use the Caterpillar S60 to take the thermal shots?

Hey Linus, do you have any plans on doing the Alienware 15 R3 review? :D
are you on crack. He replyed
He digressed... JAYZTWOCENTS PLAGURISM
Grats on all the new gear you used to make this video!
Good to see Alienware! Hope you guys check out some of their future stuff down the road.
I never noticed how gross linus's hands are. Like a 80 year old with leprosy
Phil Gali not his hands
Is the conversion from grams to kilograms a mistake or an elaborate way to offend people from US? :D
Fuck alienware, last month, i wanted to buy an alienware 51 but they didn't accepted payment with lungs
Did you try kidneys?
did you try liver?
Lol so smart bet you built ur own desktop and watch Rick and Morty.
Seriously though I need a small laptop I can take on the road with me because I'm home only about half the year. So since Alienware is so over priced can you help me find the cheaper brand of 13" laptop with the same specs? Please
I bought my Alienware 17 R4 and love it. Plus, with the rewards coupon I was able to get the Alienware Graphics Amplifier for $20. Laptop was expensive AF and would still recommend getting a desktop over a laptop any day but I'm still super happy with it.
After so many laptop reviews. Linus finally touches the alienware
Damn! What a machine fuckin' love it \m/
I just want a none-tacky version of this. I can't honestly use this at work.
Danny Aldana that's too cheezy aswell. I don't want crazy colours. just give me these specs in a thicker XPS 13 shell and I'm happy.
if you don't want crazy colors just set the keyboard to run flat white? I've got a Razor blade with Dbrand skins (hyperblack titanium) that cover the logo and its very sleek and not cheezy at all (basically looks like a black mackbook).
insertcleverphrasehere the Razer Blade 14 can only comes with 16gb of ram, otherwise I'd buy it :( The Alienware even with all lights off has this childish future-car look, nothing sleek like the Blade
Yeah im looking for a laptop but i think ill wait. Things im waiting for:
1. Each company to fine tune external gpus.
2. 1070s on the razer blade and maybe oled on the razer blade
3. Future proofing with desktop equivalent/close to it cpus.
I agree with mario i dont want this in your face look about the alienware.
I don't think it's that bad. You can always buy a leather vinyl to wrap it. As for the led lights you can turn it off.
3.2kg? That's the typical weight on an mid-end gaming 17.3" laptop!
Portability is more about weight than size, so being 13.3" but that heavy kind of lose its point..
Portability is def. more about size, as you're keeping the laptop on your back most likely anyway.
Actually it's size then weight..
What is more portable?
A 5 inch phone that weights 500g
Or 10 inch tab that weights 200g?..
A comparison with a phone is not valid, we are talking of probably around 4kg with the power adapters and cables, that it's quite a lot in your bag if you are carrying some other stuff too
.
Both are important, but if there isn't a balance between both, it kinds of kill it portability.
ScientistDog uhm.. you can use touch pad and battery on the go. just saying..
there are many good and popular games that don't need a mouse to play.
I'd don't mind weight as long as it stays at a max of 20kg. Size is definitely more of an issue.
Have you ever tried to lift a 50kg 10" cube (anything really, a box etc) against something 5ft long but only 10kg? I'm certainly taking this to an extreme, but it harder to hold the larger box, simply due to its size.
I'd know the difference, as a own a 17" MSI GT72, a 15" Sony Viao, and a 13" Dell Latitude mini, and even a 10" Dell chromebook.
Although my Viao is lighter than both the chromebook and latitude mini, it's size still puts me off even though since I'm only using it for light tasks 8 time out of 10. If i might be gaming, I'm still going to be getting my Viao 15" as it handles light gaming well even it weighs only a kg less than my msi (mostly due to the fact the viao is metal steel/aluminum build), the viao can actually fit into most bags without me requiring to pick up another bag that is used to carry 17"+ laptops+accessories exclusively and nothing else.
I got my new Alienware 13 R3 Laptop yesterday. I absolutely love. If your budget allows it, GET OLED. ITS AMAZING. the colors are so vibrant and it make you feel like you’re in the game. with a 1060 kabylake quad core processor (and with a RGB Touchpad) this thing packs a punch for a REALLY small device. i love you can take it anywhere. Its worth it
Loved the music during the RGB lighting, i laughed hysterically.
still better than macbook
OLED. Because your display needs an expiration date......
Laptop will be severely outdated before the OLED dies.
your display already has a expiration date the difference is having a good screen for less time(oled) or having a shity screen for more time(lcd) i would prefer the good screen
airbomb34 expiration date, can you clarify because I'm planning on buying this.
The way OLED emits light is by breaking down it's diodes a little bit. They have a shorter life than classical LED displays. OLED is also susceptible to burn-in if you leave images on the screen for long enough.
Jens Mowatt so if I want a laptop that last a long time don't get oled right?
Whoever edited this needs to step up their game. There were multiple parts with noticeable audio clipping (6:29 for example, though there were at least a handful before that too). It hurts a little every time i hear poor audio editing.
The Trollface when he mentioned the RGB Lighting being the important stuff is worth watching the entire video already
Seems like Dell/Alienware really stepped up their game within the last few years, i like how they really value the opinion of LMG and consider that for future product designs.
if i get this laptop, what do I do to remove screen burn in and how do I stop it from degrading over time? (since oled has a short life span)
Dont buy one...
If they make normal looking version without that edgy gamer design and useless rgb touchpad, I will buy one.
Drunk Meerkat I agree. really only thing keeping me from buying one. too many edges.. I don't know if gaming laptops sell well like this but between msi's dragon logo and Alienware signature design how do people not feel embarrassed using these in public...
***** True, but it's owned by Dell and I hope they wont be complete bellends.
Liatin1 Maybe they do since I rarely see gaming laptops in public.
Drunk Meerkat "Bell" xD

So glad you guys made this video, I now own a 15 inch R4 and I was wondering what you guys would think about these new laptops.
They finally color graded the video! :D
why are alienware pcs always so damn ugly?
n0v4 003
Funny joke
back in 2010 they probably had their best laptop design ever, seems it all went downhill from that point really.
i mean seriously.... an Alienware M15x laptop from 2010 could literally be upgraded manually from its old gpu to the latest and greatest mobile GPU that came in a mPCI-e format, i believe that was the GTX970m, i am not sure about the 10th series of mobile gpu's.
you could even upgrade its CPU to the highest in the line of back then which is an intel i7-940mx which is an intel extreme processor (i think it came with i7-720qm).
and to top all of that, the M15x looked freaking cool and even had all of these 9 areas RGB lighting zones like every gaming laptop has today.
seriously, Alienware made their best laptops back in 2010, even the M13x and M17x were both epic.
+HoLDoN4Sec i totally agree about the M15X, it looked dope
But is the display OLED??
Chandler Nelson yeah it is
Andres Carrasco Thanks for clearing that up. :)
no
OLED panels are nice. Too bad it's attached to an alienware.
Laser Lens there older Alienware 18 laptops were amazing, they had great cooling, removable CPU and graphic cards(you could even strip the laptop apart without voiding your warranty), and they were built like tanks! unfortunately now dell/Alienware makes them just like every other thin BGA turdbook.
David wieczkowski Ultrabooks are great
Laser Lens I'm sticking to my Alienware m17x r4 with 120hz screen until the new 17 comes out
burrrn :v
LinusMLGTips if you're into them that's fine, but I'm not about to spend $3000 to $40000 on a gaming ultrabook that was built with ease of manufacturing over user repair, upgrading, and accessibility.
What's the point of making these thin and light gaming notebooks if your going to need something like Alienware's graphic amp anyway for high demand gameplay? Dragging a small laptop plus a large heavy graphic amp is more work then just moving a single beefy laptop with something like dual 1080 graphic cards already inside.
It is a bit silly but I'd love to see linus do a video where he tries to build "The most portable desktop" and gives some "(gaming power)/volume" and usability comparisons to current gaming laptops.
Why the heck haven't we seen OLED in a laptop before??? It seems like a no-brainer.
i want it but without the whole alien face.
u can apply garskin on it tho
The PC gamers "smarter" than everyone: LMAO yeah right fuck Alienware so overpriced. I'll just build my own.
Alienware: but... It's a 13" gaming laptop...
Them: I'll just build my own. Dumbasses buying Alienware.
Alienware: but what if someone wants 13 inch mobility?
Them: just build a desktop tbh smh Alienware so overpriced.
Alienware: but it's cheaper for similar specs than the razr...
Them: gawd razr and Alienware so dumb just build your own desktop
tomdoc1014 u ghei lemme ask u can u bring ur desktop wherever u want. It seems like u dun watch rick and morty. Tsk tsk
lol, the desktop is going to need a little buddy to make sure you dont feel like your being slowed down :)
You are all toxic people
and cheap... don't forget cheap...
Khpro Gaming this problem can be easily solved with a cheap laptop(chromebook, or something like that) for remote access.
Why has it got to be so ugly though.
J Hughes look at ur profile pic, its the same thing
J Hughes I know, they are the most vile designs
alienware laptops are not designed to look like a macbook
they have a certain aesthetic that i happen to like
but they are tough as nails in terms of durability (well mine is anyway)
Your profile pic fits your comment so well
I own one and it looks great with leds turned off. Once you see it in person the black and aluminium contrast of the design looks awesome.
i am really impressed with this laptop, but if i'm going to get a laptop that is SPECIFICALLY for gaming and video editing/heavy work load tasks, i want at least a 15" screen, preferably a 17".
really great to see this offering on the market rn though!
I own this laptop with the standard display, and it's still great even without OLED. I think the keyboard is fantastic.
It isn't a laptop if you can't rest it comfortably on your lap . . .
Eww Alienware
Finally a video from LTT I'm interested in watching.
a better way to test response time is to attach an led to one of the mouse buttons and have it light up when the button is pressed so you can get it as close as possible to the real response time.
FINALLY!!! Brandon was teasing this for. Way. Too. Long.
