      Not just laptops. Almost all electronics are more expensive in Europe than America. I think it is mostly a marketing scheme rather than "justing for the market." It could also be when you buy certain electronics they are currently here in the U.S. the. Needs to be shipped so they are adjusting for the cost

    I got a very bad experience with Alienware. Make sure your Alienware M16 does not get stuttered when watching youTube videos. So just check it carefully!! Especially with mute and unmute button may cause video stuttering. I think the problem is from the mainboard.

    Hello, I'm currently a Lenovo user, I have a Legion 5i Core i7 10th gen, 16 gb ram, Nvidia RTX 2060; bought on 2021 and I want to change my laptop, mostly because I had an issue when whenever I close my laptop and open it again, it's like it just get in a dark screen and doesn't respond and I have to keep pressing the on button to reset it, is so stressful. And I am looking for this alienware m16 r2 and the asus rog strix g16, I'm open to suggestions.

    Thanks for the review, I recently purchased this laptop due to the build quality is amazing, the 300 nits does not bother me as much because for the most part I am using this inside and not outside. IMO you cannot see a difference between this and a laptop that offers a 400nits+.

      While on work mode, when I switch off to stealth mode it's quiet and believe it or not not warm at all. In my opinion this far the most overall amazing gaming/work PC.

    The M16 is more comparable to the Yoga Pro 9i in terms of specs, IMO. But on a side note, from your experience, does an upgrade from the RTX 4060 to RTX 4070 result in a significant performance increase in Blender and Resolve if everything else is identical? Also, is i9 really need? Or will i7 suffice for most use cases?

    • @ejcubing3622
      @ejcubing3622 Před 3 měsíci +1

      i7 is enough for most if not all use cases, upgrading to i9 would only be incremental at best, on the other hand 4060 to 4070 would be rather noticeable around 20-30% performance increase

    I hope you to help me to make the right choice before i get my new laptop For content creation, 3D softwares (3dsmax and heavy renderer like Lumion and Unreal Engine) and some gaming for aure .
    There is 4 options that I'm consider about :
    1 - Legion 5 15ach6h (Ryzen 7 5800h /RTX 3070 /FHD 165Hz)... For 1200$
    2 - *Amazon renewed*Aorus 17(Core i7 12700h "DDR4" /RTX 3070Ti /FHD 360Hz)... For 1100$
    3- ROG strix G15 Advantage edition (Ryzen 9 5980hx /Rx 6800m / WQHD 165Hz)... For 1200 $
    4- Triton 300 SE 14 (Core i7 12700h "DDR5" / RTX 3060/ WUXGA 165Hz)... FOR 1050$
    I'm in Dubai and those the best options i found at this price.
