Thanks LTT, glad you enjoyed it! I’ve been hired to be their Director of Technology.
I’m currently exploring other thermal alternatives for our customers. Everything that was said in this video is 100% accurate 🙏
Congrats! Hopefully you can bring some great insight to the hardware!
Eyyy there you are, Bob. Are these still on the tongfang chassis? I have a 2070 mech17 and it still keeps up well for most games.
POGGERS
For the specs its packing and the launch price, I would have been so tempted to buy the 3070 model if I hadn't bought a desktop a already. Nice value.
Congratulations Bob on building a prominent machine and for appearing on an LTT video! It is quite an impressive journey for your channel! I am appreciating the unique naming of the laptop!
Feels a tad rude to call it a knockoff when evidently there is design, skill and commitment in this.
It’s obviously a knockoff
There is ZERO design in it... it's a shit HP laptop with a different case. Just trash.
Its a good knockoff tho
@@idontthinkso6172 You dont know about gaming latops to call this a knock off. Many latops follow this design because its best for cooling

Please like and comment, so that people don't think it's still going. FYI that game was hard, totally fit the plan of making it for gamers only.
That game was super hard, I did beat it though which I feel like is an achievement only to spend an hour in queue clicking that AFK box hoping to put in my credit card lol
Wish they could drop something affordable and sensible.
@@iwontliveinfear what was dropped? I didn't get what linus said....
@@hamzaconcepts2846 Msi ventus 3080ti $1900 MSRP
Wait…the VAG is still happening?
On putting the logo on a skin... let's be honest, the cost isn't $20 to them... it likely costs pennies. A custom mold for making a logo for the back plate would cost in the five figure range for the tooling.
I think that's ignoring the fact that they're working with dbrand. They want a slice as well
with that price, i'm at the state when it's not even worth playing gauntlet for fun...
Do it, the gauntlet is a fun minigame
I definitely played the gauntlet for fun. Zero intention to buy a GPU that pricey. Way to rich for my blood.
Would have gotten it but then additional 400$ taxes + shipping got on top of that, so I just noped out
@@jethroroy What's the link? I want to play the game
Listen to the video again. It's explained very well.
I'm pretty sure it's called the *"Sixteen"* and not X-V-I
Glad I'm not the only one who winced at that.
That is 16 in Roman numerals
Me too
That’s 16 in Roman Numerals
In spanish it would be "Sixteenth" as all roman numerals are read as ordinal, is it the same in english?
It's good to see Eluktronics not going out of their way to make taking it apart near impossible, and even better they worked with Bob to make guides. It's no Framework, but this kind of attitude from a laptop company is refreshing.
“Because of specs on the box like: AMD processor…” glad to see LTT isn’t dumbing things down for us 😂
videos with Alex are usually like this, he is just not a great tech presentor
@@adikeezl6033 Agreed, great guy....but lacks the passion for Spec Details
If you actually watched the video, you'd know he went over all the specs in detail. IMO, just summing up the specs at the beginning of the video has no real added value and is just wasted time
@@Xumatro I did watch the video lol the fact stands that the sentence “specs like Ryzen processor” do not belong in any part of a tech video. Maybe you’re the audience they aimed it at if you think that’s worthwhile content
Guys, he was making fun of the box listing "AMD Processor" as a spec, as they usually have completely useless information like that rather than listing the actual specs.
It seems like ALL of you really did need it dumbed down
In Canada the Prometheus is the same price as the Alienware. $4300 CAD for the 3080 configuration.
In Europe the Prometheus is 300€ cheaper with 1.696,67€ while the Alienware is 1.999€ and also sold out everywhere...
Ltt is in Canada lol
Just go with Alienware don't f around with that amount of money
@@cursetheserpent they appeal to the US audience.
Who would pay that? You could get a 3080 desktop and a decent non-gaming laptop for that money
Whoever made this knockoff is so happy. They just got the best advertisement they could ever ask for. Without it, who would even know let alone consider a knock off.
"Whoever made this knock off..." Bruh you're talking about Eluktronics and probably a tongfang chassis. Tongfang makes laptops for companies like MSI... or used to. Maybe not as much anymore. Still they're well known.
@@Jackofafewtrades lol seriously. Bob Of All Trades even works for them now. Eluktronics has been making decent gaming laptops for quite a while now. I have a mech17 with the 115w 2070. It's a few years old and still holds it's own.
@@Jackofafewtrades Never seen a single product from a company named.... Electronics in broken English. They may be well known online but not in stores. Who cares who made it, what I said is still true. This is big advertisement.
@@Tony-nl6pf How is it a knockoff it’s just another gaming laptop
Tony take your comments with your ignorance and head on out.
Loved this review format and execution, Alex. Nicely done!
Love watching these reviews and comparisons, especially when it comes to comparing the highest priced gaming laptops with lesser known competitors. Would be interested in seeing a review and comparison of Aorus 17g xc. I purchased one a year ago and it is amazing, what was most appealing was their boast of being a competitor of Alienware but being less than half the price.
When the LTT store price with customs tax is more expensive than scalper prices.
Thanks for helping the Canadian gamers though.
What was the link?
I just got a Gigabyte 3080ti for like $1450 on Newegg, came to just over $1550 with sales tax, why didn't I get screwed by the tariffs?
@@-SP. I didn't even understand. I don't even think the GPUs are at msrp
@@andrewslovak1 Newegg already paid for the tariffs because the card, you bought, was already imported into Newegg's US warehouse. LTT's VAG requires you to pay tariffs because you're importing it into the US from LTT's Canadian warehouse. You just got lucky and snagged one of the closer to MSRP models.
@@rebelprime it was MSRP for a 3080 TI, don't confuse it with the slightly lower cost 3080s. That and also don't forget there are cheaper models and lower clocked GPUs out there which have a lower MSRP and still are 3080 TI. This was more for Canadians given the US tariffs talk to Biden about those. But with high demand it's still cheaper than some scalp sources and it's not pre-used. A lot of the scalped ones have failed because they were crypto mining and repackaged sneakily. I'd rather take my chances with Linus and I did, I got one of these GPUs today ^_^!
This is an example of how to make knockoff's actually good.
I uploaded my Face Reveal..
I know right.

@@LightningSquad Damnnnn thats crazy 🤩🤩🤩!! But who asked? 🤨
This is a good example if Alienware wasn't acquired by Dell

"They wanted it to be more individual to them."
*Can't look away from the alien on the box.*
imagine a knock-off dell xps but with ryzen
Would be a lot more difficult, Alienware gives little attempt at making it compact, whereas xps lineup actually requires serious r&d to pull off well.
I do want to see the XPS with ryzen though!
I'd buy it asap
This reminds me of when I imagined a knockoff that was a fusion of ThinkPad Yoga and Framework Laptop.

Did you know Alienwares name was chosen because of the founders' fondness for the hit television series The X-Files, which also inspired the science-fiction themed names of product lines such as Area-51, Hangar 18, and Aurora. In 1997, it changed its name to Alienware. :)
Didn't know, didn't care, still don't.
That is pretty neat, thanks for the info!
@@DxBlack You care enough to comment...
@@Lord_Reset No problem! :D
Thats neat
2:26 the fans are shaped eerily similar to how the Founders Edition of the 30 series GPU's look like.
Please don't buy this, I bought one and had multiple issues in the first 3 days of ownership. On arrival the wifi would randomly disconnect (fixed with updated driver), then the laptop started restarting randomly, then the control software stopped working and crashed when opened, then the computer started acting as if keys pressed were being held down.
I actually had the keys pressed down until I contacted it and found out it was due to the way it was shipped to me, it got damage by the delivery guys in such a carefree manner. They got it fixed and so far, after a few days, I had no issue. The only problem I encountered is probably having to update the wi-fi, but other than that, it's surprisingly sharp.
And not getting asked for extended warranty over and over 5 times is also a plus!
My extended warranty worked out. So I'm a fan.
Or financing.
Ok that verified actual gamer challenge was pretty fun and i actually reached the check out page. I don't need a 3080ti as i already have a 3080 but congratulations to everyone who wanted and was able to buy.
@@idkanymore3382 want screenshots of the contest or pictures of my rig? id be happy to send them to you. 🙂
@@idkanymore3382 I did get the MSI 3080 TI from this verified gamer program. Took figuring out the URL, winning the mini game, waiting 2 hours in line clicking the AFK meter for the reserve. Then 6~ mins to fill out the billing and shipping info. Wonderful experience and cheaper than any other method. I got into it 20 mins after the video released, so I had an advantage there.
I bought on of the 17 inch Elutronics with the 3080 and it's fantastic. My only complaint is that the keyboard/keys could be a bit more rigid and that if you order the sticker they shoud install for you. I bought it expecting it to be on. Great value though
Nice video, tks. I liked the part about memories its density and the impact in performance. I think it is a point very important and it is dificult to find this information in product label that reviwers should put more time analysing this issue.
Whoever designed the VAG game clearly didn't get the memo. Linus is short! he's too tall to make these jumps!
i did it!!!! the end is finally in sight! i figured out the URL, beat the rage inducing mini game, and waited in the queue...but then i remembered I have a net worth of like $500. F
F 😁, maybe in the future, you'll have better luck.
I am at max in the market for a 600$ GPU, currently rocking a RX 580 (got it for 200€ in 2019, I believe).
So even if I would have been recent enough, 2k is way over my budget as well.
Better than most people who end up with negative net worth due to debt

That unashamed plug for the deskpad although it suffocated the laptop is just brilliant!

The Prometheus 16 looks like it has relatively large spacings between the keys. I have a HP laptop with keys further apart from each other and I sometimes press in between the keys, resulting in no keys being pressed. But that can also be because it's been awhile since I used it and I'm kinda terrible at typing, I press 2 keys often when typing on my mechanical keyboard soooo

Thank you for the honest review. I have one of Eluktronics laptops. The fans are loud, but it keeps the temp in the mid 80's when gaming.
Alex that was such a good and entertaining video! Nicely done!
For Cinebench: set the process priority to Realtime from the tast manager. It'll lock the screen, don't worry after the run it'll go back. This way you'll get more consistent results and even more points.
16:10 aspect ratio + 165Hz screen + AMD = perfect
They didn't even put it in the performance mode :D , Legion 7 beats both laptops overall.
@@8Harbinger8 Yes, but Legion 7 is a lot more expensive. Having that total package for this price is preferable to most buyers.
Although they won't see performance boost from applying liquid metal, over time the termal paste will dry out and cause performance drop, whereas liquid metal is considered to not dry out, hence you won't worry about changing it in the long run
Hey LTT, could you share the awesome breaks track for the BGM that starts around 11:20? So sick!
The SSD looks like the ones HP is using. No controller or DRAM cache. Such a shame, especially on these more expensive laptops. These are a ticking time bomb for when the SSD will brick itself. Usually in the 1.5-2 year range. Kinda sad that LTT didn't notice or chose to ignore it.
They aren't even charging you for that SSD, it's just that they're obligated to provide you with something at all. I mean, I recently bought an HP 16 series and the SSD is one of the cheapest 32/480 Optane units, but it was so cheap I didn't really bother to care. For a couple more bucks I can keep a backup SSD and build a massive laptop.
@@TuxraGamer I've replaced 8 of them already for people in my town, and I just do it on the side. I can't imagine how many their actually are. "Aren't even charging you for it" are you for real???? Yes, they charge you for it. The fact that you would defend a company practice like this is sickening. Most people buying computers are not knowledgeable about the inner workings of the parts. Then get scared they have a dead laptop. 7 of the 8 repairs I did the customer didn't have any backup in place for some of the data they lost. How would you feel loosing precious photos or even worse a university dissertation that you have spent months working on to just be gone. Your response deserves zero points.
@@olandersnake I got my laptop for a really low cost, I'm not defending them, but it's not that bad. It's usable, and it works. If you buy a gaming machine, you're supposed to be using your brain while looking for the right one, since practically everyone will be trying to scam you with shiny lights and RGB everywhere.
@@olandersnake Oh and also, don't put your photos on SSDs, that's the whole morale of the story + always keep extra backups if you really do care. You don't have to be extremely tech savvy in order to understand that keeping backups is a good idea. A de-synced encryption key on *ANY* SSD will make your data disappear like nothing.
@@TuxraGamer unfortunately most big box stores either don't push or don't have the knowledge of having backups. It's definitely something that I encourage. For how expensive the laptop in the video is I would expect something at least half decent. I would even be happier if it was one of the cheap Chinese nock offs. They at least have a controller on them.
I was waiting for so long for another drop, that I forgot the gamer program still exists.
Lmfao, why did you blur him touching the laptops together :D.
I like Eluktronics. We've got two of them in the family, and though they're aging, they still perform quite nicely. I've had to replace the keyboard in both. Eluktronics didn't gouge us, and they were easy to replace. Upgraded RAM and nVME drive in both recently. Easy. And neither was full of bloatware when we received.
Lol, $2200 for the verified gamer 3080 ti after tariffs, taxes, and shipping to the USA. It's cheaper to buy off a scalper on eBay.
Many of the 3080TIs out there at that price are the lower MSRP models and many people have complained about scalped or resale 3080,3080 TI and 3090s have died on arrival or shortly after. Suspicion is that most of them are pre-used in crypto mining and were taken out of rotation, sold on eBay or Amazon shops to recoup costs at a profitable amount.
I'd personally trust Linus over a scalper or 2nd hand reseller. Not Linus fault he is in Canada and you're in US. That being said, it was a great offer for Canadians and included other countries given demand is high, stock is low and the market is greasy with DoA pre-used GPUs.
Doing that Verified Actual Gamer on mobile was a mistake. Felt like I was playing Getting Over It lol
More like Flappy birds. The controls on a tablet were really horrible :-/
The VAG program isn't what it used to be since board partners and nVidia (with the 3080 Ti) started participating in the scalping (can't blame them given the mining absurdity). Between the MSRP from nV being $200 too high and MSI asking for another $400 on top of that, they are basically charging what miners are willing to pay for that performance. With the price in the video, I can get a 3080 Ti FE for less on eBay or board partner model from a normal retailer for about the same here in Germany, with much better warranty, not to mention easier support/returns, included. Worse yet, I got a 3090 FE from the official local retailer here at the end of July for less.
Please do a video testing if laptop performance is changed by sitting on a desk pad, and various other surfaces.
Me: He called it a "knock off" it must be cheap. **Checks price**. $1900, oofff 😬
Compared to the Alienware it IS cheap.
$1900 for a 3080 16GB laptop is actually very good. I was tempted years ago by a 1080 laptop for $1800 and that was a discontinued model at the time. So give it a little time, and if this goes on clearance, this is an amazing laptop for the price.
Me: "oh! A graphics card at msrp! Maybe I should try getting one!"
Me, seconds later: "oh... Yeah, that's as much as I'm budgeting for my entire system..."
Good luck to the lucky few!
Wish he was selling 3060s at $400 instead
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone at LTT for all they do and the gamer program!
Was the laptop running in single channel memory mode? What was the speed of the ram.. If you swapped out the ram with 2x fast modules how much performance uplift do you get?

@@gabrielschirmbeck400 is it Linus personally invest in Framework instead of LMG? That's why Linus won't review laptops anymore, but everyone else at LMG can
so there is this weird thing going on where my wifi loads LTT videos really fast on 1080p and i cant even watch a video from another channel in 480p XD
I feel like it'd be cool to see a current gen vs older laptop comparison vid of relative performance vs the size of the cooling solution/chassis. I just keep remembering the chonky bois from the yesteryear that would have this class of performance.
Dell: I won’t use AMD
Knockoff Chinese brands: Fine, ill do it myself

When i ordered my x17 r1 they had higher speed ram as an option so its there but yeah likely limited supply or it could increase lead times on your build.
I think "experiencing a laptop" is the best review you can make. Thanks for the insights.
We live in a time were 90fps at 4k Max settings is "disappointing"
Also, they still failed to realize the Alienware also has a mux switch that's disabled in bios by default. That said, its already technically faster than this one, but for the price, this one isn't no slouch
Yeah technology is getting better its been like that for a while. People that gamed for longer were probably surprised when games were at higher fps than like 5-10
They do know it was mentioned in a comment under the dell review before this video came out
It's so weird not seeing Linus do these reviews anymore. But really refreshing.
SO MUCH camera bounce!
Please include display testing too, to really know how much of the sRGB and AdobeRGB can cover
The fact that Linus did not appear just at the beginning is part of the strategy of LTT to mantain credibility knowing that Linus is an investor on laptops market.
I like what you do and your compromise with objectivity on your reviews. Nice move.
ah yes, its back
im too bad at the game though and i dont have a computer thats even capable of powering that amount of power
yes, no matter what computer I have, im still bad at the end of the day also haha
I beat the game twice lol
@@grenade180 the computer I have rn is Athlon 64 X2 based (my laptop is far better, Core i5-9300H based but no Thunderbold support)
QUAD HD❤ Would be good to know it's colour accuracy though
8:53 what are the chances of the video messing up right as Alex says "Display" hahaha
Anthony should've hosted
Glad certified gamer is back, but the price on those 3080 Ti's (or was that CAD?) is just too high.
i love how im watching a video about this knockoff alienware on the exact same laptop thats in the video
They added a mux switch for the 4k panel btw
".. segway to our sponsor.." *tap tap* "[electronic upbeat music]"

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO
U first
lmao the only person who was actually first didnt say "First!"

Mom: we have Alienware at home Alienware at home:
Enjoyed the simpler presentation more. For me the lack of branding, 16:10 screen, numpad keyboard and specs would make it a very tempting purchase if I needed a new laptop. Not really happy with the look of the keyboard (especially the marked asdw keys) but can easily overlook for functionality. It is a shame about the battery size, although the larger motherboard is probably why we have easy access to both NVMe slots on the bottom.
Why the hell are there black bars in the video
"I was talking to the CEO, and he really likes this laptop" Good to know
My man's double cheeked up on Tuesday afternoon
I have an Alienware Area 51m R2. And I love it. It's a bad ass laptop. It's super quiet. And If literally anything goes wrong with it I can replace it. I'm happy with my Alienware. I get the price tag is high. But they're worth it.
