Sooo Loved this review!! This is all I needed to understand my purchase, so great, thank you!! :D
Oh man good to have you back. You’re the only with real consumer reviews. Thank you
I appreciate that!
Dude your reviews are hilarious 🤣 but you get the info out. Keep it up!
Thanks! Will do!
Missed your videos, glad your back!
Great video. Love the humor! Subscibed
Great real world review and you’re very funny too. Thank you
I love this review bro. Keep it up💯
Just found my new favorite reviewer! Man you’re funny. Btw my m16 did not have that weird fan noise, so definitely something wrong with that one.
Thanks for the sub!
Great review 😎
I tried it and had to return it too. For me it was how bad it was cooking my mouse hand on the right. That whole right side vent was just blasting heat on my hand and I don’t need to feel like I’m in literal hellfire when I’m playing Diablo 🔥
Helpful video! Im in the process of buying my first ever gaming laptop and Alienware has always been an aspirational brand to me as I always wanted one. One of my biggest concerns is excessive fan-noise and a hot as hell laptop! Esp since I primarily play in bed on a laptop tray. I mostly play RTS games and read that this M16 and the X16 are optimized for great performance in quiet mode. Seems to me tho that even quiet mode is going to have a lot of fan-noise. My top two candidates was either the X16 or the Blade 16 both with 4080's. I could get a hell of a deal on an X16 but it sounds like I would possibly get much more of what I'm looking for with the Blade 16! Or maybe not I can't decide lol.
enjoyed the humour including dad-level jokes. good spec to review, one I'm considering as
Wish I could afford one of these. Good review.
I got the M18 version and I just love it! It's a definite upgrade from my 17 inch HP.
What you think about thw m18? You take it with you where you go or you use it as desktop replacement? Thinking on getting the m18 but I'm told is too heavy to Cary around
@Angel Anguiano It's just a desktop replacement, but I do take it with me when I go on vacations. I always get compliments when I bring it with me. Just love my new Alienwarem18 laptop!
@June Bug Nooice!! Yea think I will get it. But I will take it where ever I go. Code on the go. Think bigger screen be better. Be nice if they had the 240hz option like they do on m16.. I have the x17 r2 but once I get it will sell it..I have an Alienware R15 so I will use the m18 as my portable device . I know the screen is 300 nits so not sure if it's as good as the 500 nit 4k display on x17.
I just got mine, but mine does make a slight whistling high pitch sound when the fans ramp up, is it the same with yours?
I got the M16 on the release day its just amazing after all the updates, how it manages to be as quiet as it is and keeping temperatures under de 80s, I can barely hear the fans, I'm actually able to play non FPS games without headphones
How’s it going now days? Still kicking fine?
trivial correction- the usb ports on the back are usb4 (thunderbolt 4). Thanks for the great work
I have the m18 and it’s doing great, no noise like that.
“They shipped this to me in a brown paper bag like I just got it from the liquor store.”
BWHAHAHAHA!!!
I got an Area51m three years ago, paid 5k for it, and when it showed up on my porch wrapped in brown paper I thought the same thing. Great simile!
FYI: I’m older, and I think it’s funny when you youngsters complain about the weight of new gaming systems. I had an Alienware M17x in 2010 that weighed almost 12 POUNDS-without the power brick!!! These new systems clock in at 6-7 pounds. They’re literally half as heavy.
So, count your blessings. 😁
Honestly I had that same exact thing and today when I want to complain I think about those days I didn’t once even consider the weight but today it’s fucked my brain up
But it is not 2010 anymore, is it? If other competitive brands can provide laptops with similar specs and similar price point with less weight, it is a valid criticism. Might not be a deal-breaker for most, but a valid criticism nonetheless.
All while being EASILY 10X more powerful than the old school gaming laptops
@@uddaloknag1751true but this Alienware is likely going to have higher TDP for the CPU and tgp for the CPU then other thin and light options.
The power brick looks so cheap its insane, it looks like something that belongs on a 2000s PC not a 2023 PC
Just got a laptop over cyber monday sale. Was hoping for the smaller power brick but they sent the big old one. Gonna do my best to exchange. Fingers crossed.
You’re right, wtf !! … I have just ordered an m16, I live in Italy and on the official Dell website they have written 'small factor adapter', I hope so 😅
If the laptop wasn't so badass, I'd return it because of the brick. But I the laptop itself even the tank weight.
@@ortommy my m16 i9 13900hz rtx 4090 is a beast too. Def not comparable to a desktop with the same components but still the most powerful laptop you can get.
@@they_arent_humanwhat about legion 7i
"This thing been to McDonald's too many times" 😂😂
Just got me the "4090" version. Can't wait to get it.
how is it? im buying it next week
@@nruxx5920 get ready to have your hand burned hahaha. They placed an exhaust fan on the right side where u usually place your mouse. It will get uncomfortable and I’ve gotten my hand numb by that several times. But other than that it performs very well
Congrats! GOD bless!
Mine does the same thing, I think it is the new fan blade design, I tried them with compressed air only and it makes the same noise.
*Make sure you tweak the settings on these laptops as they are not at 100% out of the box. MUX Switch and Ram(16gb) is the biggest problem other than that mines been blazing through anything I throw at it since release date.*
Man I have been on a mission as well, returned many devices searching. My new razer blade 16 base model 2023 edition, I hope that may be my answers. My macbook 14 is good, but it just doesn't support gaming so I will be returning it. I wish windows had a apple like machine that doesn't sound like it's going to fly away, tough in a gaming laptop lol
I just picked up the the same unit with the 4090 and upgraded CherryMX. Did you ever get another one, was the fan still making the same noise?
The fan is definitely a one off. My buddy’s same model doesn’t have that. Sounds like dried bearings or something lol
Mine makes the same noise, its the fan blade design.
@@drewdegeer4432no
Can’t find any videos covering the 4090 variant anywhere :/
Why does the laptop need a big adapter? Will my Apple 40W fast charger work?
Sick. Is it too thick to comfortably type on and use the trackpad?
Thanks for the excellent video, Shawn. Did Alienware accept your return based on fan noise alone? Thanks.
Yes. Dell is very good at returns. It took me promoting the after they received it, but they responded quickly and got it resolved.
I didn't have the fan issue, but I did have constant video scheduler bluescreens. I ended up getting a Acer Predator Helios 16 with the 4080 with the HX processor and for a little less and it's been good.
Hey mate , i was thinking to purchase either Alienware M16 , strix G16 or Helios 16
With i9 and rtx 4080.
And i heard that the build on asus is not good and Helios is having a big blooming problem and build is also not solid ...
And M16 is too heavy
So could you tell me your experience with the Helios 16 and the M16 ? And what would you suggest?
It would mean a lot
Thanks :)
@@shanmukhsrikar I had the Alienware X16 R1 (metal one) and really liked it. It didn't feel too heavy, and I really liked the touchpad and Windows hello login. I played some games on it with a laptop portable desk and no cooler, and it clearly got some sort of thermal damage that caused blue screens on a regular basis after a week. I thought it was doing a good job with air flow, but I guess not good enough. I had to ship it back. I almost ordered the same thing and felt I got a defective unit.
My nephew works at Amazon and recommended the Acer Predator Helios series. Compared to the Alienware, the screen is definetely better and supports HDR for videos and gaming (colors look washed out for non-HDR content, so I mostly leave it off). Touchpad is not as cool and the Hello login isn't there. I do like the Acer control center and performance modes better.
The audio on both laptops are terrible, and I'd say ever worse on the Acer because the speakers are underneath. The blooming issues were more prevalent on the Alienware than the Helios. Another complaint I would say is the Optimus dual GPU jittering on both, which you can disable the Intel one completely in the Acer BIOS (did not see in the Dell BIOS). I liked the power plug better on the Alienware more and had to rig up a strap for the Acer because of how easy it falls out on a moveable laptop desk tray. Driver updates easier on the Acer, and with a up to date BIOS, the CPU doesn't hit 100C anymore like the Dell did constantly.
I'd say ... if you want a better screen, go with the Acer. At 100% it is almost blinding in a dark room. The other perks I like were related to the X1 only, minus the better processor the Acer has. If I could get that Acer screen on the Alienware X1 with the better processor, that would actually be what I want. I did save $500 on the Acer too, so there is that.
good ass review, gonna buy one for sure
Same here with amd cpu
@@angelanguiano4338did you end up getting the amd one? If so how are you liking it?
The power adaptor is as huge as shit. Dell really need to learn how to make that big ass power break to a small one that will fit into bags.
I did not have the fan issue that you did, and I’ve tried several iterations of this specific model, both with the 4080 and 4090. Fans do get loud though
Hello, Do you mind giving me ur opinion on the rtx 4090 version, im looking at the r9 7945 with rtx 4090, id appreciate your input.thanks in advance
Thats definitely a bad fan, iv'e had mine for about 2 weeks and it does not have that "gurgling" sound
Do u advice with this m16 r1 ?
Is this having better cooling than m15 r7
I have the m18 that just came out. Mine doesn't soundike that
My last x17 was refunded 7 times. Now I have GT77...👍
i got a 17 r2 32gb 3080ti love it.
Dell gives every other region the slim powerbrick but the United States with the M series. Makes it seem less premium.
how to use xbox game pass that i got after purchasing m16 r1
That only fans joke was funny. Thanks for the review, Shawn. I think I might just not get it. And yeah, I agree, that brown paper packaging was really ghetto.
You definitely had a defective fan. Mine doesn't sound anything like that. The fan noise is actually quite respectable compared to my Zephyrus M16.
I'm super keen to pick up its bigger brother - the m18. The only reason im waiting for reviews is because I can't stand super loud fans and I want to hear what the m18 fans are like. Hopefully your fans aren't indicative of all the new Alienware laptops.
I’ll have that on in order soon to compare.
There’s so many M18 reviews but there’s only a couple M16 reviews. And none with the 4090 I ordered 😢 Guess I’ll have to make one myself when it arrives in 2 weeks 😂
Nice review thanks and glad to see you back I like you have the military discount and am waiting on the M18 to arrive one question I have is on the return policy how easy is it just in case my unit is not too my liking thanks again for the review
Extremely easy; especially if you have a Dell online account, which is free. Hit the return button, select the reason, and click submit. They'll send you a label within a day or so. 100% money back unless you skipped the free shipping and paid extra for one day express. Then that would be deducted.
@@ProTechShawn Thanks
Good video or is it my impression but in the video at minute 8:50 you can see how the aluminum part is separated from the keyboard part that is a manufacturing defect, I don't know if I'm wrong
No, I just didn't snap it down when I was putting the bottom cover back on. It was my fault.
@@ProTechShawn Thanks
@@ProTechShawn Do you know if this M16 model comes amd version
Not sure. I haven’t seen any listed for sale……yet.
they have fx keyboard and fx rgb keyboard which is the one you like?
RGB. Quality is a tad bit better.
why would it matter if its heavy ? I use my laptops on my desk im not carrying it to the moon ...... lol
When review of laptop HP OMEN 16 Transcend 2023
I just purchased the m16 r2. hopefully it serves me well 1600 buckaroos!
What specs did you get?
LOL! and I thought my fans were loud bro. I think the chirp is made that way to be different or unique but definitely a No fro me, I don't like Dell products in general.
please do asus scar strix scar 16
I sinCEREly hope mine doesn't turn up like that.
battery life?
Does it matter?
Shit I like IG models too nothing wrong with it.
Big and very expensive heater.
How come you all have this indeed chunky and ugly power brick? I got mine shipped with a much smaller, thinner and better looking power connector (Alienware branded)
🤦🏼♂️ Just because of package you are disappointed 😂
Dolby Atmos is software to enhance your sound. Use headphones you get Dolby Atmos sound quality! nobody is using trash laptop speakers.
You wanna sell me those stickers?
figure when he says PAWSE, he wants us to meditate & marinate on the imaginary gayness of what he keeps slippin up & sayin 🧘🏾♂️ 😂👍🏾 UNPAWSE
