    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.

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.

    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. 😁

      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.

      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 :)

    • @kreeplx
      @kreeplx 9 месяцев назад

      @@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.

      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.
