Alienware X16 vs Legion 9i with RTX 4090 | Flagship Battle!

The Lenovo Legion 9i can easily become the source of envy for your gaming comrades, albeit at a steep price. With this new snobby family member, there is no doubt, Legion has certainly remedied the issue of its previous flagship, the Legion 7, being stripped of many sought after features this year in 2023 (biometrics, screen, build, RGB etc.) It stands out in that crowded room of gaming laptop offerings, vying for your hard-earned cash. If I could…I would have screwed this laptop together myself in Lenovo's factory just so that I could get my hands on the Legion 9i sooner for this review.
Its got it all, fancy, looks, fancy hardware, fancy dimensions, everything. Feels like a product that is probably a result of collaboration between the dreamers and the engineers. It felt like something I would sell my other stuff for without a second thought, and instead, I was greeted with open arms by buyers' remorse. It is easy to suffer from that condition at this price tag, but extreme products can often command extreme price tags.
I thought it was going rewrite the playbook on portable laptop gaming with the industry's first, integrated liquid cooling solution, but as many are finding out now, it appears to not have a substantial impact on the actual performance of the device. But still does 4k HDR gaming justice!
In order to keep myself true and evaluate how good the 9i really is, I have compared it to the Alienware X16 which I think is the closest competitor in this thin and powerful gaming laptop space. Both pull cold air from the top of the keyboard deck and both support 175W TGP, both are the best offered by Lenovo and Dell. Does the Legion 9i have what it takes to be considered as one of the best gaming laptops of 2023 as the year comes to a close? Will be great to hear your comments
