Usually aliens abduct us, this time Dawid abducted one back.

Oh god the price for the laptop is UFO level:
Ultimate
Financial
Oopsie
as far as 14" gaming laptop prices go, and canadian gaming laptop prices go, its not a bad price
@@CatCatuna I just paid $1000 for a non gaming laptop, so yeah. Not bad at all.
Yea, you can easily find way better ones with 4060's for cheaper or about the same with way better cooling etc.
@@SimplyTheSloth omen transcend 14 and legion slim 5 tend to be more expensive outside of the US
msi's 14" gaming laptops suck
aero 14 is really bad
your only real other option is acer's 14" gaming laptops which are solid but come with a worse display
razer's laptops are extremely expensive
@@CatCatuna I do not recall asking you anything. Cool story bro.
“Role playing as the sunny side of Mercury” lmaooo!
Dawid is hands down the best at his sponsors’ sections. I don’t skip forward. Sign of a master at work.
04:30 also quite open to the ingress of accidental fluids turning the Alien into a quivering mess.
It's gonna be hard to explain what happened to customer support
That mic comparison is the best way to demonstrate the difference sound quality!
I'm having a hard time with my heart man. Today was rough just waking up. You made me laugh within the first ten seconds of the video.
Thank you.
oh, so sorry to hear that. hope you get better!
Hold on, man.
I hope you get better.
1:19 Ah yes **WE'RE GAME.**
Truly a Engrish moment.
Technically a perfectly fine sentence in English, actually. Is it cheesy and kinda dumb here? Sure, probably. But it’s also acceptable English.
Dell is an American company 😂
@@archgirl We're game or We are game isn't the best worded phrase in my eyes.
@@unionofslavstanrepublics2317 That’s fair, but it’s definitely ok English. Like when you ask someone if they wanna try something new and they go “sure, I’m game.” But I can appreciate if it sounds goofy to some.
It's kinda weird to put on a product though. You'd think their marketing line there would be something like 'We're Gaming' as though they're the embodiment of it. But I guess they were going for the 'we are up to it if you are' form. I will admit when Dawid showed it I was a bit confused, it took me a while to think of that turn of phrase.
I actually love the "booties" in Alienware laptops because they look cool.
Just not so much on the 14"
When I heard the price, I started laughing.
Ah, a Dawid video. Where comments go to die
This couldn't have been a true Dawid video as there was no mention of dysentery, gonorrhea, or syphilis. LMAO!
Haha yeah because there was no McAffe on it 😂
Okay the whale sounds got me.
The booty on that laptop just looks weird, the shape doesn't even line up with the rest and it looks even worse due to the color mismatch. All rear IO is awful too, just leads to broken DC jacks due to people not always using them flat on a desk and straining the ports.
That thermal performance is terrible as well, as usual with Dell they've applied power limits that they cannot maintain. EC firmwares are often real sketchy as well, fans not reacting properly to load etc. Sometimes they fix this with updates, sometimes they don't... plenty of Dell BIOS/EC firmwares completely broke CPU C states on many laptops for example.
It's got the same problem I've seen on all laptops with an Intel cpu that shares the cooling system with the GPU. You have to disable the cpu turbo for extended gaming sessions. Or else it will overwhelm the cooling system and bring the whole system to a slower state.
Love some early morning shenanigan’s with Dawid does tech stuff so let’s see what kind of trouble he is upto today.
You owe it to the whales to throw that 100% recycled plastic tray in the ocean.
They deserve to unbox laptops as well
100°C is mad😂
I'm surprised it didn't crash lol😂
they thermal throttle instead
@@KimionTM which is dumb because you run the risk of damaging parts😂
100c is normal for an intel cpu lol. Its a thing since centuries thats why we have the laptop and especially intel memes
@zeronin4696 I don't know what planet you living on my g but a 100°C is not normal for any cpu🚶♂️
Apple Product smell ya the Apple of gaming Laptops.
X14R2 sounds like a Star Wars droid
OR AN 80'S German turbo Ford XR4TI
@@79huddy had to look that one up. That car is a beast! 175 hp from the late 80s! Reminds me of the old Cosworth Escorts.
The Xenomorph head should probably be blurred out, too, in my opinion. People have some weird fetishes. Lol
Alienware purposely put all the plastic there for Dawid's love of peeling ASMR. Edit: That flick shot though.
9:09 the laptop mic recording blasted my ears. That was atrocious.
Womp womp.
My main laptop is actually an Alienware M15 R4 but it's a higher end model with a RTX 3080 wirh boost up to 140W. I had it for 3 years now and it's been solid. It actually performs similarly to a desktop with a 3060Ti in gaming. Timespy score roughly 11K.
Good lord.... that cooling, they did not put any thought into that at all
"It performs very well hooked up to a window AC" Your sponsors should pay you more 😅
Modern low end gaming laptops are directly competing with handhelds, and it's honestly embarrassing for them.
i am typing this on my new steam deck!
nice did you get stock or oled?
No one cares.
hows it like?
@@Kuldar67 i care...I care buddy...
@@Gravage why bro mad?
I have a x14 R1 that I bought about a year and a half ago, and they have defiantly cheeped out on the build quality. My R1 doesn't have any of the plastic bits on it or the major chassis flex that this one displayed. Over all I have been very happy with the x14 R1 that I have.
When Dawid touched the intakes, for a moment I thought that he tried to dissolve them with his finger grease
Thank you DDTS.. your weekend video is perfect Saturday evening viewing here in Perth West Australia
hahaha yes
the microphone didnt sound too bad, I've heared people on external microphones that sound as bad and a few worse
It's fair, I wonder how it would sound with someone slightly less enthusiastic than Dawid 😂
I have an MSI Katana 15 with the same CPU and GPU, 16GB of 5200 MT/s memory, a 1080p screen, and a slightly worse webcam. On the bright side, it has an Ethernet port and cost like $940 almost a year and a half ago at Micro Center. I have a pile of modern ThinkPads and Latitudes, but I wanted something I could do a little gaming on to pass the time while I looked for a job.
I dunno. I am running a refurbed 2022 variant of the Acer Nitro 5. After adding more storage and bumping the RAM up to 32GB, I probably spent $700 on it total. It is running and i5-12500H with the mobile variant of the 3050 Ti. The Timespy score is 5900. I'm sure this laptop can score a bit higher, but not enough to rationalize that price.
Now i am waiting for BeQuiet! To start marketing A/C vent adapters....
The webcam has good definition and is very clear and the mic was pretty good too. A 3050 in a laptop does it like a 3050 in a PC? When I looked for a laptop I wanted at least a GPU ending in 70
probes are tested on the david does bud stuff chanel
It'd be neat to see you compare this to a laptop with a similar price, I feel like when you look for laptops you always look for the total package when the users are really just looking for raw performance which leads to you finding the 4050 for almost 2k, when it feels like I look for any tech devices I'll find a laptop with a 4070 for 1k, 1.4 not on sale
You can fix Afterburner if your laptop has a MUX switch or your NVIDIA GPU has an advanced Optimus setting that forces the laptop to use the dedicated GPU only. That way, RTSS shows correct statistics.
I like the idea of the side hand warmer 😂. Crappy laptop though at that price point...
uploading almost daily is Craazy...
The GPU utilization not showing up in afterburner is optimus issue with newer versions of afterburner, to show gpu usage u have to start the game and minimize the game than start afterburner, than it will show GPU usage. Otherwise u can use Nvidia app to show gpu usage and temps as well
I spent $2,800 CAD on an MSI Vector 16, and after some bios and OC tweaking, and a cooling pad purchase, I'm exteremly happy with this laptop. i9 13980HX, 32gb ram, and RTX 4080. It was on sale when I bought it, though...
Oh man, I 100% guarantee you that was designed by the same person at Dell that did the XPS. It looks so much like someone just made a slightly bigger XPS13
Bought a Lenovo loq with same cpu/ram but 1tb ssd and a 4060 for $200 less. Would love to see you test out a new budget Lenovo option please
Try colorful evol p15 i7 12650h and rtx 4060 140watt blue variant
I have owned this laptop for about a year now. 32gb and a 4060. Very happy with it. I got it for $1200 from Dell.
dawig you can always enable NVIDIA or AMD overlay for there respective cards when MSI afterburner doesn't work
Anyone know if any gaming laptop manufacturers have started putting PTM7950 in them at the factory instead of thermal paste or liquid metal? I know XFX started doing it on desktop AMD cards, like the 7900xtx with the magnetic levitation fans
130 W what is the tgp of rtx 4050?
Two words that don't go together cheap and Alienware let's see how this video goes 😂❤
It doesn't have LPCAMM2 memory? It kind of looks like it, if not that was a clear miss.
I AM SIMPLE MAN. I SEE DAWID, I WATCH DAWID, I PRESS LIKE FOR DAWID. I AM SIMPLE MAN.
gaming is fucked when a laptop with 4050 costs $1800...
That apple product smell you refer to has a name "china" 😅
That mic made him sound more American than Canadian lol
I have that issue with Afterburner on my PC, it doesn't work anymore for on screen display, it just crashed and no matter how many times I reinstall it, just doesn't work anymore.
2nd alienware laptop you've reviewed* technically...
You also had an old one that you could change the GPU on. :P
skyrim console needs a proper numpad to work. needs separate pg up/down keys so lack of numpad means cant be perfect gaming laptop (unless you carry around a full usb keyboard).
You can try custom Lenovo loq laptop it's great ( yes you can customise your specifications accordingly on thier website) I have i5 13450hx and rtx 4060 one .
Peak Saturday this ♥

Alienware is only worth buying because they do big discounts. For £2800 I got a 4090, Ryzen 9 7950x, 64GB RAM, 2TB ssd. You couldn't make it yourself for that price.
Check tuf series they are better
Dude. You dropped that much on a pc!? The awesome.
I personally found myself have more fun with a low end pc that requires me to find work arounds and tinker more a bit to get a game running. 🤩
My fetish is very gratifying. 🤪😜😝😛
@MinnnDe I play on 65" LG C3, you need a good system to match a good display. I basically run everything at max settings, 4K, 120fps. Some games require more tinkering than you'd think, even with a system like that. If I didn't have a high end pc, lower resolutions look like crap on a 4k tv that size.
but with a pos psu and mobo and ram and the list goes on and you definetly can build it yourself for that price and with better performance and quality
@@MinnnDe "I personally found myself have more fun with a low end pc"
Sounds like copium to me.
Since Dawid is worried about the Big Booty on the laptop would he be OK if it was black? LOL
AYO??
💦
hows the 1k excusing the build quality? that build quality looks like what I've experienced on 600eur laptops
Alienware laptops used to be designed and built by Compal, those were great quality with fantastic cooling. I believe Dell started designing them internally when they dropped the m from the model names (m14x -> 14). Quality has gone downhill since.
daddy dawid's budget running low 😆
that price is CRAZY for that machine!
Alienware's design is still cool!
Watching this on an Alienware M17x R4 From 2012!
Isn't the G15 or the G16 cheaper?
dawid i have to say as i wont be around for to much longer ur whale sounds are amazing second thing hands down no questions ask YOU ARE THE BEST PERSON ON UTUBE cheers mate
But can the air conditioner cool the laptop to run in performance mode?
I don't really mind the "booty" on laptops like this but I've never understood why it's a thing. I mean just move screen hinge further back? There's no advanced tech you have to cram in there and nothing in the "booty" would interfere.
In other words. It's an out of this world flop.
That wild "all over the place" placement of the rear I/O annoys me more than the anal probe from earlier would.
it seems like their laptop and desktop departments don't talk to each other.
The Dell Precision laptop I have from work came with exactly the same power supply.
I do like all the I/O on the back, good move.
What io? It had absolute minimum
Lol good to know i'm not the only one that chooses to clean install Windows on a new laptop 🤣
I also factory reset new Android devices upon purchase too.. Especially the kids tablets, if i don't something in the software is broken or it runs extremely slowly... Until i factory reset the device and then it's fine... Can we normalize having stable software on new devices without having to reinstall/factory reset the OS of a new device?
Also i only recently learned the importance of up to date Intel drivers... been working on my own computers for over 18 years now and still get bested by drivers. Intel needs to pull an AMD and bundle their chipset drivers into a single package! Would have saved me so much headache
An Alienware that’s a poor value? Absurd! Totally unheard of!
So I just bought an "old" laptop with an i7 9750H and it's performance was a bit low. I installed ThrottleStop and tweaked a bit the voltage -125 and got better temps and better performance. Not sure about this CPU you had but most likely you can undervolt it and gain some performance, since lower voltage lets you turbo higher.
I know you are just a "fun" channel and you are not keeping this laptop. This comment is for everyone else with some laptop like this one.
Edit: You cannot undervolt 12th gen onwards if your cpu is only H, with HX you might have some luck. Thanks intel
It is not a "normal laptop power button". It is a keyboard button right next to the DELETE key. Any chance of a misclick?
Woohoo!
colourful laptop next, most expensive p evol 15
Did he try the override mode ?
Think of the Aliens!
to see the GPU display:open the game, quit afterburner and reopen it while the game is still running
I could imagine playing some CS2 or Valorant using the full 1440p 165hz (while plugged in). But for any other game the display is overkill and the little 4050 will not keep up 😂
Most DLSS implementations are good enough that I don't think one would notice upscaling 1200 to 1600p. I do wonder if 1080p/240hz would be a better fit for the esports-centric specs
I will be buying an RTX 5080 or 5090 Alienware laptop next spring/summer whenever they go on sale
I'd just want a bulletproof Dell laptop with a GPU rather than paying out for the Alienware brand tax.
Dawid, you and your videos are awesome, and I can't for them each week, keep it up
Again an example of overheating on a gaming laptop. But at least you can warm up your hand😂
Hopefully, doesn't seem like that raw of a deal. Like a teen asking for a gaming laptop would get a fair amount of mileage out of this even if there are better deals elsewhere
Ohhh nooo, another thunderobot
Fucking lost it with the happy whale noises 😂

Nah you gotta go back to when 900 series was the norm. The Alienware I had with a 970 in it was a piece of garbage
Hp victus 16 rtx 4050 allows up to 120w for the gpu how is this alienware gpu can't even hit 70w
After having had to service them for years as a Dell field Tech, I will never purchase one new. So many issues right out of the box.
its trying to be a desktop with all the ports at the back when its not.
Why BeQuiet tryna look like the hub logo?
8 minutes ago is crazy
