      SUDDEN-DEATH-GAMING What screen did you choose? I ordered mine with 1070 graphic and UHD 4K screen. Wanted to go for 120Hz but it will increase $600 as it is only available with 1080 graphic card.

    I have the FHD IPS 60hz panel version of this laptop with the 1070 and I absolutely LOVE IT. I use if between work and home exactly as Matthew described and mine is equipped with the 99wh battery, so I am getting 6 to 7 hours of usage time on one charge for basic productivity tasks and web browsing. This is of course with the Alien Fx lighting turned off in all zones, power saver mode turned on, and the screen at 50%, but that is still freaking incredible for a 17inch powerhouse of a laptop. I don't even bring my charger with me when I go to the coffee shop for a day of working on research papers in it anymore! Its great battery life makes it justifiably useful for practical applications as opposed to merely a gimmick to show off at LAN parties or coffee shops. Some will complain about the weight and I definitely agree that this is not a day to day 10 hours of carrying around the city kind of laptop. But it is perfect for its intended use and has been a joy to do upgrades on and game with. The weight is justified too in that it is freaking bullet proof. The pictures and videos before I bought and held my own have not done it justice. It. Is. A. Beast!!! The plastic grill on the bottom is the only thing I think that would break if I dropped this on an uneven surface from a height of 6 feet! The 17 R4 is seriously a damn fine laptop that gets way more hate than it deserves based on crappy older models and Dell buying Alienware some years back. Companies don't stay in business for long if they really suck as much as the haters say and the good ones will strive to satisfy customers wishes now or make hard design choices that receive flak but will ultimately benefit users in the future (I.e., companies replacing more and more ports with USB-C, but not to the extreme Apple went for just yet XD). This is a good laptop and most of the top RUclips tech reviewers like Dave Lee, MobileTechReviews, and so on have been giving it resounding praise. Pardon my long comment but I just want more people to be aware of how cool these machines are! Bad experiences can happen with every company, every model of laptop, every production year and refresh, so don't listen to a few pissed off people who go onto every video and review of a certain laptop or company and tear it to pieces, or worse, someone who has NEVER owned the model and is simply giving it or the company a hard time because they have nothing else better to do than create or sustain annoying controversies and arguments.

    • @reclusepilgrim
      @reclusepilgrim 7 лет назад

      I am getting your version of the laptop tomorrow. However, I hate the fact it doesn't have an optical drive or a card reader and missing out on at least two USB 3.1 ports.

    • @EagleEyeHunts
      @EagleEyeHunts 7 лет назад +2

      I am frustrated by the lack of the card reader myself, but as for the optical drive, that is just how it is anymore with the latest and greatest laptops. I myself have only used the USB optical drive accessory I purchased 10 times or so in the past year so it hasn't bothered me that much. As for the USB-A ports if that is what you are referring to, I think Alienware took a good path here with including two USB-C (the one on the back does thunderbolt 3 and the one of the side is USB 3.0 or 3.1) and two USB-A ports. The USB-C ports are going to keep this laptop relevant in the future and in the meantime I just bought some cheap Aukey USB-C to A adapters for when I need more than two USB ports. I do think they could have included at least 1 to 2 more USB-A ports on the right side, but I have to admit, the overall look and choice of ports has resulted in this being a very sexy and sleek machine. I also really appreciate the majority of the ports being on the back since that further keeps the laptop streamlined and your desk clean of cords.

    • @reclusepilgrim
      @reclusepilgrim 7 лет назад +2

      I am getting this laptop today in a couple of hours. It's exactly your version of it. And I hope I like it as much as you do. Any caveats or words of advice?

    • @EagleEyeHunts
      @EagleEyeHunts 7 лет назад +2

      Given that this is a huge laptop with large fans and excellent cooling, they are relatively quiet at all times. During heavy extended gaming, you really just get a loud "whoosh" of a sound more than whining like you do with a smaller laptop. On idle, the fans kick on occasionally, but it is generally a very quiet laptop when you are not doing heavily demanding tasks. Check out my channel here soon as I will be doing a video review of my 2017 Alienware 17 R4 including live recording of the fan sounds during heavy gaming. I already have made a review of the 2017 Dell XPS 15 FHD model that people seem to be enjoying! Not trying to treat this as an advertisement, but just wanted to let you know I will be doing the thing you want to see lol!

    • @reclusepilgrim
      @reclusepilgrim 7 лет назад +2

      I have been using this laptop for the past three days and I have not experienced any issue with fan noise. I am loving its sleek look and fast speed. But I have turned off the Tobii software.

  • @ORlENTATlON
    @ORlENTATlON 5 лет назад +6

    Honestly I don't relate to all these comments. I got an Alienware M17xR2 in 2011 and I'm still typing this comment with it, and its been on almost every single day since I bought it. The thing most people really underestimate is the build quality and the niche this brand fills. Sure, MSI are great for the money but they are built like a cheap plastic toy from Taiwan, because they are, thats how they save cost. This brick might weigh more than the moon but its survived x5 flights at 12 hours +, countless bus journeys, about another 30 hours flight time on that, in 3 different continents and it still wants to keep going. I spilled a glass of wine on the keyboard when I was in New Zealand and didn't turn it off so it shorted out. Took it to repair in England and repaired the water damage without even having to order in parts (3rd party repair). You have to maintain it every 6 months and clean the gunk out of the heatsink vents and re-paste the GPU/CPU but in that whole time I've only re-pasted twice. Maybe I just got a good egg, or maybe a vocal minority got a few bad eggs, but my experience with this brand has been amazing and I'm finally going to retire and upgrade after 7 years. Don't believe all the sheeple, the extra money isn't just for a brand name, its so it keeps working long after you would or should have already upgraded, while those cheaper models die.

    • @ORlENTATlON
      @ORlENTATlON 5 лет назад +1

      As an update I upgraded to Alienware 17 R4 with 7820hk with GTX 1080 and 120hz gsync screen with liquid metal repaste and it runs pretty much anything I throw at it at max settings at 1440p at over 60fps staying around 60-70c even after hours without breaks and its an absolute dream to use.

    • @Hallowed_Ground
      @Hallowed_Ground 5 лет назад

      @@ORlENTATlON I have the same exact specs as you but with the lesser 8750h cpu and it's the R5 rather than the R4, not sure about the difference between the two. I'm getting it tomorrow and I'm fairly nervous about the temperatures. How difficult is it to repaste? Doesn't liquid metal void the warranty?
      I heard the heatsink has trouble putting enough pressure on the gpu and especially the cpu, maybe even not making complete contact. I am considering putting some copper shims in there for better pressure and contact.
      I'm relieved to hear that your temperatures are really good, though. How were they before the repaste?

    I just got one of these in April. It's a beast. It's quite powerful, I call it "the tank" the only problem I have is the battery life and the speakers are slightly tinny, also you need to get an expensive backpack to hold this ( don't plan on putting anything else in the bag) I got this because this was the only laptop I could find with 4 hard drive bays. If you plan on not leaving the house, I would get this. If you need to edit video and on the go I would get something else.

    I ordered it, not this exact model of the review, but the one with a GTX 1060 6GB and 16GB DDR4, it should arrive in 2-3 weeks... (on Dell's site it says extimated delivery 30/10/2017)
    I can't wait to get a decent laptop to bring to my University to work with Maya, Cinema 4D, Photoshop and Sony Vegas... last year I brought my laptop and it sucks, slow as shit, it's a 2008 MacBook 13", it takes roughly 5 minutes to completely boot and the programs are very slow, I couldn't even render properly with Cinema 4D, that damn thing has only 2 cores... can't wait to get this laptop and I hope the battery will also last longer than mine...

    • @EliaForce1984ita
      @EliaForce1984ita 6 лет назад +3

      Gary Sellars yeah, it arrived November 6th.
      The thermals are good for a laptop, on 100% usage, the CPU reaches 73 degrees, the overall performance feels like a 2015-2016 desktop, it can get over 60 FPS on most modern games on medium-high settings and has no issues at all with old games, I bring it weekly to the University to work with Cinema 4D and the render time is exactly like my i7-4790k.
      At home, is used by my mom, for whom I made a second user, so I don't have her messy desktop and her Chrome saved passwords when I use it; on boot, depending whose in front of it, gets recognized by the IR and it automatically logs in the right user.
      Our best laptop so far!!!

    Hey Matthew Moniz, i got a question for you. The Alienware 17 got a bunch of different versions, so not in regards to gaming performance but to the cost/value relationship, which of those would you say is the best? After all, they can be as "cheap" as 1,349.99 to up to almost 3k $

However, on the official site, there have been loads of negative feedback by buyers especially this year (April,May,June). They have all rated the product with just 1 star out of 5 and almost all of them are complaining about the quality and the components. Any thoughts ?

    I have the 17r4 with the same CPU/GPU setup (I have more ram and I added another SSD) and I'm happy with it since I travel so much for work. I will say that looking at the temperatures you have in the video, you got one of the better ones in terms of thermals. I, along with a number of other owners, have had to take ours apart and repaste the heat sinks plus balance the thermal pads. Other than that, my laptop has worked flawlessly. I even have it paired with an Alienware AW3418DW when I'm at home and the mobile 1080 still handles it well on most games.

    Hey, great review, I mean really good, covered all bases.
    Here is a question though, I am looking to purchase the high end 1080 version>
    How do I connect the laptop to my current Logitech z5500 ( 5.1 ) system?
    The sound system has the following inputs:
    Digital Toslink
    Coax
    and aux cable 3 ( centre, subwoofer, Rear/Front )
    Also would the thunderbolt 3 port be able to, using an adaptor, to connect to my Dell screen using a usb c to display port converter?
    And which one would be the best?
    Soz, for all questions, but really keen on getting this laptop.
    Thanks :)

    Nice review.. Can I get a bit of help here buying the right laptop? I have Dell XPS 15-9560 and Alienware 17 R4 in my mind.
    I am comparing Dell XPS 15-9560 with UHD 4k touch which supports up to 1 TB SSD, 32GB RAMx2400Hz and 4GB VDDR5 GTX 1050 Graphics and Alienware 17 R4 UHD that supports up to 3TB SSD+HDD, 32GB RAMx2400Hz and 8GB VDDR5 GTX 1080 graphics. I hardly game..
    I am looking for a power horse that can basically serve these purposes:
    1) Render 4k videos in Adobe Premier pro, After effects, Davinci Resolve and Avid Media Composer with ease.
    2) 3D modelling in Blender and Cinema 4d
    3) Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom
    The challenges in front of me for the Dell XPS 15-9560 is limited SSD storage (only up to 1TB) and a max of 4GB GTX 1050 VDDR5 graphics, where as Alienware offers up to 3TB and 8GB GTX 1080 VDDR5 graphics while both offers up to 32GB DDR4 RAM x 2400Hz. I am not concerned with the heaviness of Alienware (5Kg), but care for ultimate performance. I would appreciate your suggestions. Thank you !

    I got an Alienware 17 R4 on June 17, 2017. It worked fine for two weeks and then Google Chrome started crashing, Edge won't launch and IE won't launch either. After troubleshooting for days, I finally nuked the system to factory state. Now I just installed Google Chrome and it crashed again on a clean installation. What's going on? Can you please help?

    "Only one with G-Sync". That is not true. Both the default UHD and one of the two QHD panel options have G-Sync. Albeit, the UHD Panel is the only option for both G-Sync and Tobii Eye Tracking. If you want a QHD panel, you will have to choose either having G-Sync or Tobii Eye Tracking.
    ANYONE looking to purchase the 1080GTX Model should also be aware that by default.. the 1050ti and 1080 models both come default with 8gb RAM. If you want to the 16gb or 32gb, you will need to customize your model for an additional price, or upgrade at a later point.

      I did mine myself with the 6820hq, has liquid metal on cpu and gpu, never goes past 60 degrees on both the gpu and cpu under full load and its overclocked custom to 4.1 all cores and gpu is also overclocked. :) hope this helps, the later models with the 7820 etc have better paste from the factory, if you want the best repaste yourself, that goes for any laptop or desktop

    • @JPOG7TV

    Are the GPUs desktop or mobile? Can't find that info anywhere. Building a new system. Want to make sure it's at least a little stronger than my dead (open mosfet) 17r4 was, so I'm trying to confirm if I'm looking for something stronger than a 1070 or a 1070 mobile.

      It's kind of split. Some got a good ones and some got bad ones. I think I got a bad one. It rips through benchmarks but my processor is thermal throttling for some reason and the temperatures are definetly higher than what the guy had.

    Why are the FPS so low when running Overwatch on 1440p on ultra? I see other benchmarks get 100+ FPS. There's no reason why the 1080 shouldn't be tearing through Overwatch... at 100+ FPS on max.

    earlier this month i purchased one with the gtx 1070, i7 7700hq, and fhd 60hz display. i decided to return it and i just purchased the same one but with the qhd 120hz display. Is it worth extra $250?

    • @EliaForce1984ita
      @EliaForce1984ita 6 лет назад

      Nah, the "default" monitor is already amazing and with the right settings in the nVidia control panel, you can get pretty much the same quality in terms of colours and brightness, as for 120hz... well, not so many games and programs take advantage of that and human eyes can't really see the difference between 60Hz and 120Hz, we usually don't see any difference past the 60 frames per seconds.

    • @madcapper6
      @madcapper6 6 лет назад

      Depends on how serious of a gamer you are. If you do a lot of competitive online gaming, are into E-sports and that type of stuff, then a 120 is a must. The 1070 will run many games above 60 fps anyway so with the cheaper display you're gonna be choosing between a lot of screen tear and lag that comes via V-sync.
      I don't know much about VR but it seems that a 120 is needed or at least highly recommended for VR too. I'd say yes, if you're gonna utilize the better display, it's worth it.

    • @ShabihAhmed
      @ShabihAhmed 6 лет назад

      Tanner did you like 120Hz screen? I have ordered UHD 4K display with i7-7700 with 1070 graphic. Do you think I should exchange with QHD 120Hz screen? Is it worth? It will increase the price to $600 as it is only available with 1080 card.

    • @brettbremer4017
      @brettbremer4017 6 лет назад +3

      Absolutely not the difference between 60hz and 100hz is huuuuge. There is a difference between 100hz and 144hz but it is much smaller. The sweet spot for gaming is defiantly between 100 and 120 FPS.

    • @prettyboii235
      @prettyboii235 7 лет назад +1

      BeatzCracker I haven't put it through a stress test but the only time it tends to get warm to hot for me is when im playing a game for hours , I typically have the charger connected when I'm playing so it tends to get a little hotter but with all the vents it has you have nothing to worry about, Definitely worth it if you are considering getting one . You won't be disappointed .

    • @beatzcracker7325
      @beatzcracker7325 7 лет назад

      Majin Vegeta With The Slaps thank you for the reply! Do the temperatures get over 80 or even 90 while playing a very demanding game?

    • @prettyboii235
      @prettyboii235 7 лет назад

      & I do have my settings set to the highest they can go in all my games so it definitely gets put to the test in that manner .

    • @prettyboii235
      @prettyboii235 7 лет назад

      BeatzCracker not even close to those temperatures I'd say the hottest it gets is 80 and that's if I'm playing for like 5 or 6 hours straight with the charger in running full power, the fans & the vents really get rid of the heat very well.

I wanted the best they had to offer so I opted for the UHD rather than the QHD.. did I make a mistake in doing that?
