Love my m16 r2. Got it for $1400. It’s perfect for me. Don’t need the highest performance and it’s more casual looking for doing work in public. Was never a fan of ultra flashy gaming laptops. This thing plays every game I throw at it well, and I can get 7-10 hours of battery out of it when doing school work.

Hey nice video! I wanted to know if it was possible to know the power draw during your battery test. You see, I don't get why identical CPU's get very different battery life results when set to their "lowest" power profile (on windows or directly on the control panel). I thought that maybe if you could show the total system power draw during this test we'd be able to (after purchase) tweak some settings to get better battery life results! Or maybe running a power draw software will impact battery life? Anyway thank you for the reviews !

everything we invest in, we should know its thorough pro's and especially its con. this is a great example of listing equal cons to the product and so very important for the consumer; also forces the brand to acknowledge and hopefully do better next time. another hobby i'm in the buyers just accept things at face value cost and don't push for better quality which is disappointing; we should always be asking for better.

The Legion is lighter and usually cheaper than the M16. Personally, I feel the build might be a bit better too from the looks of this video. But the M16 has better upgradability (more RAM slots) and better cooling (on paper). In my opinion, you should get whichever is cheaper with 32gb RAM (either pre-installed or bought separately).

13th gen and 14th gen are basically the same, 14th just has a slightly higher single core boost, it's negligible, just a rebrand really. Only difference is in the i7 HX as it adds on more E cores. I think we discussed the helios vs legion in Discord, unless that was someone else.

Legion Is almost Always better than Alienware even when more expensive.
