The Alienware x14 aims to be the lightest and thinnest gaming laptop of 2022 but does that make it the best? Well that's what I wanted to find out because there's other things to take into account like the Alienware x14 battery life, price and gaming performance of its RTX 3060.

The fact that there are many charts in this video shows that the creator really care and actually study about strengths and weaknesses of the laptop in comparison with other models at similar price range. I love that he also opens the laptop to show interior design as well. Thank you, good work!

Bought one of these the other day, got a £600 discount using the official Dell Outlet which I was very pleased with. Using it for gaming and UX design work. Really liking it so far, it's small and light and the design is great. Performance is really good and it's a lovely machine to use. Only criticism would be fan noise, as it's really loud, but I usually game with headphones so not too much of a problem.

@laurentmatheo6329 Жыл бұрын

Same thing for me, fan noise really surprised me, even on normal use, I even tried Intel XTU at the time (early 2022), but it did not work, I had to use the "quiet" profile when just browsing (not sure of the profile name, but the one that basically puts fan speed the lowest).

I've never really considered a gaming laptop before because I actually use my laptop as a "lap" top regularly and like to be able to travel and move about the house or a co-working space with it and run on battery for a workday if necessary. I've always gone with an XPS 13 and an eGPU enclosure for gaming. I hate the new XPS design they've come out with and thought I'll be missing an upgrade this year but I actually think I might go for this one. 14" has always been the sweet sport for me in size/portability and it'll be nice to have a full-size USB port again! Shame about the shortsighted bezel design restricting access and all ports at the back is annoying, but I'm used to carrying dongles so not a big deal. I just wish there was a 3070 option for driving my ultrawide display. I think if they manage to fix the battery life with a firmware update then it'll be an immediate purchase for me. I'll always have my eGPU for anything the 3060 can't handle.

@yonggoose2905 2 жыл бұрын

If you want to spend a little more on something with better specs, I'd go for the Asus ROG Zephyrus M16. It's about $2100 for a 3070Ti/16gb Ram, for the $3400 model is a 3080 with 32gb Ram. I could be wrong on the specs for the $3400 model.

@johnserpo9267 2 жыл бұрын

The X14 was designed around that tiny 130w adaptor - the only gaming laptop that uses USB-C charging. It's basically the same adaptor as 13" XPS, and you can use 140W MacBook adaptor too. The whole selling point is convenience, portability, 'Quality of Life' improvement and then some. Because of the limited 130W, Dell only allow up to RTX3060 for the GPU, but by using the Intel 12700H CPU they offered a difference from Blade 14 and Asus G14 which are both AMD. This is not a pure gaming laptop, it's made for people who carry it around for work and do some gaming on the side. It's probably the only gaming laptop with a 130W adaptor - which is more than adequate for a 1080p screen, games all run above 60fps. At a time when electricity is expensive, you will feel less guilty playing games and save money on utility bills too.

Great review and breakdown. I really like this laptop. While it doesn't perform on par with Razor Blade or Asus G14 in games, it's more than enough for my needs. Running World of Warcraft on high settings at 60+ fps shouldn't be hard for any machine now with rtx 3050ti and up. Productivity benchmarks look really well so using Lightroom on the go seems like it would be a great experience on this machine. While it's tempting to go all out on specs it seems to me (based on various reviews) that 14" laptops really start hitting diminishing returns at RTX 3070 and up because of thermals. Razer Blade with 3080ti seems like a complete waste, as I could heavily upgrade my desktop instead for the price difference. My biggest gripes with this is the 16GB max ram, FHD resolution instead of QHD (for photoshop), and the keyboard placement that you struggled with, although I would I have medium hand size. The problem is I can't try this before I buy it... Would also have liked more battery life, but realistically it won't be an issue for me as long as I can get 5-6 hours of video playback or light usage. Also love that it has USB charging, so powerbanks is an alternative for trickle charging on the move if needed. Where I live the X14 with 3060 and 2GB storage costs about the same as the G14 with 6800S/6900HS, so going with the Asus is not the obvious choice for me. Razer Blade 14 is not as available in terms of models, so only option would be 14 with 3070ti and that's an extra 600$

Actually it's easier to fit this in messenger bags than backpacks due to the orientation; it's technically briefcases that will have a problem since small Messenger bags are more of tablet bags already (ie Timbuk2 Classic Messenger XS, Catapult, etc). Messengers ie those that can fit a bike helmet (or more stuff a professional bike messenger might actually carry) will have more space towards the top as long as they can fit the width, but a backpack orients the laptop vertically and the width of the backpack is likewise more finite but also the shorter and the spare space goes to the L-R length of the laptop. For example, given the stated dimension vs my HP 14in notebook as it fits in my bags, I 1. am certain this will not fit my Karachi Outpost (the old one that fits the old 13in MBP) 2. doubt it can fit my Timbuk2 Swig 3. am certain it can fit in my Timbuk2 Classic Messenger S (let alone M) without having the lid gaping 4. will not fit my Small Barney Rustle blanket, even without a sleeve (these bags don't have any laptop sleeves sown into the interior); but may fit the Medium (these bags, for all the ways the strap is better than Timbuk2, can't fit some things thanks to how they taper down to the bottom) I'd rant about what the point is about making it thinner if it complicates backpack choices for people who either need to take a train or just prefer backpacks (and what 5mm more thickness can do to repackage the battery and cooling) but I already did that in one other vid.

Uhhh... I have an X14 and It's actually taller than some 17" laptops. It doesn't really fit in any bag I have except for the Alienware Horizon Utility Backpack. I don't complain, though, because that backpack is amazing.

@mbvglider 2 жыл бұрын

heh after posting that, I've actually been trying to stuff it into different bags all day. It actually does fit most bags because it's so thin, so that even when it looks like it won't fit because of width, it usually somehow slides in. It even fits some designer (Kate Spade) totes. So... never mind, lol. While there are some pockets it's too wide for, it seems to fit about 70% of the laptop bags I have (I have too many, lol).

@Z020852 2 жыл бұрын

@@mbvglider Exactly my point. The front to rear dimension of Alienwares is far wider than anything else in the same screen size save for the MSI Titan. This is true for all of them but it's extremely baffling why the X14 has to be ridiculous thin* when the backpack has to be wider and usually also taller since it's not gonna be sized for a 13in/14in backpack anymore. More so if the shell of the backpack is meant to be stiffer for ergonomics as well as for carrying some other stuff like cameras, so the backpack itself can't really flex. *without counting the feet, because another 5mm of heatsink fin width actually matters when working with this little unlike on a huge desktop CPU cooler where things level off past a DRP4

I know most people don't want the extra hassle, but I always buy a laptop with the smallest drive available and upgrade it myself. It means I can use a good, reliable drive and not whatever was cheapest for Dell to acquire at the time (they never specify what drive they supply because it can change month-to-month and region-to-region) and I also want a clean install of Windows without all the bloatware so I'm reformatting anyway. The cost of a new drive at the capacity I want is always cheaper than the upgrade option and I can put the supplied drive in an external enclosure and use it as a backup. But I also agree with your point. They just use it as an attractive entry price and then profit off your need to upgrade it.

@Melodie_Info3 Жыл бұрын

Battery is standard less power then plug in, although you do have the performance mode set to on it increase the ghz higher by clock higher. Plug in is accetionally better cause you will feel a big difference in power and ghz will boost up a clock higher causing gaming to be smoother then before, and when you set it to turbo mode that when your m.s response become super smooth more powerful ghz increase by 40 percent faster. Thats is the difference again battery is become a laptop itself while gaming with plug in become a PC and this depend on the specs or laptop. Edit: I play Resident evil 4 full graphics setting and its lagging a bit frame rate drop 45 even though I set it to 60fps re4 setting. I plug in the cable now im at 60fps and when you click the turbo button your get much better m.s smoother 60fps.

it's there. I believe when you're looking at the specs of any model there an option to see the specs of the GPU in all their gaming computers.

I bought the Alienware x14 R1 in hopes of enhancing and bettering my gaming experience with the Total War games. I downloaded WH2 and 3 and all my space was gone. I'm not technically inclined so can someone point me in a direction on what I can do to add more space?.. I would love to download the rest of the total war games I have plus the new one coming put. Thanks!!!!

Average power of the alienware x14 shown 80+ and 60+ is way more than the 130w power supply. So is it draining battery?

@mbvglider 2 жыл бұрын

In my experience, no. The thing is, in games, you don't really need full CPU power because a game will only use a few cores anyway, so I'd expect that it boosts GPU mostly and keeps CPU at base power. I've never noticed that it drains battery.

Just want to point out how important tdp is nowadays when laptop manufacturers don't specify it as max q or not The razer blade with a 80watt freaking 3080ti got beat by a 3070ti (much cheaper) which was able to run at 140watt

@nomiguda 2 жыл бұрын

There's one metric where I think the Alienware is a lot more livable. On notebookreviews test the g14 gets hot on the keyboard and underside. The x14 runs much cooler. You might think this is minor but in day to day not wanting to game on it because you get roasted has happened to many users before.

The design looks okay, but the screen and the spec are underwhelming. Maybe make it thicker to cool it better. I remember when they came out with water cooled laptop, that had a desktop cpu in it. you could upgrade it. not even raid or anything with 1 terabyte of memory. disappointing.

As usual a lot of people are upset that the price is high for the specs. I think some viewers need to consider that other laptop components cost money. It costs money to make a laptop small, or pretty, or well-built. It's like a buying a Camaro SS vs. an entry level BMW 3 series. Obviously one's faster but the other's got a lot of other areas of focus that raise the price that don't contribute to the speed

The issue is that theres a competitor that is lighter, smaller, cheaper, and has longer battery life while only sacrificing 0.1 in of thickness. All of that and it still look just as premium. This begs the question why anyone should bother with this laptop?

@@sentryion3106 I'll tell you why, the 2021 G14 3060 with the amime matrix display was up for sale at 1200 bucks...and I was almost there to pull the trigger , and for those who did, it s a great system and great deal... i am not an alienware fanboy, but I was lucky enough to hold the g14 and this X14 back to back, side by side, the g14 is a bit thicker but yes overall footprint is a tad bit smaller, but it is also lighter, and the inhand feel while still very good, is not exactly as great as this one, this x14 feels like a macbook on steroids, thin yet dense with no chassis flex whatsoever, and then, where I live, ASUS' after sales service and support is appaling...Apple, Dell, HP & Lenovo has great after sales support, but not asus, neither MSI...forget about gigabyte....razer ain't available...if you want the biggest bang for your dime, the g14 is a better buy, but if you want a solidly built dependable system with good support, i'd say the Alienware makes a bit more sense...

@@insenjojo1839The newer 2022 version got a big update and in terms of looks and feel its been greatly improved from previous years. It is pretty much on razer level which on the feel alone stands with the top non gaming laptop out there. what is the point of a great feeling machine when it's impractical? For the example of luxury car you get extra ,,"nice to have"feafures that are still practical and in most case quite useful. In this case you pay for the thinness that makes absolutely no sense since you end up increasing the footprint anyways. Even I can argue the slimeness of the 2016 -2019 Mac makes more sense since it overall increase portability while thatz not the case for the x14 since it's even less portable than actually making it a bit thicker. If you live in the US the problem with warranty can be mitigated by buying best buy warranty. Also just as Asus had back experiences with customer support, so do many people have horror story with dell as well.
