So strange to me how laptop prices in america are sometimes 400$ cheaper than in europe. THe same model costs 1984 euros to me..

@capt.heinrich6945 Ай бұрын

Literally 1984

My guess is Nvidia is America' company, and dell is also America's company, so.... there is no customs clearance for the product

@nikolagvozdenovic940 Ай бұрын

And like 800-900€ more in my non-EU country, at least

@jaandeleon4204 Ай бұрын

Not just laptops. Almost all electronics are more expensive in Europe than America. I think it is mostly a marketing scheme rather than "justing for the market." It could also be when you buy certain electronics they are currently here in the U.S. the. Needs to be shipped so they are adjusting for the cost

I got a very bad experience with Alienware. Make sure your Alienware M16 does not get stuttered when watching youTube videos. So just check it carefully!! Especially with mute and unmute button may cause video stuttering. I think the problem is from the mainboard.

Would be a nice extra or a little bit more helpful to know the SD card version for speeds and also the same for the ethernet port is it typical one gig or has it been upgraded to the new 2.5 gig?

Thanks for the review, I recently purchased this laptop due to the build quality is amazing, the 300 nits does not bother me as much because for the most part I am using this inside and not outside. IMO you cannot see a difference between this and a laptop that offers a 400nits+.

Can you please tell about the thermals and fan noise

@sanderm4n51 27 күн бұрын

@@badalsaibo my honest opinion, in game play its just as loud as any other gaming rig. I have a cooling mat and I've been playing on balance and it's been performing like butter and it's not loud at all. While on work mode, when I switch off to stealth mode it's quiet and believe it or not not warm at all. In my opinion this far the most overall amazing gaming/work PC.

The M16 is more comparable to the Yoga Pro 9i in terms of specs, IMO. But on a side note, from your experience, does an upgrade from the RTX 4060 to RTX 4070 result in a significant performance increase in Blender and Resolve if everything else is identical? Also, is i9 really need? Or will i7 suffice for most use cases?

@ejcubing3622 Ай бұрын

i7 is enough for most if not all use cases, upgrading to i9 would only be incremental at best, on the other hand 4060 to 4070 would be rather noticeable around 20-30% performance increase

I've heard it's actually more like 10-15% difference based off the reviews I've seen.

Hi Ben, I hope you to help me to make the right choice before i get my new laptop For content creation, 3D softwares (3dsmax and heavy renderer like Lumion and Unreal Engine) and some gaming for aure . There is 4 options that I'm consider about : 1 - Legion 5 15ach6h (Ryzen 7 5800h /RTX 3070 /FHD 165Hz)... For 1200$ 2 - *Amazon renewed*Aorus 17(Core i7 12700h "DDR4" /RTX 3070Ti /FHD 360Hz)... For 1100$ 3- ROG strix G15 Advantage edition (Ryzen 9 5980hx /Rx 6800m / WQHD 165Hz)... For 1200 $ 4- Triton 300 SE 14 (Core i7 12700h "DDR5" / RTX 3060/ WUXGA 165Hz)... FOR 1050$ I'm in Dubai and those the best options i found at this price.

I have the Alienware M18 R2 for a replacement desktop. It works great but I had to uninstall and reinstall the Alienware command center. I also got the mouse and headset and together it is a very nice set.
