Alienware was a seperate company??? I thought Dell launched Alienware

​@@100uschallenge3Alienware was a small company back then that pretty much put the hurt on dell's XPS line. Literally nothing could compete with the laptop's of back then.

​​@@100uschallenge3dell bought the good and well reviewed Alienware brand in 2006. It's been dell-ified ever since.

Brand tanked as soon as it was acquired by Dell

Same. Unfortunately ended up frying the gpu (wear and tear), but it was great while it lasted. The gpd win max series seems to revive that type of laptop

Best damn laptop I've ever had

M11x was way ahead agreed. Solid little machine

We need gaming laptops in the 11 inch form factor again

Room heater, egg cooker, but definitely NOT a gaming PC, and not even a reasonable PC for basic email/browsing/writing/work, let alone even the simplest tiers of data science

same ,I still use my m14 from 2011 even though its a Dell version

Would you like to sell it?

Same here! I have mine from 2011 (M17X R4). Rocking a 1 TB SSD, 2 TB HDD, and a GTX 970M I installed a few years ago. Downside is making edits to the drivers so it'll install properly.

same here. Have an M15 with an 8750h and the 2070, and a 15 R3 with the 7700hq and 1060. The M15 does het pretty toasty with that 8750h, as you cannot undervolt it, but the 15 R3 does pretty well really. It's a damned good unit.

@@aldoortega4496 They were probably just choosing to upgrade every couple years...

Well at leas this answers the questions "Who the hell is buying this shit?"

Same! My first laptop was 10 years ago with the Alienware M17X R2. Now I have the M17 R2 with the 980M. In between both of these laptops, I had a Lenovo laptop and the build quality was trash and the henge broke so the screen was just hanging. Yes, Alienware is more expensive for the same price but you're paying for the quality, in-house build, and bragging rights in the same way a Ferrari is double the price of a Corvette with the same performance, no difference.

my AW from 2019, has been working avg degree of 90 C for 4 years.....still working, moreover AW has really solid and tuf build@@stanleysimmonsreactions9056

Im thinking of getting the m17 r2, is it still worth it in 2023 and how much years would it survive from now on

I guess it depends on what your level of gaming is. If you play older games or just not super graphicly intense games then maybe it can be an option. I personally would save up and get a newer GPU one but if you're on a budget then yea M17 R2 is great in my personal experience.@@R0CKFORD

I'm using my 17R3 from 2015 here in 2023 with absolutely no issues. I'm sure the M18 will be just fine for many years to come.

My AW r15 2019 is still alive, just one reminder, repasted every year.

Had a reply here but it was for another comment 🤷

Is it better than Lenovo Legion Pro 5i?

One Month Update - still haven't accidently turned if off. Can't believe you used that as one of the reasons to avoid this laptop.

Is it good to upgrade alienware m16 Ram 16 to 32? Does it makes any problem with the performance?

Yeah, I went through the hoops of looking at those two brands but quickly discovered they didn't have the best reputation. Now I'm looking at Lenovo legion or origin 17x for my next laptop.

@@offdazaza2769 wow, that's sucks 😞

​@@rowankeltizar5961lenovo the same shit

I just bought an ROG Strix 18" 4080. So far the thing is absolutely amazing. I've had numerous high end laptops and so far the Strix is right up there with the other ones. The thermals are fuggin amazing. Cpu idle at 31c and never goes above 80c, meanwhile the gpu never exceeds 72c. I got one of the later 2023 batches and maybe ASUS really checked themselves. I'll remember your comment though if anything happens to it prematurely.

I bought, and returned it because the mouse pad wasn't lit right otherwise I would have kept it. It was the nicest thing I ever owned!. I wish I would have got another. Maybe next time! However it was a struggle to order at first which sucked, and was time consuming due to needing to call them. (Forgot why)

Like Linus

Cant you haters stop?

@@mat967 just wait until action :)

@@mat967 while I can’t speak for anyone else, I’m simply expressing support for this channel and this video with my comment. Whether I am right, wrong, or inevitably somewhere in the murky middle, it would be a mistake on your part to presume I harbor any “hate” for anybody. But since you mentioned it, I also have no problems with being transparent-I am certainly disappointed with all the shenanigans going on with Linus and crew. This isn’t his channel though, nor is it his video, so I won’t spend any time further chumming the waters for unrelated commentary. My point is that on this particular issue of accepting sponsorship (and the related laptop review), this channel was relatively transparent and relatively honorable when considered against folks like LTT and their current issues. Given the current climate of this admittedly marketing-dominated medium, my commentary is at bare minimum relevant and perhaps even necessary as we all wade our way through the madness. So far as I’m concerned, Linus doesn’t need random support online, rather, he needs to step up and accept responsibility. While no one is perfect, I applaud this example of doing better than he has done recently. I am not merely mindlessly piling on to dramatics and theatrics. You are entitled to disagree or agree as you see fit, I wish all involved nothing but the best.

Struggling with integrity? More like intentional money grabbing while sacrificing one's conscious, or lack thereof. Luckily for Linus, his in-law parents stepped in to give him a beat down. If not for that, he would have ended up like Logan.

300....

Dell Australia was recently fined $6.5 million for price shenanigans on their website, so I wonder if their sales are even sales at all. As for their customer support, I've had great experiences if you're within warranty. They will ship out items to you or send a technician to do the repair for you. However, that doesn't mean their customer support will be great all the time, so I can imagine people having issues. I also hate the weird, proprietary engineering Dell and Alienware do with their desktops, meaning it's hard to reuse and upgrade them. The Alienware desktops might be easier to upgrade, since they're likely to have better PSUs and more space, so at least there's that.

You should repaste the laptop each year if you use it heavily or at least every 2 years.. just saying ;)

I thought thunderbolt was intel cpus exclusive? I have an m17 r5 with the same specs, but id recommend installing tiny11 to speed things up and do away with unnecessary background tadks eating up cpu and gpu usage. I just had a way better experience afterwards

did you opt for the 240 hz 1440 p screen? one of the best parts of that laptop.

I got a 6900hs and 6850m xt with 4k 120 Hz. I do regret getting the 4k but they didn't have the 1440p display that I wanted. You can use AMD super resolution to increase the resolution of the display

I got the same one earlier this year (6900/3070Ti) and it is an excellent machine, my only gripe is win 11 (chrome book edition). The M15 it was priced lower than many of the 3060 specked laptop offerings.

Those laptops were the best. You could swap out the gpu and it had the most amazing feature, HDMI-IN which allowed you to use the laptop as an external display for other devices, it was AMAZING for troubleshooting PCs, because you had a fully functional PC and an external display in 1, was also pretty cool, cuz you can plug a console into it and game on the go

​@@ianvisser7899agreed! HDMI In is such an underrated feature.

most probably. even passive stand with no fans underneath would have improved the airflow thus reducing the temps and fans struggle to push past the resistance when facing the "floor". one thing I always remind people around me of is not to use tablecloths under any laptop. that should be an obvious thing, but somehow people just don't realize how much blankets and other types of cloths kill the airflow and shorten the lifespan of at least the cooling fans if not the laptop itself. yes it's cozy having a computer on your knees in bed on a cold winters night, but it's also devastating to it's hardware.

Amen to that!

Was it something like the gtx 295 era of computing?

@@edplat2367 It was so long ago that I had to look it up - it was dual 256MB GeForce 8700M GT. For those interested, the other specs are 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme X7900 and 2GB of 667MHz memory. And I was wrong - it was a Dell XPS M1730, apparently prior to Dell buying out Alienware (though I did have an Alienware later on, I think).

I don't mind the weight, either. I want the performance.

@@dawnfire82 The problem is thats a heavy laptop to only come with a 7600 , Especially when you consider you could buy a clevo model for not much more that has a 13900HX + 4080. It also had the added bonus of not being so garish with its gamer aesthetic , thats entirely user subjective though.

is software problem jejeje m16 needs so work out of the box :)

Same , my Alienware 13 R3 laptop since 2017 going strong. Only issue I had was ram about 2 years ago, replaced the ram and it's been great ever since.

@TheAgentAssassin I've only experienced two issues that I can point the blame at alienware for. 1. I've upgraded half the parts in it and the bios doesn't like my new CPU fan. So it tells me that every time I start it. (Goes away after I click 'ok' so it's not a problem) 2. Poorly applied thermal paste.

@@eclipsez0r Did you reply to the wrong comment?

@@plutobioptic675 it would seem so.

*throws things at child*

I had a Lenovo in between my updates to get a newer Alienware 10 years ago. The build quality was bad, the hedge snaped and the screen was hanging.

I got a Gigabyte Aorus XE15 with a 12700H and 3070Ti for $1300. Added in a 32GB memory kit and an additional 2TB M.2 for $200.

@SoranoGuardias only reason I'm going with an i9 is it'll play dual roles as both a gaming and video editing machine. You have a very solid setup at a great price!

@@cueball981 It is nice. It trades blows with my 11700K/3070 desktop.

The hinges for the M16 and M18 were redesigned. They're legit SOLID!

I opened my alienware m14x r2 one day and the hinge popped pushing the screen out and there's no way everything is just going to go back in place.

@@venomlightYT that's very unfortunate. ☹️

An unfortunate situation but it's not their fault that Intel changed the desktop socket again. Their desktops are underwhelming but their laptops are great, and the customer support is top tier. No need for the NPC Alienware hate.

@@noahbollinger2828 and the upgradable GPU modules they said they they would produce to allow people to upgrade to newer gens(and didn’t deliver either)? Is that also somehow not their fault?… Cope and seethe harder fanboi

I got one in 2003 as well. Was over $4000 at the time. Was also a desktop Pentium 4, and I deployed on CV73 in 2004 with it. The mobo died in 2005. I learned about Sager after that, and have used a Sager ever since. Retired at 20 in 2014.

@@muskaos Sager... Funny you mention that. My last squadron had an IT3 that raved about his Sager. They make good stuff. This was in 2007? 08 maybe. His Sager at that time was a TANK. I hadn't heard of them before that. But his admiration of them has led me to check them out from time to time since. They're nice PCs for sure.

@@muskaos , you were a bit north of my homeport. I deployed on the USS Carney from 04-05. My system died while I was on shore duty after I got up from my couch during a snow storm outside (statically charged) and tapped the metal coffee table my laptop was sitting on. Insta-killed the laptop, unfortunately. I then got a Dell XPS desktop (since I was on shore duty), and quickly learned to loath Dell for the rest of my days.

Jay did address Corsair and Origin a few months ago in response to a video that Steve Burke and Gamers Nexus did about a $6,000 prebuilt gone wrong… …It’s kinda funny that criticism by Gamers Nexus has brought about so many controversies lately in the tech industries.

@@bryanwhite433 Hello sir, I bought the Corsair desktop case and their QL120MM fans with the Lighting node a pack of 3 fans then I bought two more of the QL140MM to mount on top of the case then I started building my gaming rig and I started screwing the front three fans and the screw heads are not wide enough or the slots where you use to mount the fans is too wide it’s either one but I had to go and buy washers for all three fans 12 washers then I mounted the top QL140MM and it was perfect size and you do have the option of either fan size. Everything else mounted just fine until 2 weeks later I had to reset the bios on my MPGZ590 msi gaming plus and I’m on my fourth motherboard because they kept going bad on me and let me be clear I’m not a newbie I have custom built over 200 desktop and that’s not including a hospital contract that I won by doing bids for the job anyways I had to remove my RTX 3060 12 gig ddr6 or 5 but I only mounted it one time and I don’t use electric screwdrivers on desktop’s I use a standard and I don’t over tighten I tighten it just enough to support and hold the gpu in place and I use a adjustable rod to help hold up my gpu so when I took out my gpu to get to the motherboard battery to pop it out and then put it back in to reset the bios and then I plugged in the gpu on the motherboard I started to turning the screws on the case for the gpu slot the screws just kept turning they never tighten up and that’s because they are stripped out and I couldn’t believe that happened so thinking that it might be the two screws I tried using the other same screws and the same thing happened the holes are stripped out and Corsair refuses to work with me plus I was still within the 30 days return and they would not respond back to my emails other than 1 email saying that they no longer use the phone for support and I used there email they sent to me and I sent them a very short video and photos for the washers. So I’m stuck with a pretty much useless 4000D case and even the metal side panel came bent. I will never ever buy anything from Corsair products and they do not honor the warranty st all.

And I know this is probably going to be somewhat jaded and definitely a hot take, but if you're not using a laptop Long enough that it's going to disintegrate, and have the financial resources not to care, not to mention the real general problem of secondhand laptops in the ability to not produce more e-waste, that shows immense privilege and I like your stuff and I respect what you're trying to do, but that's some definite privilege in reviewing my friend. Because If I'm going to spend premium money on a laptop, particularly a high-end laptop which I know I'm going to probably keep around in one form or another for a long time, the last thing I want is for that damn thing to have the exterior disintegrate on me-And be so gross that I don't want to have it anywhere near me for regular usage. I don't even like the feel when I have to lay my hands on that shit once it starts to go which is maybe 2 years at best. And if you have to keep a laptop for longer than that which, quite frankly, a lot of us end up doing, or the very least we end up giving them to somebody and then that person has to deal with that gross disgusting mess, so yeah! Definitely definitely need to address that.

Oh man, I completely agree. This rubberized/soft touch trend needs to stop. I regularly clean/disinfect laptops and electronics w rubbing alcohol and I refuse to buy anything with soft touch rubberized coatings bc it will bubble up and disintegrate/flake off making a mess everywhere. Hate that crap. Metal cases, carbon fiber, UV stablized plastic all the way 👍👍

@@V1NC3R0 If they went the extra mile and used platinum catalyzed silicone rubber, then it would be bake resistant up to 450°F+, easily cleaned, etc., and extremely resistant, chemical resistant, and depending upon additives, biocompatible - but that would (due to manufacturer monopolies, platinum, and patents) sizable costs. If you ever do require a rubberized exterior, do yourself a favor and get platinum catalyzed silicone rubber to cut to size. You might have to make it yourself/cut the sheets, and do some DIY lab work, but that shit is ❤️💯! It just costs! (Make sure not to confuse it with tin catalyzed silicone rubber as that has potentially toxic byproducts-which might be fine for your shower caulking, But if you're going to have constant up close and personal contact with your skin, might not be the best idea! 🤣)
