Whenever a laptop manufacturer says they've made a mechanical keyboard it's total crap, but Cherry and Alienware think they've finally cracked it.

@@ferretforrent1144 And that is still a size so insignificant to a corporation the size of Dell that they won't even think twice. And, in reality, of that 13.4 million, only about 1/10th to 1/15 watch the videos on average. Which is already a number so small to a corporation the size of Dell that any negative effect it's likely to have is within a rounding error. And, let's face it. Of that...say, 0.9-1.8 million viewers, only a small percentage of them are in the market for a computer or laptop during any one particular year. And, between that time frame and the sheer number of videos, the majority of those people will pretty much just remember, "Huh, LTT does a lot of videos about Dell" rather than any particular detail. Pretty much the worst consequence that will happen out of this is that the PR rep that sampled the device to LTT might get reprimanded or fired. Otherwise, Dell really just doesn't care. For every 1 person that learns anything of value from this video, there's thousands that will just go to Dell to buy a laptop because there was one that was cheap and because Dell is a huge manufacturer, so "they have to be good, right?".

I got a mechanical keyboard, hoping that it responds more reliable. The cherry MX brown are reacting to each keypress, no failure, so that aspect works excellent. And I learned to appreciate the tactile feedback, which eliminates the need to hammer the key down to the bottom. It's much more gentle on the fingers than a cheap rubberdome keyboard.

I’ve got this exact setup with the 150hz screen and normal keyboard. It’s a portable desktop replacement that does gaming duty since I travel for work constantly. When at home it’s hooked up to a 34” Alienware ultra wide and Corsair mech keyboard, so no need for the better screen and keyboard. Paid about $2500 for it with some recent sales and it’s one of the few things I’ve purchased in the last decade that I don’t have any regrets about.

I have the previous i9 M17, they should have made it less thin and allowed it to actually get airflow. For normal use you have to raise it up with a stand, underclock the CPU or both. Leaving it flat though it sometimes overheats and shuts down.

7:30 I don't think the actuation point on the graph is correct. The graph suggests the force required increases gradually, then increases suddenly to the point of activation, before dropping off again. Surely the required force would increase - let's say linearly - up to the point of activation, then drop suddenly as shown. (I'm ignoring the increase in force up until it bottoms out).

I bought it and as someone who was usually on console before, I love pc gaming... But after a while I understand why not that many people like alienware...

I guess if you can't tell or don't care about that noise, you have to be an alien.

The problem with laptop keyboards for me mechanical or not is the tiny travel time. I need the feedback of when I pushed the key vs when it actuated. Laptop keyboards feel like you’re typing on a touch screen so it’s hard to tell where your fingers are, if you’re typing too slow or too fast, and it’s very hard to catch mistakes before you make them like you can with a regular keyboard. I need more tactility than scissor switches or opto mechanical whatever’s
