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.

I actually own this laptop and love it. I picked it up a few weeks ago for $1299 with the 4060 and the single key keyboard. The one thing that’s very hidden is the support. This model is the only one that is sold with basic support although there are other sections of the advertisement that says all alienware come with premium support. Not true.

Non-soldered ram, easy SSD access, and replaceable Wi-Fi is a big win. But, in the end we see that there's really not much point in buying a 4070 vs a 4060. If you want to spend more, buy a 4080 laptop.

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).

In your review you said the m16 R2 supports USB-C charging but that doesn't seem to be the case. I bought it based on this however, and I somewhat regret as have to haul this massive power brink around. While I knew USB-C Charging would never provide full charging I was expecting at least something but that is not case. What were you using the charge the unit on USB-C, charger brand name and wattage so I can get one of those to use.

Somehow the 17“ class of laptops got ditched and we get 16“ and 18“.

Not only that but have lower specs in terms of CPU and GPU compared to some other options in the market.

That CPU hitting 93C whilst sustaining 50W isn't that impressive imo, last year's (thicker) Legion Pro 7i could sustain 80W in stress tests at just over 80C. Last year's Legion Slim 7i could sustain 45W on the CPU at about 80C too. A 320 nits screen again just isn't good enough dell, they clearly don't want us to buy their gaming laptops or thinner lighter stuff like their XPS lineups. 😂

Yeah I agree about the temp sustain. After some stress tests on my laptop I managed to get a 13900HX to sustain 90C at 115W but that’s more than likely as a result of the undervolt. This laptop not being able to push 50 Watts without almost throttling can be a bit unfortunate for cpu intensive workloads but things could be tinkered with.

I own a m16 r1 13900hx 4080 32gb and i had a m16r2 4070 16core for 5 days. The smaller form factor was interesting for me. but i sent it back, because the performance is so much worse... this is a serious downgrade from the r1. and it looks like a normal laptop. conclusion: if everything u need is a compact and mobile laptop, then buy another laptop than the r2. There are much better and cheaper options. If u like the alienhead so much, then put a sticker on it. If u want a powerhouse of a laptop with a unique look and u are able to afford a backpack which can fit this laptop (17" bag, nothing really speacial) then take the r1. For me personally the r2 has no reason to exist. Too expensive for a normal laptop, to weak for an alienware gaming laptop.

I have a completely different question not relates to this vedio but asking sir in the new processors the ryzen 8845hs and intrl i7 14700hx does the synthetic benchmark scores really show the difference in performance truly or is the real world performance difference between both totally different from the synthetic benchmark number differences

Thanks as always Jarrod. Really disappointing. I thought these new Ultra chips would have offered more.

I think someones peeing on our legs...

@@warriorsfg yeah i understand u. My desktop is an AW aurora r4 from 2013 with some small upgrade. When u get an AW product it's fascinating for some days. But u get used to it very fast and then u don't spend too much attention to it anymore. And 1 bad thing about AW desktops: They look really fancy (for me the aurora r4 case is the most beautiful case ever built), but the performance is crap. They can"t cool their desktop systems right and you lose tons of performance because of high teperatures in the whole system. Or for the m16 r1 laptop: it looks so cool from the back. but when do you see ur machine from behind? NEVER!!!! And from the front its a normal laptop with rgb keyboard :D For laptops i would buy an alienware, but never a desktop again. Apple: i have a 2013 13" macbook pro with linux mint for my mother. it is a beast for daily tasks :D i don"t like apple, but this device is the perfect fit for my mum xD

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.
