The Unbelievable Gaming Laptop - Alienware Area 51M Review

[@Thuazabi]

I actually really like the format of this video. Having multiple personalities on a video can actually be a bit refreshing if done like it was here (pros & cons, etc). That's not to say that every video should be like this, but I do you think it's something that should be explored.

[@Kinkajou1015]

Agreed. I'm usually cool with one person spitting out all the information, but it's nice on occasion to have two people bouncing things off of each other and keeping the viewer engaged with multiple voices so you don't drone them out.

[@phillipmorales8213]

Actually I think this will work GREAT for all review videos. Everyone all has their own biases so having others give their opinions on what you'd personally call shit or lit is great for a review!

[@nadaotk]

Yes.

[@alexfown217]

I agree totally, it's refreshing to get two voices in on video. Fantastic!

[@Supermanohman]

It also allows them to make more videos about more things, adding variety to the channel

In games with good sli support and not using latest api like vulcan/dx12 but instead dx11, those dual 1080s in the 21x will beat the shit out of the 2080 in the 51m provided there's no cpu bottleneck posed by that mere 4c/8t 45w garbage laptop cpu inside the 21x.

Im using the area 51m right now. Exact same spec (just in black). Yes, the cpu does hit 100 degrees IF you overclock it to 5GHz, I overclocked my to 4.3 and it never goes over 80. The touchpad is fine for me personally, i love the fact that its glass. I find it feels smooth and the gestures work fine for me, they dont feel at all janky. You make it sound like theres no mid-ground between performance mode (much higher fan speed) and quiet mode (much lower fan speed), but there is and you didnt mention it. Theres balanced mode which is the perfect mid-ground, no performance loss due to thermal throttling but also the fans are not too bad (no where near as loud as when in performance). You make it sound like its not portable at all, theres the vindicator 2.0 (alienwares 17 inch backpack) that it fits snugly in, theres even a separate pouch for the power supplies. Also, one last thing, you make it sound like you cant use it with one power supply but you can use it just fine, yes it will be throttled but i can game happily on it with just one power supply or even just on battery.

I use this one for work. When you are spending a lot of time at two locations for prologned periods of time, having a desktop replacement which you can game on and work on, means you don't need carry your work laptop, dedicated laptop for gaming, and having a gaming desktop back at home. An this thing does crush heavy workloads (compiling, running servers, etc.) So excited that I got it, since it replaces my 2012 gaming desktop. Pair it with a good gaming mouse and good headphones, you got yourself a nice portable gaming desktop. Setup. The power bricks will (other than the laptop) be the two heaviest things in your backpack, but for my use case, for work I can carry just one with me, and leave the other one wherever it is I am staying. Still works damn good with one power brick plugged in (on Ubuntu, for software development). Also, I used to use a Dell laptop for work so always had a USB-C dock to plug into the laptop, and the power bricks from those, are compatible with Alienware 51m - this thing has so much IO you might not even need the old Docks if you had them. The upgredability is nice as well, though I have yet to open it up. Will probably stick to a portable Steam library enclosure for gaming so I have one less thing to carry with me to work and back. All in all, 8/10 ... any higher and it would've been a desktop.

YES !!! And if you REALLY want to take advantage of portable high-powered laptops, is to use flexible or roll-up solar blankets you can spread around your campsite or camp vehicle to charge your Li-Ion Batteries or directly use your devices in off-grid situations. See list of best solar blankets: www.mygenerator.com.au/blog/best-camping-solar-blankets/ It seems out of all the one reviewed, the one with the most flexible and rugged design still having high power capability, is the 90-watt Engel Power Film Solar Foldable which has the 3 year warranty on it. It's ruggedness makes it the best of the lot. www.mygenerator.com.au/solar-blankets/f/brands_engel.html The below one is a tad expensive but 4 of them packed away in your camper van could power a LOT of devices even in low light such as in Winter-time Canada or mountainous Montana! www.mygenerator.com.au/engel-power-film-foldable-90-watt.html The KEY ISSUE is ruggedness and low-light capability. THAT are the two features you need in portable/foldable solar cell blankets for direct power use or battery recharge purposes. In my personal opinion, you need AT LEAST 350 watts and preferably 500 watts to adequately live off-grid using solar power only when charging batteries and during direct-power usage. If you can afford it 750 to 1000 watts would allow you to use MULTIPLE devices such as laptop, portable refrigerator, TV, and cell phone all at once for a VERY PLEASANT off-grid experience! .

this is actually one of the most entertaining episodes of Linus Tech Tips. Seriously cool. You guys rock !

[@nowonmetube]

Next video "Can This DESKTOP Replace a LAPTOP???"

[@PrimeRsoul]

No way I'll be paying this much money to experience "long, smooth strokes",..... on a keyboard.

[@silverado_vila]

The team has been doing a great job, so I think they should have more screen time. Linus must be proud!

[@carloscabral7950]

$4500 for 1080p gaming? That just doesn't make sense.

[@ixionn563]

1440p would be nice on something this size

[@carloscabral7950]

@Bjørn Wikan The issue is that your paying premium for 1080p gaming. There are other premium options. 1080p isn't acceptable at that tier.

[@carloscabral7950]

@@ixionn563 I think its mandatory.

[@Lex-Rex]

@Bjørn Wikan Not really considering you need a fucking backpacking backpack to carry the damn thing in.

[@megalith]

If you don't travel a lot. Yes. If you are always within reach of your house. Yes. Otherwise, makes perfect fucking sense. Oh and if anyone compares this to BGA gaming notebooks. Please hold your tongue. Just talk to me when your board completely dies and you cannot salvage your CPU easily. I will give you an earnest laugh from the bottom of my heart.

[@Lib3rator13]

Really enjoyable to have more non-linus videos now.

[@Ihavegumgum]

wow! Sound in this episode is great! Much better than Linus screaming.

[@4FYTfa8EjYHNXjChe8xs7xmC5pNEtz]

He actually tones down the screaming and pops a couple tranquilizers to do the videos.

[@TheCatpirate]

But can it replace a laptop too?

[@noah_the_nerd]

Tbh, not really

[@gamesandsoftwares1441]

Not with that battery life and w weight

[@emukiller1985]

You are my absolute favorite LTT employee man. You are the most knowledgeable and seem so trustworthy. Also you don't drop stuff.

[@fredrikgit]

Alienware laptop, UFO intro. Great.

[@crispy-k]

Gotta admit, i went from a 100 to 0 real quick 1:19 xD Nice vid ;) as always.

[@skvltdmedia]

Never will I forget a time I tested out a 15" Strix RoG that aside from thermally shutting down with lid closed, but came with a smaller-than-minimum PSU so gaming hard would drain the battery slowly.

[@cubaze5170]

Who would get a gaming laptop just to use the trackpad anyway? I get it, traveling and stuff but there are portable mice too? Maybe laptop makers should just remove the trackpad and just include a mouse instead.

[@arthurwulfwhite8282]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I literally don't need a keyboard or a mouse! I really like the Asus Mothership concept. Just sell a freaking mobile AIO ffs and bundle a mouse a wireless keyboard for people who need/want it! The whole trackpad tradition is wearing think especially on 2000$+ laptops.

[@alhadinon]

I do not get it with all the Webcam quality specs, what do you define as excellent or crap? I do not think this webcam is "half decent" regarding todays standards, its 30fps at most and looks a bit blurry to me. Could you please make a video about your objective and subjective testing methods and specs you analyze to compare to components of different machines to each other? 😏 would be interesting.

[@LetsSmokeAboutIt]

This is something I've caught onto as well, they *often* make note of and mention the webcams on laptops and I cannot make heads or tails of how they go about reviewing them beyond someone asking if they checked it, and someone else saying "yup it's fine" or "yup it's bad". They need to develop some kind of standard for this as they don't even typically mention the specs. I will say that they generally show an example of the video and mic audio, and perhaps that's the most important part, but some cohesion between reviews would really be nice as sometimes things that look/sound like crap webcams are a "good" to them and while others look/sound great to me they're calling a negative to the laptop. I don't get it and I hope they improve. I'm also not looking for a laptop, so I don't really care about this from a position of personal frustration about not knowing what to buy, I just get annoyed with these sorts of things and then write about it on the internet.

[@MarkFunderburk]

@@LetsSmokeAboutIt I agree 100%

really like this way of making videos please don't let this be the last time you do it this way

Finally (still waiting for ROG Mothership to be released)

[@CarolusBuchwurm]

Eyecandy but in all seriousness I'll stick with self-built PCs, it's just soooo much cheaper.

[@prom3607]

same even if i never have room ill find the way to make room for once if i had 4500 for a laptop id just build an amazing pc

[@HentaiNat]

The point of laptops is portability. Oh wait...
