New mic setup again and back in 4k! I have a mic boom coming soon so I can get rid of the table boom. I'll be doing a full review in the next few days. What would you like to see in the review? Let me know what you think!
Glad I could help, I thought this one would be a bit more obtainable version. It is a good one. One of the fastest I have tested even with the lower spec.
Great job on unboxing and review... you neglected to mention its a 330 Wat Power supply other then that, Thanks for sharing, I think this is worth a second look for sure... FYI... you really should contact Dell and send em a link and ask for some free merch or Discount on the next purchase man... this was Well done.
Haha thanks, perhaps in the future. I actually had this one came with the lower end brick, 240watt. I think the higher end spec comes with the 330watt.
@@CETechTips I suppose thats to be expected when dealing with dell... It really is Sad to see a great co like Alienware be swallowed by Dell. I am curious what the original power supply Was... if it was as low end as what dell supply... My experience with dell hasnt been the greatest, so I opted for Acer instead and bought that for a fraction of what I would have paid dell... And very happy with it.
@@CETechTips quick question for ya, since I'm getting the UHD screen at 4k60hz is the refresh rate stuck at 60hz or can I up it when I play at 1080p? Any info greatly appreciated! Thanks again
Great video, thanks for sharing! I just ordered the exact same laptop and same configuration, 1tb SSD, 16 GB RAM, i7-10750h processor, RTX 2070 graphics card and the 300 Hz screen... I can't wait to get my hands on it and try some new games! I'm really hoping I won't have any problems with it overheating whether it's when I'm gaming or just surfing/streaming etc. How do I check the thermals? Thanks again!
which one has a better screen ge66 or m15/17?? I wanna buy ge66 but I'm confused because of the 15 inch screen! especially For editing and programming... should I go for it?!
If you need something now, get a 2070 Super. If you can wait do that. I suspect that the new 30-series mobile will be really good. But I don't think any will be out until 2021.
hey bro? i have ordered alienware m17 r3 its gonna ship to me in 3 days. i just want to know how this laptop is? performance wise? and everything? and have you faced any issue since you got this?
Does the alienware come with Microsoft apps......I want to order one but I'm not including the part where I should pay for Microsoft word, excel , powerpoint and so on..... would the laptop still come with those apps??
hello can you please tell me what were the maximum temperatures in games on the asus rog g17 laptop (intel i7 10750h with rtx 2060). And did you have liquid metal instead of thermal paste on the test of this laptop?
Actually the G-series comes with liquid metal as there default paste from ASUS. Which is pretty awesome! I was hitting around 85C on GPU and 90C on CPU.
That's why they use a copper cooling system. But here's what weirdly poked Intel in their 10 series processors is very strange, the temperature jumps even in the best laptops with good cooling
Just bought this same configuration! Would love to see a Rust benchmark for that game. Its so hard to find any benchmarks for Rust considering it's a fairly niche game.
@@geriesdaou822 Only if you need battery life, the 300hz panel doesn't allow the use of the integrated GPU. So battery life suffers. Only around 90 minutes with light tasks.
Hello, could you confirm the weight on this unit? Dell has the spec on this computer as 5.5 lbs but I saw a video review of this laptop were it was placed on a weighing scale and it showed 6.5 lbs. That's a big difference from what Dell says the weight is.
Can we see a size comparison between M15 and this one? I know M17 is bigger but having both next to each other or one on top of another can give us an idea about how massive it is.
@@CETechTips thank u. I won't buy it. It's hard to make ur laptop reach dell company in some countries just like mine and with reparing it may cost a fortune and that is a big disadvantage. They should have thought about their costumers in middle east
@@CETechTips is it possible for soldered rams to fail just liks ordinary rams??? Or they have made it like this because they are sure that this ram won't ever fail except of some one damaged it on purpose
I would say they are on par, both were very sturdy as you would expect in this category. However Dell does have a better coating on the unit that keeps fingerprints away.
The only difference is when you go for the rtx 2080 Super. M15 has a 2080S max q at 90 watts and M17 have full power 2080S at 150 watts. They are exactly the same the m17 has very slightly better cooling due to its size.
Hi Calvin, (It's Calvin right?, if it's not your name I'm sorry for my confussion) Can you make a comparission video between Alienware m15 r3 and Asus zephryus G14. If you want you can use m17 too but the seize difference wouldn't make it a fair comparisson.
@@AksuCihan Thanks, I am much more happy with my latest, really like the B roll on this one. Still more tweaks to do on the editing but I think it is moving in the right directions. Thanks for the support!
Hey, I was considering Alienware m17/m15 or asus g15 or hp omen 15 or tuf a15. I liked that you have got reviews on all of these.

The audio is coming along great! I feel like a 17" would be a great option if you don't move around a lot and just want a reasonably portable gaming unit. Definitely not for lap use!
I just got mine and it’s the same setup as yours. Only thing is when I’m playing a game on ultra or high settings my cpu is running up in the 90s Celsius. I e engage a cooling pad. Is that normal temps???
I am still testing on my side, I'll have the review up in a couple more days. That said yes it does get up there out of the box. Undervolting can really help here, I saw 15C lower temps.

does it support power delivery via the type C, im mobile everywhere and carry a few powered delivery portable chargers
Yes this does!
My Alienware m15 r3 lasts 3 hours in the lowest battery consumption setting when unplugged. Is this normal? It is only maximum around 2 months old
This was my experience as well. You are actually getting a bit more than me. I was 2.5hrs I believe.
which one has a better screen ge66 or m15/17??
I wanna buy ge66 but I'm confused because of the 15 inch screen! especially For editing and programming...
should I go for it?!
What is your concern, colour accuracy? It has nearly 100% of the sRGB. Either are really good.
@@CETechTips Thanks , it was REALLY helpful for me :)
what do you recommend
Should i buy this laptop with rtx 2070 or wait for laptop with rtx 3000 series ?

Actually the G-series comes with liquid metal as there default paste from ASUS. Which is pretty awesome! I was hitting around 85C on GPU and 90C on CPU.
@@CETechTips woahh!! Thats insane to include that stock. I've seen how the liquid metal can destroy aluminum ive never tried it myself

I was thinking about getting the same specs but with 32gb ram and i7-10875H cpu, so do you recommend getting it ?
That is a good spec. Just be aware of the 300hz panel and the low battery life.

Certainly, the lowest weight this model can come in at is 5.5lbs, max weight is 6.6lbs depending on the configuration.
Best review I have seen along with your review with the m15 r3. 👍👍👍👍
Thanks I appreciate that! Glad you enjoy it!
hello friend very good video. How do you know if the gpu is the rtx 2070 super or just 2070?
If you right click on the desktop click on the NVIDIA Control Panel, click on System Information in the bottom left. Should be right there.
One of the best reviews out there! Keep up the good work! Will you compare this beast to Razer Blade pro 17?

Very nice
Is it better to get i9 vs i7 ❓
I don't notice a big difference between the two for gaming.

Thanks
In general which form factor do you prefer 15 or 17 inch laptops ?
I prefer 15", I find that the 17s are too big for mobility.
Can we see a size comparison between M15 and this one? I know M17 is bigger but having both next to each other or one on top of another can give us an idea about how massive it is.
Sorry already sent the m15 back. It is quite a big heavier. Still think the m15 is the sweet spot for size.
@@CETechTips Thanks man. I just saw like a $100 different between the two on a same configuration but I think the same M15 is a better size
@@axelrivera6461 I agree it is a good sweet spot.
If the ram is not removable what will happen if it fails because ram fails some type and in other laptops u can easily replace it?
Specially in some countries like mine.. Its hard to contact the company and to send the laptop back to them
You would need to send it back to them for replacement. This is a flaw with the design unfortunately.

Great video as always! How does the build quality compare to that of a Razer Blade?
I would say they are on par, both were very sturdy as you would expect in this category. However Dell does have a better coating on the unit that keeps fingerprints away.

Would be great to focus on the differences between the 15 and 17 inch!
The only difference is when you go for the rtx 2080 Super. M15 has a 2080S max q at 90 watts and M17 have full power 2080S at 150 watts. They are exactly the same the m17 has very slightly better cooling due to its size.
