ALIENWARE LAPTOP REVIEW - Gaming Computer For Designers & Architects *honest review after 2 years*
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 чер 2024
- Today I'm reviewing my Alienware Gaming Laptop M15 - R3 after 2 years that I use daily (at least 8hrs a day) for 3D modeling, drafting, video editing, presentations, etc. As an architect designer, I use all kinds of software you can imagine: Autodesk Revit, Lumion, Adobe Premiere, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Indesign, Adobe Photoshop, and many more. I am very well aware that this is an expensive computer, but to make my job easier, I need a powerful machine that allows me to run multiple software at the same time without experiencing any lag or inconvenience. I don't think my Alienware M15-R3 is still sold on the Dell website but I found a few on Amazon.

We just received our fully specced x17 r2 with the 4k screen yesterday and it's fantastic!!!
That’s awesome!! I can’t wait to get my hands on the x17. How’s the heat/ noise?
@@malbeldesigns Alienware always has heat but there made to handle it. That's cause they don't put limits on it. You can reduce the heat and noise if you reduce the power thru there Alienware software profiles.
@@malbeldesigns Some interesting results. There is absolutely 0 difference for 4k gaming performance if you run the cpu at max 5.1ghz boost vs clocking it down to 3.6 ghz and undervolting to the maximum possible. Not a frame of difference. I've tried a cpu intensive game like total Warhammer 3 as well and still I get the exact same results in terms of fps. The main difference is that the temps lower significantly, creating some headroom for gpu overclocking or just simply, lower operating temps.
In contrast, just undervolting without limiting the max clock is the way to go for productivity. Cinebench R23 at 18400+ and 1900+ is desktop level ryzen 5900x performance. The noise seems fine. Not audible at balanced and audible at performance and higher. Bare in mind im used to custom watercooled rigs which is near-silent at the highest possible overclocks. For my use case ill run at 3.6 with max undervolt since theres no performance difference and ill switch to 4.8ghz max for premiere pro rendering etc.
Review in progress so stay tuned 😊
Check out some early pics:

Great video and thanks for commenting and outlining some of the more technical aspects like over clocking, etc. Cheers.
@@lnb4kgaming435 thank you for sharing, this is very helpful! Also, the photo of your setup looks amazing🤩
Dell customer service is amazing, that's something I really appreciate about them. Their laptops are though too
Thanks for the review
Thanks so much. This was real and useful.
You’re welcome:)
I have an Alienware X17 R2 and have had it for a little over 6 yrs now. It handles two versions of Revit open at the same time plus AutoCAD when I need to cross-reference between files. It has had a couple of blue screens, but otherwise good laptop to have. I do agree with you regarding getting more memory as Revit and the other programs you're using do take up much.
That’s so awesome!! Yea the blue screens are inevitable.. forgot to mention that in the video but it’s a windows problem not Alienware.
how the hell did you get the alienware x17 r2 6 years ago when it was released last year?
do you have a time machine? the x17 r2 was released just around a year ago
Bro I don’t think that came out 6 yrs ago
4th January 2022 was the release date.
Great video! You are probably really busy to make too many performance videos, but users who do what we do need to hear more about hardware and performance. So many UA-camrs make videos for content creators, and I don't know of anyone who makes them to show performance with Revit, Lumion and the heavy design/rendering programs. They all like to mention "architects" but none of them do any testing on programs that we deal with that you mentioned. If I knew how to make videos I would do them but have not gotten there yet! I run Lumion on my Alienware desktop with RTX2080ti and it flies but want a laptop to do all the modeling work and then the long 12-20 hour animation renders I will do on my desktop so my laptop doesn't deal with all that heat for such a long amount of time. BTW...when you order your machine, just remember that the high resolution 4k screen on your new laptop is going to affect the framerates in Lumion so you will have some performance drop. I wanted to mention something that may help you. I don't know if Google drive works like Dropbox in this way, but in Dropbox, you can do what is called selective sync which means you tell Dropbox what files you actually want to be locally saved for offline access to your computer or something like that. It is a great way for you to not use all your storage on archived work or work you do not really access. You can free up a ton of storage space if Google drive works this way, so you aren't hogging up storage on your local disc with stuff that you don't need to access but don't want to lose either. Hope that makes sense. Anyways good luck and I hope to see your video of your new machine!
Thank you so much for watching :) and thanks for letting me know about the 4k performance drop. Would you say the drop is significant? Cause I would prefer better performance over 4k if I can skip the 4k option. Also, I will look into the dropbox, I don’t think google drive has that (not that I know of) by the way, what desktop do you have? My brother (a software engineer) keeps recommending me a desktop for all the long video renderings too but I wasn’t sure about the specs.
@@malbeldesigns I have noticed using a 4k monitor compared to a non 4k monitor I can get somewhere around 25% better framerates which equates to a smoother experience. This happens when I do it on my laptop too which can make a difference but if you are not using a lot of vegetation in your models like I am, it may not even be very noticeable to you. And depending on how you use layers in Lumion, that can help you a lot too. Battery life on the non 4k is going to be much better too if you are doing some things with it on the go and can't plug in to power. Lumion really recommends not getting 4k displays so you have the best performance possible...a sluggish model is so annoying!! I have an Alienware Aurora desktop with RTX 2080ti / 32gb of ram/ i9-9900k processor/liquid cooled and I can't remember what wattage power supply it is, but it is the biggest they make for this machine. It tears through things really well but there are def some newer cards that are more powerful. Your brother is right about getting a desktop for long renders. Running long renders on a laptop is going to produce a lot of heat which could throttle the GPU and slow down the render taking it longer to cook. Desktop GPUs are so much more powerful and will reduce your render times by quite a bit. You also can be letting a machine cook an animation while you are still working on another project. I don't know how laptops handle running 15-20 hours straight running a render with the GPU maxed out like Lumion will do. You can find really good deals on Dell refurbished for these desktops all the time and save quite a bit of cash and still get a 1-year warranty. Hope this helps and not confusing!
@@malbeldesigns Hey! I wanted to see if you got your new computer yet?!
@@duchenedesignsolutions7036 Not yet, I will make another video once I get it.
I'm also an civil engineer and i was thinking about Alienware m15 r3 like that .. i searched all videos reviews to know if anyone using it in heavy engineering programs but all of them talking about games only except you 🙏😄 you encourage me to buy it now thank you so much 🙏❤️ I made subscribe to your channel and I will be happy to watch your videos 😍🤝
I use a m17 r5 for computational physics, and it is excellent for this use. If you live in the states, Dell has m17r5 with 3070ti for 1300. If you use 10% off coupon it comes out to $1250.
@@learnmathwithme3864 oh my goodness it is a good offer but i didn't live in the states 😕
Yay! Glad this was helpful :)
@@malbeldesigns it was very useful thank you so much 🙏❤️
Thanks you so much for this, very helpful ❤
You’re welcome :)
How funny, I was working with PS, LC, Br, YT, AE, and I was thinking how fast this thing is when I saw your video😅. I am having hard time stopping myself from closing apps because that is what I used to do with my old one😂🤣. I did not know that the lighting consume that much power because they are LED's. I did have to buy some flappity tabs to raise it and keep it cool cuz this thing gets 🔥🔥🔥🔥♨♨. BTW, it's a X17 R2 maxed out. Great vid...and it was the first vid I ever watch of you! .........and I had just about all the ports hooked up with other hard drives as well.
The trauma of constantly wanting to close the tabs is real 😂 especially after a slow computer. For the lights, that was just my theory.. When I have them on, they drain my battery when unplugged so it could be just me 🤷🏻♀️
I have the fully loaded X17 R2 with 3080ti and it's way faster than my previous workstation desktop. I mainly use the laptop for all my rendering and design. Autodesk, adobe, 3Ds Max and VRAY. I
highly recommened this for any architecture work.
I’m very excited for my X17 😍
faster than rtx3080ti desktop?
@@eygs493 The 3080ti is comparable to a desktop 3070. Overclocked with MSI After Burner it is slightly faster than the desktop 3070.
why did you not go for MSI titan or Asus Rog strix Scar SE? they are both more powerful than x17 Alienware.
@@batmanonholiday4477 Unfortunately, they were not available when I needed the laptop for work. My job provided me with the MSI creater Z16P, but I still prefer using my X17-R2.
At this point, I'm just going to wait until AW has a 12900HX option next year.
Wow! What a great and honest review. I am eyeing on the Alienware x15 R2 (i9, RTX 3080 Ti). Initially, I wanted the x17 R2 but I've never really use it for client presentations because my current 17" laptop is hooked up to 34" & 24" monitors. I'm going to the Autodesk University 2022 next week in New Orleans and maybe buy the x15 there (Dell has a booth) with a discount. We'll see. Give Enscape a try. It's fast and updates automatically with Revit. Thanks for this review!
Thanks for watching :) that would be great to get a discount from dell..And yes, Enscape is great too. I have friends that use it on their Alienware and it runs so smooth.
Hi Malik! I ended up buying the Alienware x17 R2 (i9 processor, RTX 3080 Ti, 32 RAM, 2TB SSD). Fantastic laptop!
@@mtavegas Yaay!! That’s awesome, glad to hear.
Loved your video very cool
Thanks for watching :)
A great real life use example instead of the standard bench BS ... very refreshing ... I have one on order as well as using a new 16" MacBook Pro ... Obviously I plan on using them for different projects
Thank youu :) hope you enjoy your Alienware.
You should buy a X17 R1 for a fraction of the price. I never buy the brand new flagship, I always go for the closest previous version. I bought a completely maxed out X17 R1 for only $2500. It's i9, 3080, 64gb ddr4 ram and 2tb of hard drive. This thing was originally around $4500 when it first came out and just because I waited for a year, I was able to get it for almost half the price
Thanks you for the tip, Diego! The price drops alot huuh, and for the performance you don’t think there’s that much difference?
I was abducted by Aliens.
Great video, just what i searched for, but i still cannot decide between Alienware x17 R2, Dell XPS 17 (9720) or Legion 7i Gen7 (not 4k) all with Intel i7, RTX 3070 ti, 32gb ram and 1 TB but the XPS 17 only has the RTX 3060 (6 gb vram). I've been very happy with my previous XPS's so it's a bit hard for me to switch!
But which of these 3 would you recommend for a student using AutoCAD revit, Inventor, Enscape and Photoshop?
Thank you!
Thanks for watching :) I have used a dell and Lenovo before, they weren’t great especially when it comes to enscape (to be fair, they didn’t have great specs, no nvidia RTX, etc) so maybe with the specs you mentioned they might perform better. If you’re still a student, I wouldn’t go for the most expensive option because by the time you graduate your needs might change. But again, I’m biased I like my Alienware haha
Yeah i agree with you on most of the points you made in this video. I was about to go for the asus pro art studio book oled 16 but was a bit sceptical about it. But Alienware better in terms of dealing with heavy workloads so hence why im opting for that. Plus im not 100% convinced about the asus in terms of cooling. The only thing i wished Alienware did was have an oled screen that would be a game changer for creators. Dell customer service was 💯 when it came to buying or fixing a laptop compared to the asus as they didnt know much about the pro art lol
I just had someone asking about the Asus duo pro last week in the comments below and I wasn’t sure how to compare it to Alienware. I’ve never used any Asus products, I’m glad you’re enjoying your Alienware :)
Idk how Alienware products are now, but I have an Alienware 15 r3 laptop as well. I got it a few years ago around its release and it has work well for a year but than it started to buffer / stutter in certain games such as call of duty, overwatch, fortnite, valorant, etc. It has done this for so years now for high fps games. It works fine for games like roblox and minecraft (most of the time) and usual computer stuff like google, writing, etc. I would not advise getting this laptop if your hoping to get a “gaming computer”.
Aw I’m really sorry to hear, thank you for sharing! I’m not a gamer but I’m assuming games are much heavier than any 3D design software. What would be a good alternative for a “gaming laptop”? Because I know gamers are watching this video as well not just architects and designers.
😊Keep going mam thank you
Thanks :)
@@malbeldesigns good job the x17 r 2 has removable ram not soldered like the x15 r2. But not like it matters cause your getting the max 64 gb.
@@erfgthygreas1709 aw that’s great!! I didn’t know that. Thank you :)
Привет! Я купил этот ноутбук и не могу нарадоваться. Он очень мощный для проектирования. Я тоже проектировщик и мне его хватит ещё на долго. Правда я провёл только один апгрейд с ним. Установил новый SSD-диск.
This video helped me. Can you suggest me which laptop is good for beginners in architecture?.... Nice explanation. Even you are fantastic in your work.... Cheers🥂
Thank you :) If you’re still in college and on a tight budget, I would say use whatever you have in your school computer lab but If you’re ready to invest in a good computer go for an Alienware (maybe lower specs, since you don’t need a high performing computer JUST YET)
@@malbeldesigns Thanks Malak Bellajdel
❤❤❤
Did you get the X17 R2? If so, how do you like it? Mine was a bad one. Dell replaced it with the M18, and upgraded me from a 3080 to a 4090. I love the M18. It has much better cooling.
I’m still waiting for my M15 to completely shut down but it’s still going strong so I’m postponing my upgrade until I really have to. I’m curious, why the X17 was bad? Is it just because of the cooling?
@@malbeldesigns Yes, definitely the cooling. It cooked itself.
Nice video. Make sure you get the premium support plus.
Yup, That's the plan!
Hello Malak, I'm a car designer so I work a lot 2D/3D.
I'm just wondering wich workstation should I buy between the Alienware and the Asus duo pro, both with max specs.
If you have some feedback I'll apreciate
A car designer..Sooo cool!! I’ve never used Asus, I don’t think they are very popular (in the USA) for handling heavy graphics & 3D unlike the reputation Alienware/ Razer/ MSI have. I’m assuming you use Blender, SolidWorks, 3Dsmax? Those tend to be heavy.
@@malbeldesigns Yes I am 😉
Grazie mille Malak!
I use lot of Photoshop for 2D, and Alias, VRed, Unreal Engine etc for 3D modelling and renders.
So I want a powerful one, with no compromise and I want to be sure I'll choose the right one.
@@gianluigicicolella2882 the Asus you mentioned looks badass for sure but I’m very biased, I love my Alienware!! It’s definitely a tough decision, it took me 2 months to finally decide on mine.
hey there fellow PSG fan...I just got my first Alienware..it's the X14...wish me luck...hope this survives for the next half a decade...
PSG 💪.. Enjoy, let us know how you like it :)
Still going good? I need to know because I’m getting one soon
@@user-bw4fj9cn8r going good
Adter listening to the software youbsaid you run I'm wondering if you might benefit from using an Asus ProArt machijg running a gpu specific for rendering (like the A6000 or the Nvidia RTX 4080 - NOT to be confused with the Nvidia GeForce 4080).
Humm I never heard of it! I just Googled it quickly and the price tag is up there with Alienware (somehow I thought Asus would be a more affordable alternative but I guess not 🤷🏻♀️)
@@malbeldesigns yeah Asus is an expensive choice. Or can be. I got a zenbook for portability but went with Alienware for my powerhouse computer. I feel like if you buy an Alienware or a ProArt you have a computer for _years._
@@JustXavier Yaas totally!! I’m itching to update to the one I mentioned in the video but I don’t see the need to do just yet because my current one is still running strong since 2020.
@@malbeldesigns ha! I'm loving the "Yaas!" 😂😂
Cool but for you Alienware x 17
Screen rendu 3D BIM 👌🔝✅
😄hiii . Soo this laptop or a newer version is useful for rendering, or is worth doing archviz rendering in 3dsmax ?
I don’t use 3dsmax but I’m 100% sure it will run smoothly with the specs I showed in my video or a newer version. I just upgraded to an NVIDIA RTX 4080 graphic card and OMG!!

Hi, how many hours does this last without being plugged into the wall at full charge doing lite productivity and web surfing?
Hey! I would say 2hr or less but I think it depends on how old the computer is.
@@malbeldesigns I have heard 5 to 6 hours, 2, 3, one person said 7 hours...of course it depends on use but just internet surfing and using MS Word & Excel only..maybe some light video work
Just bought this one for video editing (DaVinci Resolve).
Nicee!! Is it working smoothly?
Hi idk if you will see my comment, but i just purchased my alienware m15 r7 intel 9 with 32 RAM and 1TB. Do you think its a good computer for arch school?
Yess that’s great!! And it will last you after graduation too if you take good care of it.
@@malbeldesigns do you recommend getting a laptop cooler ?
@@user-el2fm2ws7j Naah no need! I never bought one, as long as you keep your laptop and your battery charger on a hard solid surface while you’re using it you should be fine.

im planning to get alienware but for graphic design only
like photoshop
do you know what is the best alienware model? thanks a lot:)
Huum the cheapest Alienware maybe 🙃 I’m not sure if you need a powerful computer just for graphic design, but I could be wrong. Photoshop is not super heavy (I just do basic photoshop lol)
ohh thanks for the reply
what alienware are you using now mam?
@@tripnikuys8535 I have the M15 R3
my school for 3d art is going to send me an GE76 Raider 11UH-245 17.3, but i just got the x17 just waiting on it i will be using it for rendering Autodesk Maya and Zbrush.. so whats a better program Autodesk Revit or Home Designer Pro? i was looking to get GE76 Raider 11UH-245 17.3 but went with alienware because have an alienware R13 and and it runs like a champ..
Yup, I heard MSI are great too!! Regarding the software, Revit is the industry standard for architects here in the US. I’ve never heard of Home Designer Pro, maybe it’s a DYI type of software for home owners?!
@@malbeldesigns yes. I got my ALIENWARE X17, Obig problem though. has backlight beed in bottom and on top of screen. a tech supose to come to replace it in 3 days... I got the QHD one. I was looking at the msi raider ge67 15 inch comes with OLED display. I think the Next alienware laptop will come with oled display.

Hi! I've also got a similar work profile, planning to buy the M15 R7. Should I go ahead instead of buying an HP Omen of same specs?
I’ve never used (or heard of) the HP Omen but if you’re on the fence about the Alienware, I would say go for it. Worst case, try it for 30 days and return it 🤪 haha
@@malbeldesigns Yeah I went for it. Booked it yesterday! Thanks!
Trust me, the HP Omen has one of the worst cooling system I have ever used. Alienware heats up a bit too sure, but the performance doesn't thermal throttle. HP Omen is cheaper because even though it's got the same specs, the laptop is not built as well as the Alienware.
@@abishek4300 that’s good to know!
@@abishek4300 Hi thanks for sharing your experience. I got the Alienware M15 R7 delivered a few days back, yes it does heat up pretty soon, even while using Chrome with 7-8 tabs! That's what worrying me, and it also got stuck while I switched from Valorant to Chrome. I had to hard restart it as it was totally unresponsive. Thought of returning it, but what other good similar specd option do I have? Very confused.
I am planning to buy alienware m15 r7 rtx 3070ti (140w) , i7 - 12700h with 16gb of ddr5 Ram for 1550 pounds... I'll be upgrading ram to 64 gb as it was way too cheaper to upgrade by myself... Earlier I was gng for a legion but it's costing me arnd 1800 pounds same specs... Any suggestion?? My budget is 1700 pounds, right now for me alienware is quiet a good deal at 1550 pounds . .. Nd it has a pretty premium reputation...ill be using maya , substance painter, ae , ps , pftrack... Presently I do all the stuff of gtx 1050ti 😂
I’ve never used Legion before but I can speak for for Alienware, it’s totally worth the $$ plus it’s within your budget, so I would say go for it :)

Yup that sounds great! That’s plenty for architecture school. Enjoy :)
Hey what’s the name of the revit to lumion plug-in ? 🙏🏻
Hi! It’s called Lumion LiveSync for Revit
What Alienware did you end up going with? I just ordered the x16
Nice!! Hope you’re enjoying your X16. I got the M16, I just posted my updated review.
@@malbeldesigns Loving the X16 still. I use it for both work and professional use and really appreciate how quiet the quiet mode is and still offering great performance. A lot of gaming laptops really stifle there quiet modes performance. Design is amazing too and don't consider it gameresque at all. Will check out your new video tom. Is this a desktop model?

Definitely an UFO 🛸👽
Is plugin name - lumion live sync
Yes, It is Lumion LiveSync
Lumion which version are you using
I’m using Lumion 12.5
i’m lookin at the x17 r2 cant tell if i wanna max the computer out or save money with something cheaper dont care about spending 4.5k for a nice Alienware laptop..
I think it depends on the type of work you do.. the M15 is relatively cheap compared to the X17.
At work I have an Alienware R13 i9 64 ram
And I’m buying another for the home
I think it’s worth it if I’m gonna make money and it will pay for itself
Yup, it’s a great investment if you use it for work!
How will x14 do?
I guess you already know by now that the new Alienware is out with the 13th GEN Intel and the RTX 4000 series I was just getting an M 18 if you want a bigger screen and the ram and the hard drives are upgradable . I would get the smallest amount possible for the SSD and the same for the ram. Alienware wants to charge you too much money for they’re slow RAM and hard drive. The speed of the ram is 4800 MHz and the solid-state drive is not that fast. You can get 5600 MHz ram cheaper than what Alienware wants to sell it to you for and get 64 gig two sticks of 32 gig. And you can get 7000 mbps read solid state drives and you can put four of them in there. This year for CPUs you can either get the AMD 7000 series or Intel 13th generation. The AMD 7000 series may be better for someone like you.
That’s good to know they are upgradable now. How heavy is M18? Ideally the bigger the screen the better but I’m worried it’s too chunky and heavy to move it around.
@@malbeldesigns are chunky beasts. The 18 inch is 8.9 pounds which is not as bad as my last gaming laptop which was 11 pounds. The m16 is 7.17 pounds a little lighter. The X 16 is lighter of course at 6 pounds but has limited CPU options and is not using the fastest 13th GEN Intel it uses the HK version of the processor instead of the HX. And there’s a more expensive as you’re buying a more premium laptop kinda like comparing a typical PC laptop to a MacBook Pro it looks nice, but it’s kind of limited and more expensive for the aesthetics and it being a bit more lighter. Also, the ram is not upgradable as it soldered on to the board on the X series
Just an FYI, you can put in 5600 mhz RAM but the M18 will only acknowledge 5200 mhz of it..Another YTber did a test and showed this...The SSDs can be swapped out too.
there is a thing called desktop,
14 Terabyte Harddrive sounds massive?
4* Terabyte!! I wish they offer 14, I would’ve gotten it 😅 my 3D files are massive.
@@malbeldesigns you Game?
@@jacobeickhardt84 Nope! I’m an architect, I do a lot of 3D designs that’s why I have an Alienware :) not for games
I only buy alienware ever since i was a kid i guess im a fan of them but its always been good but maybe im baised lol but seriously even tho alienware is expensive its more of a status symbol if u line up all laptops if u got alienware u got money lol warning tho if u get the x model u womt have the numpads i dont think so so double check for work
Lol, yup they do cost an arm and a leg but they are so worth it. Money well spent!
Wow that's wild your name is Malak .that's my name too that's Angel in Arabic. Yea I ended up returning my x17 r2 and decided to get the m16. Wanted the m18 but wasn't sure if it fits in my backpack. It's ment for 17 invh laptop so anyways, how you been? Did you ende d up upgrading? Get at me when you get a sec.
Aw yes, my name is Angel as well :) No I haven’t upgraded yet. Waiting to see how my current computer will handle the new Lumion update.
i clicked to watch because of how stunning beautiful she is. i mean the “notebook” of course. 😊
go with razer
Y’all people are rich Alienware is so insanely expensive
It is!! But if you use it for work, it’s a great investment and will pay for itself in a few months. If you use it just for gaming then it basically is an expensive toy :)
Bruh she’s talking of 2500 usd budget and still saying mac is expensive, what?
Do yourself a favor and try the 2020 lowest config mac air and then make another review
I was talking about a Macbook PRO* which could have comparable specs to Alienware. And even then, any apple product will not be compatible with half the architecture and design software.
@@malbeldesigns very true, I now got a Zephyrus G14 thinking that my mb m1 pro is holding me back, now after realizing it , what we don’t normally take consideration is the time it takes the boot the pc, to plug-in them, transfer files, connect printers, portability, power while plugged in or not etc. When I had the MacBook my goal was always to see how fast the battery would drain, once I unplug from the wall it feels like something is missing, also the fans are really like jet engines lmfao.
When I had a mac the only issues are like you stated, unsupported apps. But at this point I think the biggest one holding many architectural needs back is autodesk apps.
And I’ve already got a good workflow without them, never the less non autodesk apps are not the industry standard, and working without them can really be a pain in the neck.
Keep us updated when you get a better one.
