I got a very bad experience with Alienware. Make sure your Alienware M16 does not get stuttered when watching youTube videos. So just check it carefully!! Especially with mute and unmute button may cause video stuttering. I think the problem is from the mainboard.
@@nikhilrmahi I would recommend you waiting for the next generation. Don't buy gaming laptop in 2024. Or if you want to buy it, please wait untill it is on sale at least $300
it gets stuttering issues when playing yt videos.i was searching whats wrong with it. can you please explain the issue here and what needs to be done? im a bit worried.
I just got the m16 r2 2024 model with the i9 ultra 32 gigs of ram and the 4070. Gotta say for everytging i want out of it it does it all will it replace a desktop no never but for more casual gamers that want to play AAA titles on the go it runs like a dream and the fact i can upgrade the ddr5 ram to 64 GB and the ssd supports upto 8TB over 2 drives is great intodays world were 1 game can be up to a TB by its self with the add on etc.
Not just laptops. Almost all electronics are more expensive in Europe than America. I think it is mostly a marketing scheme rather than "justing for the market." It could also be when you buy certain electronics they are currently here in the U.S. the. Needs to be shipped so they are adjusting for the cost
I got the ultra 7 with the 4070 from best buy open box for $950 the only thing is that it didn't have the charger so they actually ordered me a charger for free. It is an amazing laptop and I am super happy with the performance
Would be a nice extra or a little bit more helpful to know the SD card version for speeds and also the same for the ethernet port is it typical one gig or has it been upgraded to the new 2.5 gig?
I saw the screen in person. 300 nits is a downer regardless. In todays laptop you need especially with 240hz screen a higher nit brightness is also a must. That was one of the main reason why I turned away from the m16 r2 and got the Lenovo legion 7i 4070 i9. It’s a beast . Far better time than the Alienware.
I can buy the Lenovo 7i for 15-17 hundred on Lenovo with a 4070, 32gb ram, and 14th gen i9..... Just wish they sold the white edition because if I want white I have to pay more through other retailers.
Yes the i9 va the 9 ultra is a difference plus alienware name RGB etc etc.. plus this laptop is as of today Oct 7 2024 on sale for 1700 on bestbuy website with the 9 the 4070 and 32 GB DDR5 ram on 2x16 GB chips
@@jasonhorn5976 Still shows 2000 for me. Only one that's a descent price right now is the 4060 on Lenovo website for $1350. From past experience, I've been able to use coupons on top of the sale which would bring it down another $100. Anyway, I already decided to skip this gen because of the problem with their CPU. Here's hoping they bring back the white with their new models.
The M16 is more comparable to the Yoga Pro 9i in terms of specs, IMO. But on a side note, from your experience, does an upgrade from the RTX 4060 to RTX 4070 result in a significant performance increase in Blender and Resolve if everything else is identical? Also, is i9 really need? Or will i7 suffice for most use cases?
i7 is enough for most if not all use cases, upgrading to i9 would only be incremental at best, on the other hand 4060 to 4070 would be rather noticeable around 20-30% performance increase
@@jacjankowski6180m16r2 is one of the few laptops that cna actually maximise the rtx 4070 without blowing up so it's a significant improvement to 4060. On other laptops you areprobably correct though
That and the 300 nits screen are the only 2 down sides to this laptop but if I'm honest I'll just hook up a keyboard, mouse, monitor so they arnt that much of a deal breaker

Thanks for the review, I recently purchased this laptop due to the build quality is amazing, the 300 nits does not bother me as much because for the most part I am using this inside and not outside. IMO you cannot see a difference between this and a laptop that offers a 400nits+.
@@badalsaibo my honest opinion, in game play its just as loud as any other gaming rig. I have a cooling mat and I've been playing on balance and it's been performing like butter and it's not loud at all.

Hello, I'm currently a Lenovo user, I have a Legion 5i Core i7 10th gen, 16 gb ram, Nvidia RTX 2060; bought on 2021 and I want to change my laptop, mostly because I had an issue when whenever I close my laptop and open it again, it's like it just get in a dark screen and doesn't respond and I have to keep pressing the on button to reset it, is so stressful.

I have an alienware m16r2, however mine is specs are the ultra 7, and the rtx 4060. idk if you'd want my opinion tho this is my first gaming pc in general.

So strange to me how laptop prices in america are sometimes 400$ cheaper than in europe. THe same model costs 1984 euros to me..
Literally 1984
My guess is Nvidia is America' company, and dell is also America's company, so.... there is no customs clearance for the product
And like 800-900€ more in my non-EU country, at least
