      Please also show a glimpse of temps during gameplay in different modes like balanced, performance and full speed modes. Also it'd be interesting to note how louder the fans get as we move up to higher performance modes.

    I got the m17 r3 with the 4K 60hz screen, 10th gen i9 and the 2070 super. Needless to say, it sounded like it was about to take off as soon as you’d start up a game. Super loud and super hot keyboard. Downsizing to the m15 and an i7 to see if that’s more tolerable

      @ewan6096 4 роки тому +1

    • @CETechTips
      @CETechTips  4 роки тому +2

      I have found that the vapor chamber in the m3 can't keep it under the thermal limit of the 10980HK. I am going to have to undervolt this unit. I'll add this to the main review for comparison between the default settings and the undervolt.

Kinda of like a Low, medium, high comparison. That said would you like to see a cost per frame comparison across the units I have tested, include the G15 and G17 in the mix?

      Yes you can, there is a setting in the Alienware Command Center or you can Function Key + F12.

    Not to criticize, but who tf at Alienware design team has an obsession with piano black fingerprint magnet finishes?? Seriously, the rest of the laptop is awesome, I've never heard one reviewer say they like piano black on laptops, why isn't Alienware listening??

      Maybe a black Friday deal will allow it to be more obtainable.

    I'm genuinely curious if this laptop cost him over $2,000 considering those insane specs!
    RIP, all those specs and no thunderbolt 3.

      It was over $5k CAD. It is nice, but far too expensive!

      Pretty certain it has 1 thunderbolt 3 on the back next to the charge port.

    • @CETechTips
      @CETechTips  4 роки тому

      Yes it does have a thunderbolt 3 port on the back. Can also charge from there.

      That is actually how it comes....I kid you not. I was a bit shocked as well. Minimal, packaging for that low eco impact. It was the same in the m17 R3 as well. Thanks for watching though :)
