80% Alienware M16 review: a gaming titan
Source: Techradar EN→zh-CN
There are certain qualities gaming laptops possess that take them above just a ‘gaming device’, and the Alienware M16 holds all the qualities of a premium entertainment laptop. It boasts a unique design that holds up to the ‘intergalactic’ aesthetic a lot of Alienware products strive for, with hexangle speakers on the chassis, a satisfying keyboard and a quirky alien LED power button. It’s an incredibly elegant machine that handles intense gaming without stress, though its major failing is its monstrous weight and thick, chunky build.

It’s too bad I only got to spend a week with this laptop, but it was still enough to get a good understanding of what Dell has to offer in their newest model. In short, it’s not half bad really. The important thing to ask yourself is whether you want anything more than just a gaming laptop. What I’m getting at is while it’s an excellent laptop for gaming, the battery life and overall heft make it a hard sell for using it for something other than gaming, such as work or causal multimedia use. The webcam and speakers don’t help the situation either. And let’s not forget how warm it gets from just watching Netflix. I’ll give Dell some credit, though – this is a very well-built laptop with some powerful hardware inside. It certainly lives up to the Alienware name and I’m happy they didn’t skip on the power delivery that they put into the CPU and GPU to make it perform at its peak potential. The trouble I have in recommending this machine stems from what the competition is offering. The Asus ROG Scar 16 that Andrei just reviewed is both smaller and lighter and actually seems to perform better in the benchmarks he ran. And then let’s compare the Alienware to the Razer Blade 16 I just recently reviewed, which is also much smaller and lighter. These two laptops performed almost identically too, so it makes little sense why you would gravitate to this over those options. But the cost is a major factor and $2600 is very reasonable for these specs, so perhaps this laptop will find a home with those willing to save a few hundred dollars over the other options. Personally, I would spend the money and choose something that is more than just a gaming laptop, though. But that’s just me. Anyways, as always, I hope you found this article informative. I have to send the laptop back now, but I’m more than happy to answer any questions you may have about my experiences. Please shoot me a comment below.

I hate to lean on this lazy phrase, but here goes: the Alienware m16 R1 is somewhat of a "mixed bag" of a gaming laptop. Ugh. Hotter than hell, weirdly attractive (despite its hefty exterior), and way too damn loud during the most unexpected, dull computing tasks, it’s a machine I both respect and am puzzled by. Is the starting configuration worth $1,299 / £1,699, provided you have a decent amount of desk space/a reasonably sized coffee table? Sure. Yet it’s hard to shake the feeling that Dell has delivered a respectable product that is massively helped by Nvidia’s AI learning techniques that ultimately make this a compelling laptop for its price point. Also, to reiterate, hoo-boy do I love that keyboard.

The Alienware m16 delivered exactly what we expected of it. This is a more powerful, less portable version of the recent Alienware x16, trading some slimness and weight for superior performance. If you’re shopping at the 16-inch size, portability isn’t always the main priority anyway, and the weight difference isn’t a world apart. We think the m16 makes more sense at 16 inches, where the X series really excels at smaller sizes like the x14. Our caveat is, of course, that the review unit we tested that posted such competitive performance is expensive. That doesn’t have to be the case—the starting price is just above entry-level, and you'll find configuration options for every budget in between—but to review it as a top-end system means shoppers have to pay top dollar to match the performance.

100% Alienware M16 review: the sweet spot for price and performance
Source: T3 EN→zh-CN
Gaming is a tough business: today’s state-of-the-art gaming laptop is tomorrow's doorstop. As modern games improve, they make more demands on the machines that run them, pushing the envelope of what the hardware has to do. That’s why it often makes sense to spend more money on a decent gaming laptop such as the Alienware M16, which will keep up with games for a few years at least. It feels odd to call a laptop as pricey as this good value for money. Still, it is. The combination of an AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX (but not the more expensive 7945HX) and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 GPU (not the more expensive 4090), provides excellent performance without the cutting-edge price. So, if you can afford it, the Alienware M16 is a great pick for a gaming laptop that can play as hard as you do and should keep doing so for the next few years. Just don’t forget to take the power supply with you because the battery life is not the one.

80% Alienware m16 R1 AMD review: A fantastic tale of dragons and aliens
Source: Expert Reviews EN→zh-CN
The m16 is a bit of a mixed bag. It’s a stylish, well-made laptop and, as reviewed, you can’t argue with the value for money. It also has excellent performance characteristics and you get a fantastic range of options at the point of purchase. The display is good, as is the speaker system, and there’s a great selection of I/O ports – I especially like to see a dedicated DisplayPort video-out on my gaming laptops. However, in the negative column, the chiclet keyboard is pretty basic for a gaming laptop, with none of the stylistic refinements you see on cheaper Asus TUF or Acer Predator laptops, and the arrangement of the ports seems almost perverse. It’s also heavy and the battery life is poor. If your gaming laptop will spend most of its time sitting on your desk, plugged in and hooked up to a separate keyboard and mouse, then the Alienware m16’s drawbacks become much less of an issue. But if you want something for use out and about, there are better options.

The key question here is, is the Alienware M16 R1 a better buy than the Medion Erazer Major X20? The Medion is a few hundred cheaper when you add its standard mechanical keyboard to the Alienware options list, it has a numeric keypad, and it’s lighter. The Alienware machine has a slight edge in performance, though, and it looks much more stylish, so that’s a tough question to answer. If it were my money, I’d probably go for the Alienware because I’m a bit of a badge snob, and my gaming laptop seldom leaves my desk, so the M16’s 3.25Kg weight isn’t something that worries me. Of course, what really separates the Alienware M16 from broadly comparable laptops like the Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 is the unrivalled list of options you can choose from. Short of building your own PC, you just don’t see that kind of choice in other places. And if there’s another gaming laptop out there that can take 4 SSDs, I’ve yet to hear about it.
