Alienware 13 Gaming Laptop - Tiny Heavyweight 

Alienware laptops are way more affordable than MacBook Pro.

I actually find the boxy design of this laptop to be quite refreshing. I'm getting sick of curves in tech tbh

Honestly I'm tired of yall reviewing stuff no one will ever get. I know yall benefit from the money. I'm just tired of this expensive stuff that isn't really that amazing. I want to be informed of new, innovating, or just great stuff. I don't want yall to break down the specs of stuff that I can search online and yall just say well how does it run? and say this runs great but this other thing does not in conclusion it is a ok product for what it's marketed for.

I can't stop looking at the lower bezel of the screen. It's HUGE.

People hate on Alienware so much. Yes, their products are overpriced, and yes, some of their components are not of amazing quality. But you gotta admit, that for some people at least, they love the aesthetic. And when you're a gamer with 3 grand to spend on a laptop, and you're looking for a smaller form factor, you can't deny that this is a solid option. There are quite a lot of gaming laptops on the market, and it really is your own opinion. But people who bash on Alienware simply because they hear everyone else hate on it are just plain stupid.

am i the only one who enjoys heavier electronics? especially phones... i feel like im getting more for my money and the devices feel sturdier. why is everyone racing to the thinnest lightest thing :(

I cannot be the only one here who always reminded of Akatsuki jacket style everytime Linus wearing that jacket

Separate trackpad buttons!!!! FINALLY

My laptop lasts 45 minutes on battery with only a browser open. c:

2:35 Dennis is gonna get deported again for that typo

My alienware13 r3 still works great almost a year later. It's small enough to let you play games pretty much anywhere. In the car or even in a cramped coach seat on a plane, this laptop just works. It's still pushing out over 60fps from modern games in late 2018 too. I could not be happier with this thing.

2020 and this laptop is still carrying me through most games flawlessly. I have the much cheaper i5 1050 model but still runs great, just short on VRAM for some high intensity games.

Forget these shitty laptops, where is scrap yard wars series 5?

I can't get over those humongous bezels

I may be one of the only few to say this, but the way you interactively show off your sponsors is great. I love the meaningful transitions!

Big tip if anyone wants the OLED but doesn’t wanna pay 2k, just add the OLED screen to the cheapest gtx 1060 option and buy your own extra storage or ram if you need it. Saved me a good couple hundred bucks

Don't forget to use a screensaver with that thing

1.3k US dollars.... :/ I mean what did I expect anyway...

I love how in-depth your reviews are.

That blue mat is a nice touch to the videos. its AESTHETIC AF!

when a 13 inch laptop is more powerfull then your gaming pc🙂🔫

So glad you guys made this video, I now own a 15 inch R4 and I was wondering what you guys would think about these new laptops.

0:05 "SOMETHING" I just love how your voice goes insanely high here

Holy shit that Alienware looks like one of those old school laptops with Pentium 4 inside of them with shit tons of vents and I/O ports scattered everywhere.

Now I want to see how Razer Core performs on Alienware 13 using the Thunderbolt 3.

Good to see Alienware! Hope you guys check out some of their future stuff down the road.

Man, your reviews are great!

The bezels on that latop looks like something out of 1994.

Lemme just pull this $1,400 out of my butt...

Grats on all the new gear you used to make this video!

Color grading edit on this episode is better than the previous, Linus!

If Alienware can add an OLED touch display option to the 15 inch model I'll probably pick it up over the Razer Blade. I love the rear I/O port design of the new Alienwares and the good thermal performance/low noise. My biggest issue with the Razer Blade is the placement of the Thunderbolt port on the left side. As a left handed user that placement seriously interferes with the use of a wired mouse. Another good thing about the 15"/17 Laptops is that they include a 240w power brick with the 1070 models, unlike Razer which ships a 160w adaptor with the Razer Blade that is so close to maxing out that draw that it gets extremely hot and may have a reduced life span/start a fire. I love the 2016 Razer Blade's design, but the Noise/Heat combined with the hostility to lefties is too much of a trade off for the increased portability/battery life.

First time ive seen a led track pad. As soon as Linus said that i looked over at my Alienware 14 thats a few years old and seen the led trackpad lmao

Gotta love Tunnel Bear's bear drawings/icons. Cute

In 2022 this is really good still, with the upgradable components and a egpu port makes it still viable in 2022, I still use this as my daily driver and it works great!

can we just talk about the fact that the beginning model of this laptop has a 768 resolution display :/

theres a reason for the added heft and cost of an alienware laptop durability i tripped over while carrying my alienware 14 2015 model (i was stupidly watching a video while going from my yard to inside my house) and it hit the (concrete) floor very hard and i landed on top of it the only damage was to the HDD (head crash destroyed the drive as expected) and the chassis is slightly bent upward on the rear left corner (you cant see it unless you are looking for it) even the screen and hinge didnt break (which surprised me the most) all i had to do was buy an SSD install windows and i was up and running again i did take it to the repair shop to see if anything was damaged and it got a clean bill of health even the store owner was surprised that nothing else was damaged when i described the drop i cant see any other laptop (apart from military grade) surviving that sort of impact without needing a trip to the local PC repair shop i just wish they would improve the battery life (you need at least a 12 cell battery to get any useful gaming time out of one) with a brand new battery i am lucky to get 40 min of crysis 3 out of mine on minimum settings and low brightness in power saving mode with minimum screen brightness and RGB lighting off i cant even get through 1 movie without the battery dying on me 3/4 of the way through it also suffers from severe overheating (even before i dropped it) with core temps of 50C at idle and 80C in crysis 3

Dayum, that backlit trackpad is surprisingly awesome!

OMG this is such an upgrade from the R2 that I have, I wish I had waited for this to come out

Would like to see a 1070 but this isn't bad

saying u dont game anymore breaks my heart

Nice to get your seal of approval Linus. I purchased mine on Monday (QHD, i7, 16GB, 256NVMe), which just so happens to be my first gaming laptop purchase, or any time of gaming machine for that matter.

Finally a video from LTT I'm interested in watching.

Still has more ports than Macbook 😂😂

that OLED is too small tho

Absolute Beautiful Review Linus!!!

Once again Linus you came through with another stellar review homie. I just picked up the alienware 17r4 and I hope it performs as good or even better than the alienware 13. I heard a lot of complaints about heating issues, but I hope mine don't have them issues for real.

The face he made when he said "The RGB lightning" is just amazing. PS. 3:40

Waiting for people to compare this with the MacBook Pro 😂😂

I like the upgradability. Finally a Laptop that isn't packed tightly af and you can easily customize.

Great vid, this is the content I'm subscribed for!

I had an Alienware laptop and the day the warranty expired I couldn't control my bios firmware unless given a code which required 250 bucks

Damn! What a machine fuckin' love it \m/

The RGB track pad, my friend's Alienware 17 (4710mq, 860m) has that, so they've been doing it a while.

I bought my Alienware 17 R4 and love it. Plus, with the rewards coupon I was able to get the Alienware Graphics Amplifier for $20. Laptop was expensive AF and would still recommend getting a desktop over a laptop any day but I'm still super happy with it.

13 inch laptops in 2016 LUL

Alienware kinda got it right !🤔

wow !!! this is an amazing video and I don't know what the hell is so special about you mean ur videos are just mind blowing and I don't mind watching a 15 to 20 min video ...... Man you are awesome and I wish all the best to you and wish that you will go great in future . -X.Bond

Thanks for the great review Linus! This one really helps me.

Why are there no OLED monitors?

But can it run Train Simulator?

Linus's segue into the tunnel bear sponsor..lmfao. Watching him improvise is life.

Interesting video! When showing temperatures (like at 6:53), it might be helpful to also include ambient/room temp for reference for future videos.

Did you use the Caterpillar S60 to take the thermal shots?

4k 144hz oled 1ms hdr adaptive sync 100%sRGB. PLEASE

colors on this video is looks amazing! Please... do this on every video!

Honestly more pumped about tunnel bear. About to download that right now

Am I the only guy that used a crt until I was 7 Years old? (2010)

if i get this laptop, what do I do to remove screen burn in and how do I stop it from degrading over time? (since oled has a short life span)

Loved the music during the RGB lighting, i laughed hysterically.

i am really impressed with this laptop, but if i'm going to get a laptop that is SPECIFICALLY for gaming and video editing/heavy work load tasks, i want at least a 15" screen, preferably a 17". really great to see this offering on the market rn though!

"Gaming experience.....ce" time to sacrifice one of the editors for this unacceptable error

Im watching on the older version of this :/

AWESOME VIDEO MY MAN YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST" LOVE ALIENWARE"

@linustechTips I heard they released an update for the LG OLED line to improve input lag with 4K+HDR. Would love a video testing this stuff

Alienware? I haven't checked yet, but I'm gonna guess this costs ~$1200

Is the conversion from grams to kilograms a mistake or an elaborate way to offend people from US? :D

I just got the new alienware 17inch with a 1440p 120hz 2ms panel, 1060, and the 6820hk. Soooo nice.

The light up touch has been on Alienware laptops for like 2 years lol, lol Linus

3:03 I'm watching this video on that laptop :)

Why is everyone saying that this laptop is shitty, bruh i have a laptop that is shitty but i love it

Video quality is lit af. Did you change something? Love it.

I got the dell i7559 after your review. Works great for lightroom and some gaming, should have got the i7 one as premiere is not usable in my opinion

He digressed... JAYZTWOCENTS PLAGURISM

i still have CRT #FeelsBadMan

I just picked up my first gaming laptop last week.. I got the Asus ROG G702VM and it compliments my overkill SLI 1080 desktop beautifully.. its rocking a 17.3 inch 1080P Gsync 75 hz display with a i7 6700hq/16gb ddr4/gtx 1060 6gb/256gb m.2 1tb hdd... It is a total beast. So great for travelling, and if I want to head upto bed but still game for a little bit before i goto sleep... Thank god for steam cloud game saves :)

After so many laptop reviews. Linus finally touches the alienware

I just want a none-tacky version of this. I can't honestly use this at work.

still better than macbook

This video was really helpful!

Seems like Dell/Alienware really stepped up their game within the last few years, i like how they really value the opinion of LMG and consider that for future product designs.

3.2kg? That's the typical weight on an mid-end gaming 17.3" laptop! Portability is more about weight than size, so being 13.3" but that heavy kind of lose its point..

Whoever edited this needs to step up their game. There were multiple parts with noticeable audio clipping (6:29 for example, though there were at least a handful before that too). It hurts a little every time i hear poor audio editing.

Can’t wait for Christmas I’m getting it

this is really good for transportation i recommend getting this if your travelling

I never noticed how gross linus's hands are. Like a 80 year old with leprosy

OLED. Because your display needs an expiration date......

On the topic of LG OLED TVs being bad for gaming; with the recentish release of 4k XBONE and PS4 Pro I would love to see a video looking at best Budget, Mid range and Best 4k TV for gaming :D

Additional Taipei on the left? Dennis must be fucking pumped!
