Lisa Gade reviews the early-mid 2021 refresh of the Alienware M17 R4 17.3” slim gaming laptop with NVIDIA RTX 3060, 3070 and 3080 16GB max mobile wattage GPUs and Intel 8-core i7 and i9 CPU options with vapor chamber cooling. We test the i7 with RTX 3070. There’s a new 360Hz full HD G-Sync display option (our unit) in addition to the existing 144Hz full HD and 4K wide gamut displays. The laptop is available with per key and zone AlienFX backlit RGB keyboards and there’s a new Cherry MX mechanical keyboard option. For those who prefer a smaller size, there’s the similarly spec-d Alienware m15 R4 with higher thermals. In this review we focus on gaming temperatures and fps, internals, benchmarks and the new 360Hz display quality. We did not enable Alienware’s new TCC thermal offset for our tests.

This review is of the i7 with RTX 3070 and the 360Hz FHD display. Not the 3080, for those who are comparing scores and fps.

@burdconcurred7513 3 года назад

I just ordered the exact model you're reviewing in this video. Your impressions helped me save a ton of money and I only spent $2000 on this model instead of spending the $2600 on the Alienware X17 with "similar" specs. I definitely did my research and I fully understood what I would be giving up by not choosing the X17, (Quiter fans, newer 11th gen intel processor, Optimus, and upgradeable ram). However, I don't believe those together justify spending an extra $600 from my perspective, so thank you for this in-depth review!!

@burdconcurred7513 2 года назад

@@andrewluebke3357 Yeah it's fantastic. The build quality is the star here. After putting it through some stress tests the cooling is exemplary and performance is outstanding. The equipped 3070 being a "Max Q" variant was the biggest selling point for me. You just can't beat performance like this at the aforementioned $2000 price point. Only gripe is the soldered on ram, but that was something I acknowledged prior to purchasing.

@diegotorres2099 3 года назад

In your opinion, do you think alienware M17 R4 is better than MSI GE76 Raider (3080 max-P) in games? I am undecided between these two models.

@ecollazo67 3 года назад

@@diegotorres2099 I would say yes. Though they share many similar specs, one that stands out is the HDMI port. On the M17 you get HDMI 2.2 which allows you to get 4K 120Hz out to a TV (e.g. LG OLED). I use this setup on my 60" TV and it looks amazing! The MSI has the older HDMI 1.4 which only supports 4K 60Hz. Also, the M17's Vapor Chamber cooling for the CPU is amazing. I've not gamed on the MSI, but I would be surprised if its thermals are as good as the Alienware. Then there's the Dell support available with every Alienware. Their support options are second to none and work internationally including accidental damage and on-site support. Lastly, I very much prefer the aesthetics of the Alienware over the MSI, but that's a personal choice.

Love the T shrit and love the video! I hope this isn't taken the wrong way but I'm a commercial DP by trade and I can see that this video is shot at a fairly high shutter speed. Lisa, if you're setting it up on sticks and shooting yourself, try setting the shutter speed double your fps. If you're shooting 23.976 ( or 24 fps), set your shutter speed to 1/50th. This isn't a hard set rule but it generally is bit more pleasing to the brain. Keep up all the great work!

Anyone who is interested in something like this already prioritizing power over everything else.

This is the first personal machine I’ve purchased in about a decade so for me, I love it. Plenty of power, and the Sonics of the machine don’t bother me during normal use, and when gaming I’ve got a set of Sony WH1000XM4/B on anyway which do a fine job of noise cancelling. Everyone’s needs/wants are different but for me, this fits the bill. Cheers!

Nice review! I had my eye on the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro gen 6 but the 4K display has me wanting this now. I've owned plenty of 17 inch laptops over the years (HP/Toshiba/Alienware etc...) and they really are nice when they are built well and have the right stuff inside. Glad Best Buy is carrying them too. My only gripe is the isolated inverted T cursor keys - why the heck did they have to put PGU and PGD keys there instead of blanks the way it should be. They already have those covered as FN keys on the number pad 9 and 3 so it's completely redundant and unnecessary. So close to being perfect, yet it isn't.

If I was in the market for an Alienware laptop, I would without question wait on the AMD 5000 variation that's coming out. At first glance they look clearly superior to these current Intel-based models imho since they have no RAM soldered to the board so it's upgradeable. And since Alienware has always been known for prioritizing performance over thermals, with their current thin chassis they would be perfect for the cooler-running AMD chips. Going AMD might put Alienware over the top this year in the higher end market.

This is my perception based on the type of user I am: more for data science & software engineering than video games: It’s a solid laptop that’s very stable, generally quick, runs a little warm, & due to the beefy GPU the battery lasts 1.75h at best. However, it runs super quiet & performs consistently at a B+ level. The 17” screen with HDR+4K makes movies & 4K supported RU-vid videos look amazing. However it’s big, doesn’t fit in smaller to standard backpacks, & is also really heavy. I’d like an option to turn off the GPU when not in use, and default to on-chip Intel graphics.

Forcing users to buy a new laptop instead of a new graphics card.

Why the CPU doesn’t maintain the full turbo boost speed ?? In the video it appears to be around 2.7 GHZ... If it sustains the maximum speed, it will probably thermal throttle, right ?

I just bought it from offer up for $1,500 and has 4tb of SSD boot + 512gb storage. 32 Gb RAM, intel core i9-10980hk. The Best investment!

Must’ve been used as hell

@@RuneBa1 Nope, it was used for 4 months, the guy had original receipts and Dell's customer support guarantee for 4 years, so it was steel. Last month I called them to change one of the 2Tb SSD and they did it no cost! :) satisfied with this laptop.

It's a very nice laptop I would get this when the price goes down at least 1k or if I can get on sale with at least a 3070 for around 1k ish....

I want to pick up the M17 but M17 on sale is only with 16 GB RAM. Bigger screen size and better thermals is why I want to go with M17 but the M15 is available with 32 GB RAM. Is 16 GB good enough for real world usage (the gazillion chrome tabs) and heavy gaming? or should I get M15 32 GB to future proof it but sacrifice screen size and better thermals? portability is not a factor for me between the two.

You need to up the volume of the video, without maxing volume, its difficult to hear and understand

Can anyone tell me what app is being used to display the temps and FPS during this laptop review?

Have you been able to get hold of a ROG Flow? Desperate for you to review it - not buying one until you do, so no pressure!

@mini9503 3 года назад

I'm typing on it, it's a good laptop with lots of room for improvement. Go for it!

Nope, Asus doesn't have a review loaner for us and man it's expensive and hard to find.

@@mobiletechreview Damn ASUS! Thank you for the reply... hope ASUS change their mind about that and send you one.

I really would have like to see 1440p in a 17" laptop with a 3080. And yeah, AMD would be nice. Soldered NVME??? Soldered RAM?

Why are the new alienware R5's coming out with ryzen 7 model when asus is using ryzen 9? Is it even worth waiting for the m17 R5 - intel 9 chips are better than ryzen 7 as far as i know

Does this laptop benefit from a cooling pad?

I was THIS CLOSE to buying this M17 R4 with the 4K G-Sync monitor, i7 processor, 32Gb of RAM, and 3070 Max-Q graphics... and suddenly it was discontinued and the HORRIBLE X versions appeared. :-/
