Alienware m18 R1 Review 

The cat wants to be included in the opinion. As always, another informative review. You hit all the details without adding a bunch of unneeded information. You know what we look for in information. Thanks again.

Don’t buy it mine have a lot of issue, I rather to spend more for Razet than this one

I have the Alienware 18 that comes with the 7845hx CPU and 4080 GPU and it's been amazing so far. Wish it was a bit cheaper tbh but still happy with my purchase

OMG FINALLY !! the review i've been waiting for since March 2023 😁

Wow…the cat endorses the laptop.

so my concern with this "I don't want to cook an egg on top while im using the machine" so some other reviewers said that it doesn't get hot even afters hours of usage...but here you are saying it hits 100?

If this thing had more than 300 NITS, I would purchase this one. I do not understand why Alienware, to this day, still sells laptops with very dim screens.

Owning this laptop the past 4 months, I love it!

It would be nice if the display had the option of going brighter and or more vibrant.

From the cat's persepctive, you were standing there meowing your heart out for 10 and a half minutes. Perplexing, from a cat's point of view!

RX 7900M is a beast in mobile gaming platforms, it even poses a threat to RTX 4090 laptop models in tests, at a much lower price.

Would nice if 7945hx3d + rtx 4090 + 4k oled display fit in this laptop

the thing I don't understand is why the motherboard is installed backwards, where the only air vents are those small slits above the keyboard...

Instant like for the cat

My god if this was the older 18 inch laptops you wouldn’t be lifting them that easy 😂😂😂

I’m wondering if the m16 performs just as well. I need something a bit smaller.

Im running the R1 with the 7845HX, it runs hot as well, have it capped at 85c though and theres no performance loss that Ive noticed. I usually dont deal with Alienware, but I got a excellent deal on this one. 7845HX, 32GB, 1TB SSD (added a 4tb as well) RTX 4070, 1200P 480hz, was $1270 all in, open box discount mixed with a friends BB employee discount.

Time to feed the kitty!😂😂 Or is kitty demanding to be in the video! Thanks for another great video review Lisa.

One day I'II have mine, one day. I want the best, maybe even this one. Any alienware line are beatiful are beautiful. Most importantly, it runs every game.

Which cpu was in your test model? If you pick a 13700 (and for example 4070) do you still get the same thermal unit (4 fans, etc)?

Like the new haircut.. thanks for the review as always Lisa 😊

What laptop that can be drawn on-screen with a Wacom (or similar quality) stylus would you recommend? Looking to replace my current set-up of a MacBook Pro and an iPad 12.9". Wanting an all-in-one type of deal for drawing on the go.

The cat was a nice touch. Good review, for an underwhelming display. I wish that Alienware offered a better screen. The 18 inch should be a flagship product with the best of everything, including a premium display. For example Acer offers an 18 inch laptop with a mini LED.

Will you make a video on the m16?

>2023 >300 nits :(

I had an Alienware 17r5, the last real Alienware. This, 300 nit monitor, no real oc, no subwoofer... I have a MSI GT77 and it is a beast with a best monitor. Very good video, good work...👍

Cat meowing gets a subscribe.

wow the display is really let this down, no point in getting a huge screen laptop if its no good

Thanks for the review, very appealing device.

Never been this early

I take my X17R1 everywhere. It’s on a plane more than it’s on a desk. Good PCs, great portability. You’re going to get some great calves as a side benefit. Everki is the only backpack that can handle this machine. And they are great backpacks as well. Cheers!

Smart Laptop Cooler for Alienware X16, M16, M18: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1dx-JPzCkDE.html

I have had Alienware m18 AMD for about two weeks. Love everything except almost non existent battery. Max about three hours before it goes down.

Not a fan of Alienware design nor of a so big format but that t-shirt though

that's the best goku cosplay i've ever seen... or is it vegeto

The flipped motherboard design is the reason for the high temps

Wersja back to portable computers of the nineties 🤦‍♂️

Would love to see 7945hx3d with 7900m specd

I love this laptop so much I have maxed out configuration with 4tb of ssd storage?

you could carry it to school everyday. get some nice strong arms.

Dell and HP always manage to build huge gaming laptops with worse cooling than Lenovo Legion Pro 5/7 or ASUS Strix 16/18

Just reading the comments to keep dreaming of owning one.

I'll wait for the next model....the m18 R2D2? 🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍

Need review of the all amd 7945hx+7900m

ちょっと何言ってるかわかんない。

Lisa yelling at the cat: "We're gonna look at it now!" Cat: "meow!"

I have this beast. It works with the 48GB DDR5 chips and now I have 96GB RAM at 5200MT/s.

Yes dad i will need it for my study metrical

Great review - still wondering when someone, anyone, will review the m18 with the Ryzen 9. What did you think of the display? Other reviewers have said it’s very dim.

Love your new hair style 🙂👍

nice video and congratulations. Sorry for my English, I'm translating from Italian. I wanted some advice, I'm undecided between the 165hz and 480hz display. I mainly play cod and warzone. I'm thinking that the 1200p resolution would still not be exploited if I used dlss... thanks for the advice

wow! fancy new hair! I like!!! 😍😍😍

i will buy it in a few years for $1000.

Anyone know which 18" has the best speakers/sound? This will be my workstation/entertainment center... Would be nice to not have to plug in my stereo.

Did you ever feed your cat?!

This alienware laptop has only 16gb ram not 32gb and has 300 nits lol. A cheap acer chromebook has 250 nits lol. My 2022 razer blade 15 has an Intel i9-12900h cpu, 4k 144 hz display with 32gb ram and a 3080 ti with 16gb of vram not 12gb of vram compared to this laptop.

Cat tax is due on video!

Thx for the excellent review Lisa!

nice shirt!

Coment for yt

Adopt me

I am absolutely loving the hair

thanx for review

Many Thanks

Thank you!!

love the hair!

Nice Look👍

why is there no mux switch? Thank you

Pen support?

Alienware is been on a downward spiral for years now... trying to chase thin and light... and the over segmentstion of the skus.... there are too meny now to a point it is confusingly frustrati to make a purchase decision... and on top pf that... the build quality and longevity took a back sit even the much more cheaper dell g serues can outperform an alienware which is absurd... but due to corporate greed... good stuff isnt a thing anymore... i could go on ....wvwn further but the bottom line is they've gotten so bad that other brands thet used to he called budget.. are now caught up and now the premium better option compared to alienware......the other thing is they discontinue these laptops so fast it seems like every other day... look at the area 51m... was supposed to be the future.... but it is a disappointing 6000$ paperweitht failure thats got discontinued just one year after and also being beaten by entry budget laptops 6 tiimes cheaper....😢 The last alienware 18 from 2013 .. 2015 was the last great alienware fullu upgradeable, tons of io and could suport 6 generations of GPUs..... I am not sold on alia ware anymore as a long term high performance laptop laptop option. Great review as always though

First1

Horrible battery life I'll wait for Macbook Pro with M3 MAX it will beat this laptop while running on battery for 15 hours

I just sold my X17 3070 for a X16 4090 I love the look of the M series as well as the performance just a bit chunky for my liking

I travel and stay in different cities for 30 days at a time. My XPS 13 is just too small to work on for 8 hours. Was looking at one of these but then I tried connecting a 17" portable monitor to my XPS 13 and it solved my problem for about $180. Weights 2lbs

I tossed an Alienware 17R4 in a bag every day and took it to class lol. But then again I've been lifting my entire adult life and I was 230lbs at that point.

Just picked one of these up. Great video!

No benchmark or temperature?! What?! You used be the greatest reviewer of them all but this is a very lazy, rushed and amateurish review

Nice ‘do

what game is the 1st game you show?
