As always great review keep up the work my man! Noticed you are using that mouse that came with the titan lol. Have you thought about reviewing the Lenovo Legion 9i. Pretty sick laptop can support ram speeds up to 6400mhz!

[wrtucey]

Really enjoyed your review, first time viewer.

300 nits for screen is not acceptable in today's gaming laptop. That's why i end up buying Lenovo Legion 7i i9.. You are correct about the display. They should have made the display a lot better and brighter

[Cpt.Fury]

Everyone is unhappy about the display, meanwhile there’s me using and old 1080p monitor happy as fuck that this display is brighter and more colourful than what I’m used to 😂

330 nits and 8gb VRAM gpu is unacceptable for a >$1k laptop in 2024. Great review though!

[MajstkX]

Please do a review of the X16 R2 with a 4090! 🙏🙏

I have this amazing alienware, not disappointed at all!

Not sure what Dell is thinking when it comes to the display options in their gaming laptops. No mini LED, OLED, QHD @ 240hz + or 4K options in 2024? The rest of the competition offers all the above. I could never go back after having mini LED, they need to step it up.

Which one do you recommend between this laptop vs Razer Blade 16 (2023 model - i9 13950hx and RTX 4070). The cost of Blade 16 is 200 USD higher than Alienware M16 R2. Any opinion would be appreciated. Thanks!

would anyone recommend this laptop for music production? I use FL Studio, I own a Dell Inspiron a gaming laptop, well a really old one I got this in 2018. The CPU is terrible it s an i7 7th gen. When I make music on it the CPU spikes to 100% of it s usage stuttering the DAW (FL). If anyone can help please reply or give me any other recommendations.

This is REALLY helpful, I would like to ask your opinion, is this better than the m16 r1 or just a little bit worse?

[hoodama]

Do you test the fps of games like horizon zero dawn, SOTTR, Dying light 2, GOTG and cyberpunk 2077 with the in-game benchmark test or random play?

[Ruckus]

i thought the USB on the right was stupid too

[Blazey]

Thoughts on MSI stealth studio 14/16 al?

[bookmark]

Dang, I guess I am nit picky. Anything below 400 nits is a hard no in my book.

It seems like the Asus G16 is a better laptop overall. This thing needs a better display.

[furnitureandbedding]

Impressive you are that ok with this display. It must be pretty decent considering you have been using some of the best displays 2024 has to offer. Like you said though this display is unacceptable on the higher end Alienware X16 which competes with both Blade 16 and G16. The X16 is a better laptop in many ways but the weak display may be a huge problem in this price bracket.

I had to decide between the m16 r1 or r2. I really don't like the new design of the m16. It looks like a normal 500$ business laptop with and alienhead glued on.
And i really dislike the new focus on small/slim laptop with medium power. AW is too expensive (also the r2) for a medium spec as the top range. This makes no sense to me.
When i want gaming laptop i want power. When i want a normal looking business laptop i buy one.
edit: so of course i bought a m16 r1 13900hx 4080 xD

Hp omen ryzen 7 6800h rtx 3070ti (8gb) with QHD display or hp omen ryzen 7 7840hs rtx 4060 (8gb) with FHD display which is better

[Potatoaimbot]

Been using Alienware for 10 years, now im switching to Razer, and this is THE right thing to do im sure
