Major Adjustment: The case of the Alienware M18 R1 is indeed made of aluminum, it is thin and the tapping of the case deceived me. I Have retested this after @brahimbenzarti2474 comment thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Friend, have you compared both QHD+ and FHD+ displays, are both having the same black level value, color accuracy and depth of color richness, or any other display properties? Can You describe the full HD+ display comparing with QHD+ one?

I'm actually watching this video on an M18 right now haha. I can say this laptop is amazing and perfect for anything. This coming from a Video editing and 3d animator

I'm a mac person but bought this for gaming, its massive and I'm not a fan of the speakers, is their a way to add more bass in the settings, they kind of have a tin sound to em but other than that, its an awesome system.

The temperatures on this beast are low!!! Best I have seen on a laptoo!

[yourforeignlocal]

Lmao I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of benchmark tests you put it thru XD

[smokeyarcade]

I got the full AMD version, love it so far. Only had it for a day though. Haven't done much gaming but speed wise it's great and heat is managable.

[zekethepumber]

What’s the name of the stand you’re using at the start of the video ?

[sumbody]

I have never had such a powerhouse of a laptop before and having a temp gauge is freaking me out. This machine can run easily up to the low 90's and that feels just too hot. I am not even playing anything super intense on resources ( mostly world of warcraft on medium settings ) and it still jacks the heat up by upwards of 28-29 degrees Celsius. This computer can easily handle playing that game on maxed out settings easily with fps to spare but I would overheat the laptop and destroy a 3k piece of machinery

[andrewjameson]

It is great to see a review of this machine., it does look a bit sick

[travellingguitarsinger]

Man those cars behind where can i buy?

[armyboi]

For your headline answer, ITS A BEAST

[raerdev]

Alienware laptops are like a 50/50, you either get the best laptop in the world, or you get a broken piece of plastic

[emaneman]

I just got mine. setup and just found speakers dont work. Im surprised they dont test this laptop before sending it out.

[yrukdesigner]

Well personally I feel the M18 is Underpowered overrated too small, but i like to invest silly money in gaming. I wouldn't stop on this laptop at all as i have old MSI laptops which are quite similar. Next :)

[Belgarath]

Great video. 300 nits is a huge negative at this price point.

[brahimbenzarti]

Nice review thank you, But you sure it's plastic ?

[eyuparslan]

i have the same computer. it's definitely not plastic. The case is a mixture of metal and aluminum

[rjunmehta]

Hi there, can you please do a review on the lenovo slim pro 7 with AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 with 16GB Memory

[BigMannyEmann]

Hello. Just found your channel. I own an m18 but I seem to have a problem with the command centre. It loads and opens up and I can select and customize fan profiles but when I go to the rgb section its just a grey background so I can't customize the rgb at all. Would be great if someone had a solution for this problem. Thanks in advance.
