I say bring back the x17 or give us an x18. And give me an alien head power button

This is honestly one of the best first impressions video's that I've seen. Usually you receive little to no information about what the laptop is actually like - they tend to literally just be an unboxing video with some impressions on build quality but you went the extra length to give a solid first impression of all of the key aspects. I have now subscribed and am eagerly awaiting your review.

Such a shame that they got rid of the alien head powerbutton, the sloped rear and the amazing lunar light color. :(

I have set the launch time for 15:00GMT so hopefully the majority of regions can watch it live. I will be online for the event so feel free to come and chat :)

Looks like a very solid machine! I can't wait to see the full review.

Can't believe they removed the Alienware power button. What's that all about lol

I wish all gaming brands use back side for all ports. It gives super clean look for laptop setup.

Waiting on full review. So far, looks really promising. Like for great video!

I'm expecting this x16 to be the perfect blend of the x15 and the x17. Maybe the refreshed version, next year, will get Dell's new CAMM memory modules and we'll get upgradable memory in this thin design.

That white back end with the vents is weird looking

For each Alienware:
- Is the pasting ok or do temperatures run away?
- Is the command center buggy or slow and when will it be fixed?
- What is the noise (samples and dB values) under GPU load in different fan modes?
- Which Alien logos can and which cannot be deactivated?
- When can we expect initial prices to start dropping?

Unboxing expensive and box is super super impressive. I really liked box of this alienware. Very premium box.

To be honest x16 is a x15 successor, the on board ram is a hint for the conjecture. I quite don’t understand why Dell decide to not release the X18 this year. But x series won’t disappoint the Alienware lover in any ways. Pretty impressive new laptop, but….. I still wish Dell could quietly announce there will be a X18 or area 51m r3 later this year. Thanks man! Very nice unboxing video!

My x16 is running great. Just a few initial hiccups coming out of the factory with the AWCC not working, but Dell Support diagnosed the problem with my OS Recovery image having the AWCC options disables under Services. Running in performance mode and the fans are so quiet, the temps are good, it feels premium, overall I really like it!

Agree with strange lid colour, nice to hear the speakers improved. But show stopper for me is the hk cpu, competition provide hx and with these new gpus I feel we need powerful CPUs to match performance. Great to hear they are running gpu at 165 watts. I’m actually not to bothered about the soldered memory as it’s running at 6000 … I wonder if a x18 is in the works

Hey Dave,

Nice to see you live streaming!

[stevecarr]

I still have my Alienware 17 R4. Pushing 7yrs, it has it's quirks but going strong. Thinking about a possible upgrade soon.

[ismail-hassan]

Is this the RTX 4090 variant? Do we hope sometime later this year we get a mini-led option for the x16. Surely dell need to keep up with the competition.

[jessegriffin]

Did I hear it right or RAM cannot be upgraded? And I feel like its design is a Dell with a large butt. Other than that, it is improved. Waiting for AW vs. Razer
