Reason to choose this machine over m15 r5 Ryzen edition FP deal:

  2. RTX 3070 is better to use with QHD screen, G-sync and Advanced Optimus gives you more battery life on the go w/o switch Mux switch to reboot.
  3. QHD screen come w/ IR camera support windows hello, it have variety of usage not only for login authentication. Such as admin permission and 1Password, Dropbox.
  4. 1TB ssd and 16G DDR both are swappable, x15 or m15 r4 before can't swap memory.
  5. Intel 11 gen have better performance in than Ryzen 5800H, Alienware have more tweak optimization on fan profile and thermal than m15 r5.
  6. It has Thunderbolt 4 port with Power Deliver output

This one is a instant delivery with in days from us warehouse stock. That R4 is on backorder need resemble in China and wait until shipment clear on ports, estimation of delivery is May.
10870H is about 10-20% slower than 11800H both in multithreaded and single thread application.
R6 can swap DDR4 memory and it's 3200, you can upgrade to 32G or 64G. R5 came with soldered 16G memory and it's 2933.
R6 also support PCIE 4.0, the SSD should be substantially faster on specs.
R6 have QHD screen support windows hello, R4 is 1080p 300hz
R6 have Advanced Optimus and Mux switch, R4's always on dGPU thus battery will be a lot less when used in light workload.
Not sure what are you expect an $1400 gaming laptop's screen. It's 240hz QHD IPS 400nits screen and you can't find a miniLED or OLED even close to that refresh rate for less than $5000.
I fully agree his review on that unit and that moment he created the video review, but Jarrod's review happens before 2 important bios update and missed the bigger feature of QHD screen w/ windows hello IR camera:

1. bios update to add Mux switch
2. bios update to add extra power to 130w 3070 TGP instead of 115w

It's Dell's loss to send a premature and inferior unit for him to review. With adequate updates and a better screen like this one, I'd say there is no shortcoming on performance and rich in non gaming features. Alienware m15 never the top performer on market, it's m17 and x17's job.
And for R6 I listed those pros like XMP memory support, TB4 ports and 11800H performance boost are not addressed in that review too.​

I have to submit a new order. He did say that the issue should be resolved. I may just ship to my house, but don't really want a $1500 laptop sitting on my porch. Also, Amex says the Dell offer should still work since the first order didn't get posted to my account.
You submitted a new order online, or via phone call? I don't want to do it via phone call, coz 12% cash back worth about $175.

Had DPA account for five years. Bought 2 Alienware laptops in 2017 and now three in 2022. No issues dormant for 4 years other than they keep increasing my limit trying to get me to buy more.

Lucky you then... Bought one in 2019 and till today having bios issues and exchanged with dell twice already... Is there a lemon law for electronics?

This or the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16 165Hz QHD IPS G-Sync Ryzen 7 16GB RAM 1TB SSD RTX 3070 for $1580?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/125058259597

The Lenovo has a full size number keypad, a camera and shutter, no fingerprint reader. What about this is different or better or worse?

Anyone know if the USB-C on this can charge the laptop (I know not enough power to it while running but have a few uses for when. It's turned off/standby to charge that way)

I have my m15r6 3070 2k for few days now, it gets several small problems.
1. The lights always on even on sleep mode, unless turn it off manually
2. Most of time when I try to power up the laptop, I have to press the power button twice. First attempt, the keyboard light up for a sec then off, and nothing on screen,; second attempt, the laptop will fire up normally. I used the selfcheck via BIOS, and no error.
Other then that, it is a super awesome laptop, I really like the window hello feature, and it coold down really fast.
Now, I going for legion 5 pro, same price with 140w 3070+ 16in 2k + 32g +2tbssd

I believe when you open the laptop lid, it boots. When you hit the power button, you're turning it off instead on.
