- Dell fixed mux switch and cuda cores on 3070, TGP boosted to 130w with BIOS update.
- 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.
- 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.

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.
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.

it is very nice. i hear about issues with this model and maybe i am fortunate, but haven't had any of it. disabled boost and tested out Ghost Recon Breakpoint on ultra. while the game made it above 60 fps (more an issue with the game itself), happy to say the temps were very good. cpu/gpu actually stuck around 80c in 20 minutes of playing.
tested RE7 and very similar although that one hit 200 fps.
very nice laptop, a bit larger than what i am used to. overall happy with the performance. the temp issues from last year seem to be gone.
I bought this laptop because of some reviews saying this model is supposed to have better cooling than other Alienware & G15 models, with a review on youtube saying he maxed out at 88C on the CPU when doing stresstesting in high performance / full speed thermal mode.
Well, I have now tried doing a couple of tests using Cinebench R23 & TSBench as CPU stress tests and I get 5-6 cores almost instantly maxing out at 100C which is the max temp allowed with standard BIOS settings (can only set lower with the TCC setting), which is even FAR WORSE than I got on the much cheaper G15 laptop I bought and returned because of its poor thermals, and the G15 maxed out at ca 93-95C with the same TS Bench/Cinebench tests. Only when playing games like Assassins Creed Odyssey did the CPU go up to like 97-98C after playing for a while.
It would be very interesting to hear what temps & scores everyone else is getting with tests like these. I don't have any scores yet, because I didn't even want to finish any of the benchmarks running the CPU at 100C for the entire test, but considering the temps I wouldn't be surprised if I also get worse scores than I got with the G15, I'll do some more testing over the next couple of days...
For benchmarking, try something like Cinebench R23 or TS Bench with Throttlestop, then you can measure Core temps with Throttlestop, CoreTemp or HWInfo for more detailed info.
Also make sure to run in a mode that's not gimped, like High Performance, Balanced or Full Speed, otherwise you of course won't get high temps (or scores).

Have you tried any benchmark testing without gimping the CPU, to see what temps you're getting then? Would be interesting to compare. Like I said above, according to a youtube review he's getting 80-88C CPU temps at max speed, which would be very good thermals if you could get that.

So far the only way I can get sub 100C temps running TS bench or Cinebench R23 is by setting the TCC offset in BIOS to for example 8, then cores max out at between 85-94C. Scores at that setting are below what I got with the G15, same specs.
