4060 equivalent. Very few to no reviews. You can get a 4060 with DLSS and frame gen for <$1k. Pass.

Yes, it sits somewhere between the 4060 and 4070.

The 2560x1600 screen here has lower color quality than the other screen options for this laptop. Not sure on the brightness, but the other version of the Alienware m16 2560x1600 screen only 317nits of brightness, dimmer than similar laptops from Lenovo, Asus, Acer, and MSI.
The battery life is very short on this laptop, under 3 hours for web browsing at low brightness, or less than an hour while gaming.
For comparison, the Asus strix 16" supports over 9.5 hours of web browsing, and the Lenovo legion pro 7 16" is a bit over 5 hours.
Not sure why Alienware went with a smaller battery, especially as this is one of the largest 16" gaming laptops of this generation, the Asus and Lenovo are both smaller overall.
Also, the current generation Asus, Acer, Lenovo, and MSI gaming laptops support changing the laptop via USB-C at 100watts, but this Alienware does not support USB charging.

In my opinion the Lenovo Legion Pro 7/7i is the best 16" gaming laptop this year, with the ASUS ROG Strix close behind.

Maybe want a smaller form factor. What would you consider the best gaming laptop with decent battery life for a 14 or 15.5 inch screen

Damn this thing is heavy. I thought the G15 was already bloated at 6 pounds in 2023 and now this thing is 7 pounds by itself.

I'm curious as to why someone would pick this up over the 4070 TUF unless they preferred the QHD screen, wanted a longer battery life, or are biased towards Alienware.

I'm considering it for the all AMD set up. Only downside is lack of reviews and the positive reviews saying the screen is beautiful but much dimmer than previous screens.

Not so much a bias issue as I think it is warranted to say nVidia is fudging numbers right now by using AI upscaling while actually running the games at lower resolution to hit the same frame rates AMD is getting. No one likes upscaling but you add AI in front of it and suddenly it's all good.

I guess you missed the Tuf A16 7600S that was $750? This one is faster, especially the CPU, but the Tuf has great battery life... and will surely go on sale again.

Asus ROG Zephyrus G14: 14" excellent miniLED screen, up to a GeForce 4090.

Lenovo Legion Slim 5 14".

Razer blade 14.

Or, both the Lenovo Legion Pro 7/7i 16" and Lenovo Legion 5/5i 16" slim pack the same size screen in a smaller laptop body than the Alienware. Better screen brightness and battery life too.

For a gaming laptop I'd rather have less weight and smaller battery. It's gonna be plugged in when gaming anyways. If you don't want to game and can't charge, just reduce power settings

Well, here's the issue: this Alienware weighs about a pound more than the Legion 16", is larger, and has worse battery life.

So, you're getting the worst of both worlds.

If you're always using it plugged in on a desk then sure, the battery life, weight, and dimensions don't matter at all.

As for reducing power settings, that doesn't help much on this laptop. With reduced power settings, browsing the Web over wifi, here's how the 16" laptops stack up:

Alienware: 224 minutes
Legion: 308 minutes
Asus Strix: 583 minutes

And of those 3 laptops, the Strix is the lightest, the Alienware is the heaviest.

For over $1,200, surely there are better options out there. The CPU seems to be one of the main selling points, but most gamers don't need that much horsepower (and if you do, then you probably also need more than 16GB RAM).

Kind of a weird deal to me. Like the other guy said, most people would be better off saving some cash and going with a 4060 machine for closer to $1k.

Showing this at $1169 now with that coupon. Factor in amex $120 off, how does the deal compare now?
