 I captured it on video. There is no adverse behavior after initial flickering. This is not a touch screen laptop.  Benchmark for this laptop also supports my findings

 We just need to get bigger storage for the updates and games. I have captured the benchmarks from Novabench in the pictures. it is just slightly better than most midgrade gaming laptops. But fails significantly in comparison to the high end laptops

  It took about 2 hours 15 minutes to charge the battery from 0. this is while the PC is on and in use. with a full battery, I was able to use the laptop for close to 5 hours.  Bottom line

Solid Midrange Gaming laptop at an affordable price.

 This laptop costs so much because it has all the best (ie, most expensive) tech. Top CPU, top CPU, top DRAM, top gaming HD screen, etc.  ++Good brand. Alienware has always been held in esteem

 This is known and not a strength of gamer laptops. I get about 60-90 minutes batter life on this Alienware m15. So this is not a couchsurfer of coffee shop email reader. The battery is most handy as safety backup for power outages, etc

.  What I like: ++The Best Tech to run all the latest stuff. This laptop costs so much because it has all the best (ie, most expensive) tech. Top CPU, top CPU, top DRAM, top gaming HD screen, etc

 It would be more versatile for me if the battery life was longer. But, has all the best tech specs and works well to play all the latest software. You don't need this if you using your PC for just the basics. Overall 4-STAR rating by me in consideration of price/value

not your daddy's corporate windows laptop

 The 300hz screen is amazing! But make sure you have GeForce experience downloaded so you can switch off the batter saver mode which caps fps at 30 when unplugged! The rtx 3080 (even though it is the 8gb version) still blows most games out of the water, I can play cyberpunk at 90+ fps on high with rtx and dlss on.  It has plenty of ports as well, along with thunderbolt (Amazing) hdmi, mini dp, and even an alienware gpu amplifier (not sure why, but why not!).  Overall in today's market, with how hard tech is to aquire, this isn't a bad laptop. It's pluses are amazing while its shortcomings aren't great, this is still a great buy

 So weigh the pros and cons, and if you pull the trigger, this won't do you any wrong!

 I was able to get better temps by going into the fx software and selecting the overclock 2, it lowered about 5° which is noticeably better, but I still needed to put it on a cooling pad as it was making my lap a little uncomfortable when it hot up to temp.  2) The ram isn't upgradeable, should be at this point (soldered into mobo) but 32gb should be more than enough for any laptop user, making it pretty future proof at the moment.  3) the price.

  3) the price... msrp $2650+ before tax and it isn't even running the 16gb RTX 3080 model which the asus, msi and razer do around that price point, or a bit more(usually with a 16gb ddr4 configuration, so alienware wins that dept)

HIGH END BEAST! But....

 It's about a 3rd the size of the laptop and weighs more than some laptops I've owned. It's far and away the largest power brick I've seen for anything and 2-3x the size of even large notebook power bricks.  Screen: The screen on my model is a disappointing 1080p resolution. In order to get high frame rates, they seem to have resorted to a lower resolution screen

 There is almost nothing portable about this laptop and I'd say unless you absolutely must have a gaming laptop, you should get a desktop instead.  Power Brick: The power brick is insanely large. It's about a 3rd the size of the laptop and weighs more than some laptops I've owned. It's far and away the largest power brick I've seen for anything and 2-3x the size of even large notebook power bricks

This Alienware has a lot of performance packed into a laptop package but it does it with at the cost of noise, weight, space and build quality. My previous laptops have been MacBooks and while they aren't great for gaming, they are well built and portable. Alienware puts in a lot of performance and ports but this comes with a lot of sacrifices. I prefer a desktop for gaming and a laptop for things I need to do on the road

Good performance, loud fans, huge power brick, and flimsy build quality

  It’s a slightly different review, but I successfully used a Thunderbolt/SVGA connector to add an external monitor – and Win 10 lets you easily swap monitor configurations. A large monitor might be in your plans as the panel laptop monitor quality is average, IMO.  It’s a heavy laptop, and the power supply is positively massive – not something you toss in a lightweight backpack and go. But if the specs work for you, and gaming is your primary thing, go for it

Mixed Bag, compared to my other machines

  Screen, 1080P. Yes, outdated 1080P. Recently most high end laptop equipped with touch screen, with 2K even 4K. BUT, this one is ) 300Hz 3ms 300-nits 100% sRGB color gamut

 Either way it is very hard to upgrade the RAM. 2 X16GB hynix, running at 30GB/s read, and 28GB/s write, latency 60ns. Good enough for most users.  GPU 3080 is the top one, with 8GB DDR6, there is nothing to complain about

  Battery, 87WH, fully charging time 2.5H. video streaming about 6H. The thing is if you video streaming, you don't use the high power consumption GPU, I would say don't have a high exception for the battery life when gaming

 Even faster than most ethernet cable.  SSD: 1TB, but from a glance of the mother board, you can insert one other full length nvme, and another half length nvme. From pm9a1 Samsung, this one is the most new Gen4 nvme ssd The speed test shows it could do 1.9GB/s sequential writing and 878MB/s deep queue 4K random IO

RAM, 32GB, I didn't see extra slots at the back of the mother board, assuming they are either on the other side or not upgradeable

Dell XPS9310-7368SLV-PUS is engineered with: 11th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-1185G7 Processor (12MB Cache, up to 4.8 GHz), 13.4-inch FHD+ (1920 x 1200) InfinityEdge Touch Anti-Reflective 500-Nit Display, 16GB 4267MHz LPDDR4x , 512 GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD, Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics with shared graphics memory, Platinum Silve with Black carbon fiber palmrest.

RTINGS

If you need a portable device for general productivity tasks like web browsing, text formatting, and video playback, we recommend the Dell XPS 13 (2021), the best laptop with a thin and light design we've tested. It's a sleek and stylish Windows laptop with incredibly thin bezels and a sturdy aluminum chassis. It's compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry around, and its battery lasts over 10 hours of light productivity. It charges over USB-C, so you don't have to worry about lugging around a proprietary charger.

When it comes to user experience, the XPS 13 is truly among the best. It has a colorful 1080p display that gets bright enough to combat glare, and you can upgrade to a 4k IPS or OLED panel, albeit at the cost of shorter battery life. The keyboard feels great to type on and isn't tiring as its scissor switches have a good amount of travel and satisfying tactile feedback. The touchpad is reasonably large for such a compact device, and it tracks all movements and gestures well.

As for the configuration, unless you have an extremely light workload, most people should get at least a Core i5 with 8GB of memory. Going up to 16GB of memory isn't necessary; however, keep in mind that the memory isn't user-upgradeable, so it's better to get more upfront. Unfortunately, you only get two USB-C ports, a microSD card reader, and a headphone jack, but at least both USB-Cs support Thunderbolt 4. Overall, this is a great option for anyone looking for a portable and stylish laptop, and as many people are still working remotely, it's also one of the best laptops for home use.

Wirecutter

The Dell XPS 13 is thin and light, and it has long battery life, a great keyboard, a reliable trackpad, and a spacious screen.

The latest XPS 13 is thin and light, and it offers long battery life, a great keyboard, a reliable trackpad, and a spacious screen.

The best Windows laptop we've tested is the Dell XPS 13 (2021), an ultraportable designed for general productivity like web browsing, text formatting, and video playback. It's sleek, sturdy, and easy to carry around, with enough battery life to get you through a typical eight-hour day of light productivity. You get a sharp and bright display, a keyboard that feels comfortable to type on all day, and a large, responsive touchpad. It has a fingerprint sensor built into the power button and a Windows Hello-compatible IR camera for facial recognition, allowing you to log in quickly and get to work. You can spec it up to an Intel 11th Gen Core i7 CPU, 32GB of memory, and 2TB of storage. The main downside is that it only has two USB-C port/Thunderbolt 4 ports, so you'll likely need dongles or a dock for your wired peripherals or external displays.

If you need more screen space for multitasking, the LG gram 17 (2021) might be a better option. Its 17-inch screen gives you more screen real estate for split-screen multitasking, and due to its larger size, there's enough room on the keyboard deck for a Numpad, which is great for those working with lots of numbers. Yes, you'll need a bigger bag to carry it, but it weighs only 3.1lbs, and you probably won't need the charger because the battery life is outstanding. Plus, it has plenty of ports, so you can leave the dongle life behind.

Dell XPS is my vote. MacBook level build quality with a good range of options to fit your price and performance needs.

EDIT 9/29: thank you all for the responses—I wasn’t expecting so many! After some more consideration, the M1 MacBook Air sounds like it might actually be a better option than a gaming-specific laptop. I’ll wait and see what the M1X release looks like, but for now I’ll stick with an Apple product. Again I appreciate all of the help and suggestions!

Hi all! As the title says, I'm in the market for a new laptop to replace my rapidly aging Macbook Pro 2014 (13-inch). My parents are open to helping me make this purchase, and while they'd be open to a modern Macbook Pro cost, I'd prefer to move away from Apple.

Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
$1300 USD

Are you open to refurbs/used?
No

How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
Honestly not too sure about this one... see below for what I'd want to use it for.

How important is weight and thinness to you?
Relatively important. I'd prefer something powerful but still professional-looking and sleek. I'd like to transport it with me to use in coffee shops, at friends' houses, etc., but I'd want to prioritize something powerful.

Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
The 13-inch laptop I have is fine by me, but I wouldn't be averse to something larger.

Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
I'd love to do some basic video editing and photo editing (with something like Gimp for photos). I also want to play games like Stardew Valley on Steam.

If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
I like to play Stardew Valley and Pokémon RomHacks, so anything that can run up to DS-style graphics smoothly is good by me!

Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
I'd prefer no touch-screen (or at least the ability to turn it off). All that really matters is a good keyboard for writing and such as well as drives to plug in devices, backup hard drive, etc.

Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
Ultimately I'd like a laptop that will let me play and emulate games, write, make videos and edit photos, and stream YouTube. If it's durable and will last me a while, that's another bonus. 

Apologies for being abstract. I'm not a tech-y person so I'm not really sure about the exact specs I'm looking for. I appreciate any help I can get!


Parents are replacing my Macbook Pro (2014) but I'd prefer to not get another Apple product ($1300 USD, United States)

The laptop I recieved was not capable of the specs that were listed. The build quality was terrible. It was supposed to a Dell xps 13 9310 but it had the look and feel of a Dell 3100 chromebook. There is a $1500 difference in the price between the two models but it seemed like Amazon thought they were the same

 It was supposed to a Dell xps 13 9310 but it had the look and feel of a Dell 3100 chromebook. There is a $1500 difference in the price between the two models but it seemed like Amazon thought they were the same. I would not purchase this laptop unless you want an overpriced chromebook.
