Reviews for the Alienware x16 R1

88.4% 英特尔酷睿i9-13900HK性能首次亮相:艾丽华x16 R1笔记本电脑评测 | Notebookcheck
与微星、华硕或雷蛇的替代品相比,Alienware笔记本电脑传统上更大、更重,但戴尔希望通过最新的Alienware x16 R1证明Alienware笔记本电脑仍然可以很薄,并且同样强大。至少在图形方面,它肯定不会让人失望。
80% Alienware X16 review: otherworldly performer
Source: Stuff TV English EN→zh-CN
The X16 is an undeniably slick gaming laptop. Alienware’s design team has done a fab job, delivering a machine that isn’t in-yer-face like a lot of rivals, but still find room inside for cutting-edge components and plenty of cooling. Connectivity isn’t compromised either, even if some might find it a bit cumbersome having all the ports at the rear. This isn’t the outright fastest RTX 4080 laptop around, and while not stupidly expensive, it carries the sort of price premium we’ve come to expect from anything Alienware. An Asus, MSI or Lenovo alternative will leave less of a dent in your wallet, despite packing similar hardware. Fan noise is also dramatic when gaming, and it doesn’t have the best display around. But those are the compromises you make if good looks are your top priority.

80% Alienware x16 review: game in style
Source: Techradar English EN→zh-CN
Every part of the Alienware x16 is top-notch: the stunning, clear, very bright and colorful 2560x1600 display, the cracking sound system, the RGB lighting, particularly the gorgeous RGB touchpad, and of course, the guts of the machine, the Nvidia RTX 4080 and the i9-13900HK. But it is very expensive, particularly considering some of its competitors use the more powerful i9 HX for their CPUs. Even so, if you have the money, you’ll find in the x16 a fantastic, very colorful laptop you can use for years to come.

80% Alienware x16 R1 Review
Source: PC Mag English EN→zh-CN
The Alienware x16 R1 is the whole package, with high-end performance, premium features, and a design you can't ignore. From the metal chassis and 240Hz display to the mechanical keyboard and RGB everything, it's an easy win for the Alienware faithful, and among Dell's best releases. However, if you're willing to spend even more money—which, when you're already at three grand, is basically dollars and cents—you'll find even more capable gaming laptops in arguably more widely acceptable and helpful designs. To that end, you'll find some downsides, namely the awkward port placement and the noisy fans. Compared with the category-leading and Editors' Choice-award-holding Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 8, the Alienware x16 R1 is a worthy alternative, but it doesn't quite dethrone the Lenovo as our favorite 16-inch gaming laptop. It all comes down to price versus performance: The Lenovo simply brings better performance at a more palatable price.

80% Alienware x16 (2023) review
Source: Tom's Guide English EN→zh-CN
The Alienware x16 features comparable performance to many of this year’s gaming laptops with 13th Gen Intel Core CPUs and RTX 40-series laptop GPUs. But it’s the X16’s slim profile and overall sleek design that distinguish it from the pack. If you want a gaming laptop that both looks great and runs phenomenally, this is an overall solid choice. However, I wish the display on the Alienware x16 was a bit brighter and more colorful, and it can run hot in spots when gaming. If the Alienware x16 isn’t to your liking, a similarly-specced Razer Blade 16 ($2,699) is an ideal alternative for those who want a stylish and powerful gaming laptop. The Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 ($2,899) is also a good choice even if it’s decidedly chunkier than the other two gaming laptops. Even if the Alienware x16 isn’t a revolutionary gaming laptop, it’s still worth considering due to its excellent gaming performance and killer design. If you can afford it, this is a laptop worth the splurge.

70% The Alienware x16 is almost my favorite gaming laptop. Here’s why it’s not
Source: Digital Trends English EN→zh-CN
I sincerely hope Alienware iterates on this design in the future. The x16 needed a little more time to bake to reach its full potential, but the laptop we have today is still a solid starting point. Great performance, an excellent keyboard, and a relatively thin package make it stand out among desktop replacements, even if it doesn’t quite surpass a machine like the Zephyrus M16. Although this is a solid foundation, there are a fair few problems. The lack of the full 100W of USB-C power delivery vastly limits the laptop’s portability, and the screen, despite being good for gaming, needs a second pass for color accuracy and quality. It’s possible Alienware could address the screen, at least, with a software update, and maybe a minor mid-gen refresh could add proper USB-C power delivery. We’ll just have to wait and see.
