A Sale I Couldn't Resist
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've always had good luck with Alienware computers. I was using them in the early 2000's when only elite gamers had heard of them. The company was purchased by Dell on March 22, 2006. This put worry in the hearts of some of the hard-core gamers who loved the boutique company. In my experience with their products, Alienware computers have vastly improved since the Dell acquisition of the company. The packaging, the unboxing experience, and the quality of this laptop is impressive. It feels well built, and because of the off-white paint job, Alienware calls it Lunar Light, Some think it's plastic, but nope, it's metal. I have played World of Warcraft with the graphics set to seven for up to eight hours with no thermal issues. If it did throttle some, I had no perceivable difference in gameplay as I was casting heals in raids and dungeons. There is some fan noise, but I do not find it objectionable. Like most gamers on a laptop, I use a headset anyway, so the speaker quality of the laptop, which is typically average in most laptops, and the fan noise when gaming, is a non-issue for me. The sound quality is not great though the laptop speakers, but not bad either. In the opinion of many, the trackpad is on the small side. I use an Alienware Tri-mode mouse that matches the laptop, also available at Best Buy, so the trackpad is also a non-issue. I think this opinion would apply to most gamers, who will use a mouse instead of the trackpad. Like with most ultra books, the upgradability of this laptop is limited to the SSD, and the Wi-Fi card, but with the intel card that it comes with, why upgrade? The SSD is easily accessible, but the motherboard is inverted, so the ram is inaccessible. I recommend the Nvidia RTX 3060 card. It seems to be a great pairing with this intel i-7 configuration for 1080P gaming. I play World of Warcraft on high settings, for hours most days, since I'm retired. My best advice is to catch this laptop on sale. I got a brand new one from Best Buy for $1199.00. That's a $700.00 discount. In summary, this computer is well built, the keyboard gives me a great typing experience, reminiscent of the Dell XPS keyboard, and the portability is awesome. If you need a computer that's easy to carry around, and gives great gaming performance, this is a good choice, but again, catch it on sale.

Dell Alienware x14 - A Perfect Blend of Power and
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had the pleasure of using the Dell Alienware x14 for a year now, and I must say, it has truly exceeded my expectations. This laptop is the epitome of the perfect balance between power and portability.In terms of design, the Dell Alienware x14 stands out with its sleek aluminum build and a pristine white color that exudes sophistication. Weighing just 1.79 kg (3.95 lbs) and measuring 321.5 x 262.7 x 14.5 mm (12.66 x 10.34 x 0.57 inches), it's incredibly portable without compromising on durability.The 14-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and a refresh rate of 144 Hz delivers an immersive viewing experience. The G-Sync technology ensures smooth visuals, making it ideal for both work and gaming. The display's impressive color accuracy, with 100% sRGB and 87.6% Adobe RGB profile, truly enhances the visual experience.Performance-wise, the Alienware x14 is an absolute powerhouse. With top-tier specifications under the hood, it handles even the most demanding tasks with ease. The laptop is exceptionally quiet, thanks to its active cooling system and two fans. Even at maximum load, the noise level is kept at a comfortable 53 dB.One of the notable features is the opening angle of 140°, providing flexibility in adjusting the screen to the perfect viewing angle. The keyboard is a joy to use, providing a satisfying typing experience. The laptop's battery life is commendable, lasting through long work sessions without constantly worrying about recharging.In conclusion, the Dell Alienware x14 is a brilliant laptop that seamlessly combines power, style, and portability. Whether you're a professional looking for productivity or a gamer seeking high-performance, this laptop delivers on all fronts. I wholeheartedly recommend the Dell Alienware x14 for anyone in search of a reliable and powerful companion in their digital endeavors.

Alienware x14 Black Friday purchase review
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first gaming laptop, and I'm not really a gamer but I wanted a computer that would handle a couple of games I enjoy playing and my old computer could not handle them. So far I'm very satisfied with the gaming experience - the graphics are great, I've seen 0 lag, and the computer loads everything very quickly. However the processor lets you know it's working, which may be my one concern,..it will rev up a lot and I have not done a temp check yet but from other reviews, I've seen this computer has some problems with temp limits but we'll see in time. Now I also bought this for something lightweight, highly portable and still performs well with multiple applications open. From what I've experienced it checks off all those points - I still can't believe how thin it is, which is great for saving weight but like newer laptop models doing away with multiple USB-A and other useful ports, disappointing. And I do admit if I'm wearing my out-of-date and out-of-prescription glasses the screen is so small I do have to bring the laptop closer to my face or turn up the brightness to see small print. For work this is not a problem but in certain games that display small text it's been a small challenge. Overall I'm very happy with the purchase and hope it functions for years to come!

The Review
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Small form factor big internal package, it is difficult to fit high end performance in such a little package and this Alienware X14 succeeded. The laptop is a solid keeper “only on flash sale,” but be mindful of (1) MAJOR PROBLEM of not careful. The fans sometimes does not work rendering this to over heat and trigger the fail safe so that it does not damage the internals, and if your a nerd / enthusiast like I am, that is not gonna fly by any means. I reached out to Dell Alienware, and long story short they said is has something to involve the bios of a corrupted file that turns on the fan. In my own personal experience this is what has seems to work consistently, at least for me. When you open up a game using Command Center “Alienware” the fans has a tendency to not work, however if you open up a game using NVIDIA Experience the fans start instantly. I have monitored this for (1) week now and it seems to have solved my fan problem. At any rate, my suggestion is to extended desktop to a separate monitor “setting to main display” and opening Command Center on the laptop monitor selecting the temperature tab just so you can monitor the health. I know it’s extra steps but it’s your investment.

Alienware X14 Gaming Laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really good price for the specs. Performance wise it is pretty decent can’t rlly ask for more in a gaming laptop. Lightweight easy to carry and runs games smoothly. Only downside is the noise. When running more than 3-4 apps the laptop sounds like it is about to take off the landing strip. If u can ignore the noise this laptop is amazing!!!

After years of dealing with sun-minimum performance I finally found the right fit for me. Highly recommend this laptop and make sure u get a laptop cooling pad as well. Fans are loud when gaming but the graphic capability is insane.

Fantastic, but wait for a sale!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m very satisfied with my X14. I was able to secure a geek squad certified open box unit at a significant discount. As the unit does leave a few things to be desired, I am not sure I’d be willing to pay full price for this laptop. At the price I paid, this is a 5 star product without question. Had I paid full price, I’d probably give 3.5-4 as I would expect a bit more “juice” at that high price point. It runs smooth and is generally quiet when I am doing basic tasks such as using Microsoft office, emails, youtube, or browsing the web. I get roughly 4 hours of battery life with the screen at around 70% brightness and keyboard set to “Dim” in command center. I have not tested in “battery saver” mode, but I imagine you could get another hour or so while using that mode. The fans will kick on while gaming, but the noise is not bothersome to me and the unit stays at solid temps. I wouldn’t bother gaming on this unit unless it is plugged in as the battery drains very quickly. The overall size is impressive, and as advertised, is incredibly thin. The hinge system does make this laptop a bit deeper than you’d expect on most 13” or 14” laptops, but I am still able to comfortably store it in my backpack and it is not at all burdensome when traveling. The quality is also really impressive - the unit does not feel cheap at all and definitely feels like a premium product with a very cool design. The GPU is very capable and I have had zero issues running games at high quality settings. I would suggest searching YouTube for more in depth reviews on this subject to make sure that it meets your needs, but like I said, I’ve had nothing but high quality and smooth gaming experiences. One downside is the very small SSD. 500 gigs is simply too small by todays standards, especially if you are paying full price. With that said, the SSD is easily serviceable, and I installed a 2TB drive with no issues. The 16gb of RAM will likely be enough for most users. I am able to multi task and run multiple things at once with ease. I’ve tested the laptop with my recording software, Studio One, and the unit holds up fine while live recording and working on large multi track projects. I imagine this unit being a great portable option for me when needed, but certainly will not be replacing my workhorse desktop for heavier workloads. I’m not bothered by the 16:9 display. Yes, 16:10 is becoming the standard, but this display is very capable and looks outstanding, clear, and defined. I also own a MacBook Pro which is 16:10, and I truly don’t have a preference, although, if you are hoping to frequently utilize coding or spreadsheet applications, you might benefit from a unit that has 16:10 screen instead. Overall, I find this machine to have a phenomenal balance of productivity, performance, and fun - all in a compact and portable size. I would certainly recommend this product, however, would also suggest you wait for a sale to pull the trigger to maximize value!
