Q: QuestionWhat is the difference between the m16 R2 and the x16 R2 models? Thanks(0 answers)
Asked by Cesar31
- A: AnswerNo, the Alienware x16 R2 does not have the same soft-touch finish on the palm rest that the m16 R2 has. Instead, the x16 R2 is designed with a more premium metal finish across the palm rest and keyboard deck, which gives it a sleek, durable feel. This design choice enhances the laptop's sturdiness and minimizes wear over time, though it lacks the softer, rubberized feel found on the m16 R2.

- A: AnswerOnly the RTX 4080s come with the “English US AlienFX RGB backlit Alienware CherryMX ultra low-profile mechanical keyboard” The one featured here is a 4070. So by default you will not get the CherryMX keyboard.

W gaming laptop
W specs. W thermals. Just a big dub overall. I played wow and ow all night and it didn’t over heat. This is a good gaming laptop if you travel a lot, and want pc feels.

Performance is not on this planet, blackhole...
Two strikes with back-to-back defective devices. First was a terrible bug with the touchpad, and the replacement has a serious issue with the wireless network card even after a reset. It is rare for me to say this, but avoid this one at all costs!
