- 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.

Q: QuestionIs the Display UHD or just HD?(1 answer)
A: AnswerThe Alienware x16 R2 with a 240Hz display typically comes with a QHD+ (2560 x 1600) resolution rather than UHD. This is higher than Full HD but not quite 4K (UHD). The QHD+ resolution strikes a balance between detail and performance, especially for gaming, and the 240Hz refresh rate provides exceptionally smooth visuals during gameplay.Answered by YourDellTeam
Q: QuestionIs this unit wireless it has no mention of what type of wireless setup it has. Thanks Tom(1 answer)
A: AnswerHi Tom, This has Intel Killer™ 1750 2x2 and Bluetooth 5.4 Wireless Card with Wifi 7 ReadyAnswered by YourDellTeam
- 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.

When an Alien and XPS have a baby
I've used a lot of Alienware devices over the past decade and this is by far one of the best. This new design shares similarities with the XPS, which is also a solid platform. It's very much like the best of both platforms were merged into one. Performance, quality, and usability are great. Very happy with this.
