Q: Does this Alienware have a Core i9 12900HK or Core i9 12900H?
A: This system comes with Intel Core i9 12900H processor.
Q: IS this variant the 3080 or 3080 ti ?
A: It’s the 3080, not the 3080TI.
Q: Does this laptop has a 16gb GPU? Usually all the other laptops with 3080 has 8gb GPU.
A: This laptop comes with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Graphics which has a memory size of 16 GB.
A: Yes, the RAM could be swapped between the two SO-DIMM slots.
Q: What's the average battery life with just simple web browsing and nothing else on power saving mode?
A: This laptop comes with a 6-Cell, 87 WH (Integrated) lithium-ion battery. Battery operating time varies depending on operating conditions and can significantly reduce under certain power-intensive conditions.
Q: Does this model have a mux switch?
A: It actually has advanced Optimus which is essentially an automatic mux switch. The NVIDIA software detects when you launch a game and switches to the graphics card. I think you can manually enable the mix switch, but you’d have to go into the BIOS.
