Customer Ratings & Reviews

Fantastic product, worth every cent. Even the packaging is legit. The laptop itself, you can tell, is high quality and well made. Much nicer than my HP, that's for sure lol. The screen is very clear, and it's fast. You can play all day on this thing and never have any lag.

Alienware been around for Dell. They always knkwn for their brand and build. Yes spec might be a bit lower than other brand tou can buy but honestly the new gaming laptop from Dell that is thin it run very good.

I've respected the Alienware brand for many years. Mostly on the desktop line. I know of one friend that got an Alienware laptop many years ago and that was a large heavy beast at that time. So I was pleased to find this X14 with the specs I was looking for but measuring at less than 3/4 of an inch thick. In the box, you get the laptop, a decent power supply (130W) and a few pieces of regulatory papers. Overall, the build quality seems very good with one temporary exception that I noted in the trackpad. On the first day, while tapping (not clicking) the trackpad was making a slight clicking noise like something was loose. That seems to have fixed itself. One of the marketed features of the laptop body is its thinness. To achieve this, they've moved all the I/O ports to the rear of the laptop. This gives you a little more freedom with cabling setup because I've had to wrap cords around the rear of my laptops because my power outlet is on my right side whereas the power port is mostly found on the left side of many of my laptops. At the rear, you can find your USB-C port for your power supply and Display capabilities. A headphone jack, HDMI port, USB-A, MicroSD Slot, and two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 capability. The monitor hinge sits almost 1-3/4 inches forward from the rear of the laptop. This reminds me of the old Toshiba T1100 first laptop style design. It takes a little getting used to. While I like having the ports on the rear, this also means that I am losing more desk depth because of the combination of a longer laptop body and the length of cable sticking out of the back of the computer. Although the screen size is 14", because of the longer laptop body, you'll need to be more selective over the carrying case for this laptop. You just can't pick up any 14" sleeve since the body seems to be about 2" longer than most 14" laptops. In terms of specs, I think this laptop has a very good blend. It has a 12th Gen i7 which has 6 performance cores with hyperthreading and 8 efficiency cores giving you capacity of 20 threads. It's paired off with 16 GB of 5200 MHz RAM. I think 16 is the right amount for most usage scenarios. Anything less than that I would be worried about starving the processor. The storage is 512 GB on a Gen4 NVMe Samsung PM9A1, which gives you up to 7000 MB/s reads and 5200 MB/s writes. I looked up the service manual for this laptop and you cannot upgrade the memory but you can upgrade the storage for this model. I see myself upgrading the storage within the next several months as 512 GB can be consumed quite quickly with just a few modern games. There is a Front-Facing Camera capable of 720p resolution. But more importantly, it is Windows Hello compatible! After setting up the system, I was very pleased with the display. It is bright and vivid. It's capable of 144 MHz refresh and it's powered by an nVidia GeForce RTX 3060 with 6 GB of RAM. The keyboard is backlit with multi-color LED. From the Alienware Command Center software, you can set the color, brightness and light patterns for the keyboard and the Alienware logo on the lid. The controls for each are handled separately. I immediately loaded Flight Simulator from 2020. Graphics were buttery smooth with no hesitation. However, thermals is where this laptop disappoints. The fans scream within a few seconds of loading the game. They sound like jet engines preparing for takeoff. While I was able to hear the audio of the game, it took a significant amount away from the gaming experience. If you're going to play a game where the sound is more nuanced, I highly recommend a good pair of Active Noise Cancelling headphones. This is not terribly surprising as any gaming laptop needs to balance styling, and in this case it's thinness, with thermal management. But I would personally accept a thicker styled laptop for the sake of a few dBs of sound. After an hour of gameplay, the keyboard area was warm, but not excessively hot. I'm really quite impressed with the Alienware x14. I'm enjoying getting back into PC gaming and the system is matched up quite well to deliver a detailed and very smooth gaming experience if not for the thermals. The construction is surprisingly thin and belies the power contained.

Very nice laptop, it’s very fast, nice looking shell and keyboard. I like the size where I can take places and when at home connect it to a monitor for a great picture.

This laptop is really something else! I’ve not owned an Alienware for quite some time… I’ve had ROG units the last several years. The finish of this laptop is just stunning… I’d give it a 10/10. Performance wise it is on par with the G14. I had one so I could do a direct comparison. It really comes down to whether you want Intel or AMD. :) For the sale price this laptop is unbeatable. It does everything I need it to do. I’d say the only negative is the HD space… Luckily that is upgradable though. A 512gb HD in 2023 is just silly… it needs to be at least 1TB.

Pros -Fast processor and graphics card -High refresh rate monitor -Works the same both on and off power -Lightweight and sleek profile -Has many color options for the keyboard and Alien Symbol backlight -Great speaker quality -Keyboard and trackpad are responsive and are pleasant to use on a daily basis -Quiet when not playing games -Boot times are quick -Comes with all the necessary software to use out of the box -No noticeable video stuttering, frame tearing, or screen freezing while browsing the web or playing video games -Supports micro-sd cards for extra storage -RAM is easily upgradable -Supports all the latest games, apps, and software anyone would need (Windows 11 Pre-Installed) Cons -Webcam video quality isn't the best -Battery life on high performance mode is lower than anticipated -Heats up quickly when playing games and has loud fans when the processor and graphics card are under heavy use -Only has one USB-A port, meaning it is less compatible with older hardware devices -Has no Ethernet port for instant data transfer speeds (WIFI only)

Alienware x14 r1 gaming laptop is the best. O it'd be fun I bet. Dont have one and can't afford one but want one. Would be nice to have the best. But dreams are just dreams in my head.

This is a pretty awesome gaming laptop. Keep in mind, the smaller the form factor, the more difficult to pack in hardware, and push it to highest performance. The heat generated, and ability to cool it, becomes the limiting factor. However, this laptop does a remarkably good job. I have found it runs games at high - and depending on game - even ultra settings. Excellent performance in a compact - and very thin - laptop. Playing games, the fans cranked into high, but I didn't notice any "throttling". Keyboard is good - and as thin as the laptop is, has good travel and feel. Trackpad is a bit too narrow, and may take some getting used to. Needless to say, with this much horsepower, with everyday tasks, surfing, and other uses, it is super fast. Battery life is reasonable if just surfing or emails, but keep in mind, with gaming, may stay near an outlet.... I do see 2 drawbacks.... Due to hardware and cooling, the laptop is almost 1 1/2 inches deeper than other 14 laptops. And, not sure why, but the secondary symbols ($, %,), are not backlit as all other characters are. Overall, I highly recommend this - not only for gaming, but blazing through everyday tasks. And, if on sale, it becomes a great value....

You know It is excellent……my sun like it so much and he play all day

This thing is amazing would recommend to everyone!
