AMD knocked it out of the park with its Ryzen series of mobile CPUs, but there's no question that its discrete mobile GPUs have been falling behind. The Radeon RX 7900M rights the ship by being just as powerful as the mobile RTX 4080 fur hundreds of dollars less.https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-RX-7900M-performance-debut-Alienware-m18-R1-laptop-review.771237.0.html

Starting the read from 'Energy management' never fails. )
Quotethe fans in our AMD unit would pulse rather frequently and seemingly for no reason when browsing the web or streaming video. The system would run silently at 23 dB(A) and then sharply pulse up to 33.5 dB(A)
How this product can see the light of the day? It is obviously not ready.
It's pretty wild how problems like this are almost always exclusive to specifically Alienware but rarely other Dell models.
Hey where is the 4k display ?
Does anyone knows when it will be available ?
The big problem with this laptop is that you can't get the full range of specs with the AMD graphics. If you want the RAID options, you're forced to use the nVidia graphics. If you want the higher-resolution screen, same thing. When they first listed the laptop, you were also forced to nVidia when selecting 64GB, though that's no longer the case.

So true ! I do the same, and often laugh.
And it's even worse when you know that most battery test on review sites are BS.
In my experience, you can almost divide the figures by 2

But let me guess - multiply the figures by 2 for Apple devices, right?
