Nice laptop. Doesn't match up to my Alienware though

Nice laptop. Doesn't match up to my Alienware though

let's see.

Alienware 15 R2. 32GB RAM. 1TB SSD + 1TB SATA. Nvidia GeForce GTX 980M (8GB). 4k display (3840 x 2160).

Seriously? u wan take this compare dat

yes. 15 inch 4k (3840 x 2160) display to a FHD (1920 x 1080) 17 inch display

yes. 1tb ssd + 1tb sata to a 2x 512ssd

yes. win 10 pro to win 10 home

yes. liquid cooling for a laptop is just a gimmick. talk about loss of portability

sadly, 64gb ram is better than mine. it has 4 slots compared to 2. still, not many programs can use the difference between 32gb ram and 64gb

I see how u conveniently left out the GPU & CPU comparions.

The ASUS is Intel Core i7 (6th Gen) 6820HK (2.70-3.60GHz) while the Alienware is Intel® Intel® Core™ i7-6820HK (Quad-Core, 8MB Cache, Dynamically Overclocked up to 4.1GHz)

The ASUS is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 - 8 GB GDDR5 while the Alienware is NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 980M with 8GB GDDR5

Anything else you want to compare?

Ok. The only reason why anyone ll buy this Asus or the Alienware is simply bcoz of gaming.

And in terms of gaming performance,
The Asus has a gtx 980. While the Alienware is gtx 980m. The 980 is better(approximately about 30%) than the 980m. The 980 has higher core speed and memory speed. And the 980 can handle games on n 4k far better than the 980m.

The Asus has the i7 6820HK while Alienware according to my research(correct me if i'm wrong) runs on i7 6700HQ. While there's still a lot of similarities between both CPUs, the 6820hk is still has higher clock speeds 6700hq. The 6820hk runs on 2.7 GHz and 3.6 GHz overclocked. While 6700HQ is 2.6 GHz and 3.5 GHz overclocked.

Ram comparisons is negligible since both are higher than the 16GB threshold.

So the assumption that ur Alienware is better than the Asus just because it has native 4k resolution and an extra 1TB is false. And u were even comparing Windows 10 pro and Windows 10 home?? Really?? What are the major difference??
If u had like the win 10 enterprise and above sef u for still get point......small.

Anyways, my point is Alienware is nothing more than an overpriced Dell. The Asus beats the Alienware in terms of shear power and performance.





















Besides, with the 800k, and even in dis Buhari economy, u'll get a decent gaming laptop with a 970/980 and still build a standard gaming desktop with small change left sef.

the GTX 980 is better than the GTX 980M, but isn't the extra heat the reason for that over-sized liquid cooling attachment? All that extra bulk just to play at a slightly better framerate? Yet, you're still playing at 1080p, you need two power outlets just to play? It is like having a Mac Truck engine in a Picanto.

The Alienware uses i7 6820HK overclocked to 3.6 ghz also. So.....................................................

A 17 inch 1080p to a 15 inch 2160p?

The Asus has 2 512gb SSD drives. The Alienware has a 1TB SSD PLUS another 1 TB. I guess the Asus expects you to plug another external hard drive.... since you're connecting the liquid cooling lump anyways.

Gaming isn't the only reason for buying this kind of machine. It is used in businesses too. I use mine for office work (run multiple virtual machines concurrently) and Win Home has no place in a an office.

IT HAS A 4K RESOLUTION "my bad" copy and past err
