1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:05,680 the first OLED gaming display is here 2 00:00:03,679 --> 00:00:12,240 OLED I mean I've been waiting for something to bring CRT like response 3 00:00:08,679 --> 00:00:15,200 time back to the PC since Canon crushed 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:22,320 my dreams back in 2010 by officially discontinuing development of their s 5 00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:25,400 technology well OLED has that potential 6 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:27,119 but so far the best OLED displays are LG 7 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:32,480 TVs which have notoriously terrible processing leg so 8 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:36,120 the pixels can be as fast as you please but gaming still feels like telling your 9 00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:41,719 friend in the Next Room which buttons to press for you which okay sorry I digress 10 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:48,680 okay so the display I'm talking about OLED gaming display it's connected to a 11 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:51,960 laptop the alien wear 13 R3 now with a 12 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:54,079 13-in OLED display in case you hadn't 13 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:58,920 picked up on that before let's take her for a 14 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:05,960 spin 15 00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:12,240 Corsair's ml fans feature magnetic levitation technology and Custom 16 00:01:10,439 --> 00:01:16,479 Engineered rotors to provide a high performance low noise experience learn 17 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:22,759 more at the link in the video description the Alienware 13 strikes as 18 00:01:19,759 --> 00:01:26,119 fine a balance between Tastefully 19 00:01:22,759 --> 00:01:28,720 aggressive looking and Gody and tacky as 20 00:01:26,119 --> 00:01:33,680 any gaming PC with an alien theme possibly could and and rocks a pretty 21 00:01:31,079 --> 00:01:38,640 strong I/O configuration with USB type-c and type a super speed ports on the 22 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:41,000 right an additional type A and dedicated 23 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:48,719 headphone and mic ports on the left and gigabit killer Ethernet mini display 24 00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:51,600 port HDMI 2.0 Thunderbolt 3 Alien wear's 25 00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:57,439 proprietary external GPU dock connector and Power in at the back flanked by some 26 00:01:54,840 --> 00:02:04,240 large rear heat sinks that vent hot air down back and up for optimal cool 27 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:07,640 immediately noticeable are both its size 28 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:11,400 and weight considering the Alienware 29 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:13,560 13's 13in screen size so the numbers 30 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:17,800 listed on Dell site are meaningless the depth is based on the edge even though 31 00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:21,760 the center is a full centimeter more I can't for the life of me figure out 32 00:02:19,239 --> 00:02:27,720 where they measured the 23.3 mm height and the width is off by a whopping six 33 00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:30,720 CM oops but anyway when I measured it 34 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:33,120 myself it worked out to about 2 L of 35 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:39,560 internal volume so for comparison the Razer Blade 14 with quite similar specs 36 00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:45,400 comes in at less than 3/4 of that while weighing half a kilogram less so how can 37 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:47,360 Dell justify it well easy upgradeability 38 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:51,640 is one good way making our way to the bottom these five normal Philips head 39 00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:56,040 screws are all that stand between you and the m.2 slots that you can use to 40 00:02:53,640 --> 00:03:01,840 upgrader ad ssds and RAM slots that you can use to install up to 32 gigs of ddr4 41 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:07,400 RAM just like that Inspire and value gaming machine that we checked out here 42 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:11,720 unlike that one however the Alienware 13 is packing some serious heat under the 43 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:15,440 plastic cover that protects all the stuff that you shouldn't be tooling 44 00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:21,360 around with this tricked out config got a COR i7 6700hq quad core with 45 00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:25,519 hyperthreading 16 gigs of RAM a 512 gig 46 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:28,400 nbme SSD and a VR capable GTX 1060 with 47 00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:33,840 6 gigs of vram that ended up packing more of a punch than I expected more on 48 00:03:31,239 --> 00:03:38,959 that later first let's flip this puppy over and talk about the important stuff 49 00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:50,610 that you're going to see and touch every time you use the machine the RGB 50 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,000 lighting there are nine lighting zones 51 00:03:54,319 --> 00:04:01,599 including this is the first time I've seen this one an RGB trackpad which 52 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:05,640 admittedly actually looks really cool too bad its functionality could be 53 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:10,319 improved it does track accurately and feels very responsive to the touch but I 54 00:04:08,239 --> 00:04:14,599 found it a bit small and I found the chin of the laptop combined with the 55 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:19,079 depth of the clicky buttons below made them a little bit awkward to use 56 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:23,080 fortunately the keyboard is mostly good news typing experience- wise it's not 57 00:04:21,359 --> 00:04:27,919 the best that I've used but it's far from the worst the layout is very good 58 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:32,840 with full-sized arrow keys and the long travel distance and reassuring tactile 59 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:37,919 feel were great for gaming on top of that for a small device it feels 60 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:40,000 surprisingly not cramped maybe because 61 00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:44,680 Dell ended up stashing the speakers on the side of the unit which I was all 62 00:04:42,199 --> 00:04:49,840 geared up to complain about until they totally kicked my ass with solid output 63 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:56,039 volume which is necessary when using speakers on a gaming laptop fans and 64 00:04:53,680 --> 00:05:00,479 surprisingly lifelike 3D positional audio they ended up being a highlight of 65 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:06,680 this machine along along with Windows hello presence detection which by the 66 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:09,759 way is still freaking amazing but not as 67 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:12,479 amazing as the display boy is it 68 00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:19,520 beautiful so my config has the optional 2560 x440 OLED touchscreen monitor that 69 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:25,560 boasts perfect black levels shockingly vibrant colors and some other advantages 70 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:28,319 that were like a breath of fresh air for 71 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:33,160 a gamer who grew up on old school CRT monitors look 72 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:39,080 at the difference in Mouse movement to screen movement response time here the 73 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:42,000 blade 14 at about 40 milliseconds at 60 74 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:48,560 HZ is far from the worst I've seen But the Alienware 13 is right down around 25 75 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:54,919 milliseconds a full screen refresh faster which only accounts for faster 76 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:59,240 processing time the pixel response times contribute equally to the perceived 77 00:05:57,319 --> 00:06:07,560 Clarity and responsiveness of the display because they keep the image looking 78 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:09,680 crisp even during fast camera pans it is 79 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:15,440 awesome which doesn't mean though that it's perfect It suffers from Best Buy TV 80 00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:20,880 syndrome a little bit in that color saturation is off the hook but with a 81 00:06:18,759 --> 00:06:25,080 little bit of tuning of in-game gamma controls I think you'll find that most 82 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:30,479 of the Shadow crushing effects can be countered for an unreal if a little 83 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:35,560 small gaming EXP experience let's talk performance and 84 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:41,400 usability now the Alienware 13 scores pretty well here in spite of the beef do 85 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:43,720 battery off-all life is unexceptional at 86 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:50,120 about 2 hours in change in PC Mark's conventional work test and one hour of 87 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:53,319 continuous Crisis 3 gaming but it runs 88 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:55,720 fanless under very light loads stays 89 00:06:53,319 --> 00:07:00,520 much quieter than the blade 14 under gaming loads maintains reasonable 90 00:06:58,199 --> 00:07:05,720 surface temperatures on both top and bottom while gaming and manages to do 91 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:09,919 all of that while performing as well as the blade 92 00:07:06,919 --> 00:07:13,680 14 they both end up falling behind a 93 00:07:09,919 --> 00:07:16,440 desktop GTX 1060 probably due to power 94 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:20,759 delivery limitations but remember guys that's to be expected especially on 1 95 00:07:18,759 --> 00:07:26,280 and 1/2 to 2 L machines which leads us then to the 96 00:07:23,039 --> 00:07:29,199 obvious conclusion the Alienware 13 is 97 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:33,879 the hands down winner right well maybe not 98 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:36,960 who made a better computer personally I 99 00:07:33,879 --> 00:07:38,639 still prefer razer's approach but while 100 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:43,800 I'm not ready to switch to the MacBook Pro fulltime I also don't really gain 101 00:07:41,599 --> 00:07:50,280 that much anymore which means that I'm willing to make some compromises there 102 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:53,080 for reduced weight and a larger display 103 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:59,159 with that said the Alienware 13 is a better pure gaming machine in almost 104 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:04,599 every way the webcam kind of sucks but the display is better the keyboard is 105 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:10,720 better I mean the list goes on iO cooling noise I mean heck even alien 106 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:12,960 wear's external GPU enclosure is cheaper 107 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:20,159 if you want to upgrade your video card down the road just like the blade don't 108 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:27,840 expect any of that to come cheap because this is a serious toy for serious 109 00:08:24,479 -->
