00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:05.680
the first OLED gaming display is here

00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:12.240
OLED I mean I've been waiting for something to bring CRT like response

00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:15.200
time back to the PC since Canon crushed

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:22.320
my dreams back in 2010 by officially discontinuing development of their s

00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:25.400
technology well OLED has that potential

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:27.119
but so far the best OLED displays are LG

00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:32.480
TVs which have notoriously terrible processing leg so

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:36.120
the pixels can be as fast as you please but gaming still feels like telling your

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:41.719
friend in the Next Room which buttons to press for you which okay sorry I digress

00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:48.680
okay so the display I'm talking about OLED gaming display it's connected to a

00:00:44.360 --> 00:00:51.960
laptop the alien wear 13 R3 now with a

00:00:48.680 --> 00:00:54.079
13-in OLED display in case you hadn't

00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:58.920
picked up on that before let's take her for a

00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:05.960
spin

00:01:05.960 --> 00:01:12.240
Corsair's ml fans feature magnetic levitation technology and Custom

00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:16.479
Engineered rotors to provide a high performance low noise experience learn

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:22.759
more at the link in the video description the Alienware 13 strikes as

00:01:19.759 --> 00:01:26.119
fine a balance between Tastefully

00:01:22.759 --> 00:01:28.720
aggressive looking and Gody and tacky as

00:01:26.119 --> 00:01:33.680
any gaming PC with an alien theme possibly could and and rocks a pretty

00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:38.640
strong I/O configuration with USB type-c and type a super speed ports on the

00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:41.000
right an additional type A and dedicated

00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:48.719
headphone and mic ports on the left and gigabit killer Ethernet mini display

00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:51.600
port HDMI 2.0 Thunderbolt 3 Alien wear's

00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:57.439
proprietary external GPU dock connector and Power in at the back flanked by some

00:01:54.840 --> 00:02:04.240
large rear heat sinks that vent hot air down back and up for optimal cool

00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:07.640
immediately noticeable are both its size

00:02:04.240 --> 00:02:11.400
and weight considering the Alienware

00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:13.560
13's 13in screen size so the numbers

00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:17.800
listed on Dell site are meaningless the depth is based on the edge even though

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

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

00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:30.720
CM oops but anyway when I measured it

00:02:27.720 --> 00:02:33.120
myself it worked out to about 2 L of

00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:39.560
internal volume so for comparison the Razer Blade 14 with quite similar specs

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

00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:47.360
Dell justify it well easy upgradeability

00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:51.640
is one good way making our way to the bottom these five normal Philips head

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

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

00:02:59.480 --> 00:03:07.400
RAM just like that Inspire and value gaming machine that we checked out here

00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:11.720
unlike that one however the Alienware 13 is packing some serious heat under the

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:15.440
plastic cover that protects all the stuff that you shouldn't be tooling

00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:21.360
around with this tricked out config got a COR i7 6700hq quad core with

00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:25.519
hyperthreading 16 gigs of RAM a 512 gig

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:28.400
nbme SSD and a VR capable GTX 1060 with

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

00:03:31.239 --> 00:03:38.959
that later first let's flip this puppy over and talk about the important stuff

00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:50.610
that you're going to see and touch every time you use the machine the RGB

00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:56.000
lighting there are nine lighting zones

00:03:54.319 --> 00:04:01.599
including this is the first time I've seen this one an RGB trackpad which

00:03:59.200 --> 00:04:05.640
admittedly actually looks really cool too bad its functionality could be

00:04:03.480 --> 00:04:10.319
improved it does track accurately and feels very responsive to the touch but I

00:04:08.239 --> 00:04:14.599
found it a bit small and I found the chin of the laptop combined with the

00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:19.079
depth of the clicky buttons below made them a little bit awkward to use

00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:23.080
fortunately the keyboard is mostly good news typing experience- wise it's not

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

00:04:25.520 --> 00:04:32.840
with full-sized arrow keys and the long travel distance and reassuring tactile

00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:37.919
feel were great for gaming on top of that for a small device it feels

00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:40.000
surprisingly not cramped maybe because

00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:44.680
Dell ended up stashing the speakers on the side of the unit which I was all

00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:49.840
geared up to complain about until they totally kicked my ass with solid output

00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:56.039
volume which is necessary when using speakers on a gaming laptop fans and

00:04:53.680 --> 00:05:00.479
surprisingly lifelike 3D positional audio they ended up being a highlight of

00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:06.680
this machine along along with Windows hello presence detection which by the

00:05:02.440 --> 00:05:09.759
way is still freaking amazing but not as

00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:12.479
amazing as the display boy is it

00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:19.520
beautiful so my config has the optional 2560 x440 OLED touchscreen monitor that

00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:25.560
boasts perfect black levels shockingly vibrant colors and some other advantages

00:05:22.520 --> 00:05:28.319
that were like a breath of fresh air for

00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:33.160
a gamer who grew up on old school CRT monitors look

00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:39.080
at the difference in Mouse movement to screen movement response time here the

00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:42.000
blade 14 at about 40 milliseconds at 60

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

00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:54.919
milliseconds a full screen refresh faster which only accounts for faster

00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:59.240
processing time the pixel response times contribute equally to the perceived

00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:07.560
Clarity and responsiveness of the display because they keep the image looking

00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:09.680
crisp even during fast camera pans it is

00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:15.440
awesome which doesn't mean though that it's perfect It suffers from Best Buy TV

00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:20.880
syndrome a little bit in that color saturation is off the hook but with a

00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:25.080
little bit of tuning of in-game gamma controls I think you'll find that most

00:06:22.960 --> 00:06:30.479
of the Shadow crushing effects can be countered for an unreal if a little

00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:35.560
small gaming EXP experience let's talk performance and

00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:41.400
usability now the Alienware 13 scores pretty well here in spite of the beef do

00:06:37.960 --> 00:06:43.720
battery off-all life is unexceptional at

00:06:41.400 --> 00:06:50.120
about 2 hours in change in PC Mark's conventional work test and one hour of

00:06:46.960 --> 00:06:53.319
continuous Crisis 3 gaming but it runs

00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:55.720
fanless under very light loads stays

00:06:53.319 --> 00:07:00.520
much quieter than the blade 14 under gaming loads maintains reasonable

00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:05.720
surface temperatures on both top and bottom while gaming and manages to do

00:07:02.960 --> 00:07:09.919
all of that while performing as well as the blade

00:07:06.919 --> 00:07:13.680
14 they both end up falling behind a

00:07:09.919 --> 00:07:16.440
desktop GTX 1060 probably due to power

00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:20.759
delivery limitations but remember guys that's to be expected especially on 1

00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:26.280
and 1/2 to 2 L machines which leads us then to the

00:07:23.039 --> 00:07:29.199
obvious conclusion the Alienware 13 is

00:07:26.280 --> 00:07:33.879
the hands down winner right well maybe not

00:07:30.080 --> 00:07:36.960
who made a better computer personally I

00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:38.639
still prefer razer's approach but while

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

00:07:41.599 --> 00:07:50.280
that much anymore which means that I'm willing to make some compromises there

00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:53.080
for reduced weight and a larger display

00:07:50.280 --> 00:07:59.159
with that said the Alienware 13 is a better pure gaming machine in almost

00:07:56.240 --> 00:08:04.599
every way the webcam kind of sucks but the display is better the keyboard is

00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:10.720
better I mean the list goes on iO cooling noise I mean heck even alien

00:08:07.520 --> 00:08:12.960
wear's external GPU enclosure is cheaper

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

00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:27.840
expect any of that to come cheap because this is a serious toy for serious

00:08:24.479 --> 00:08:29.960
Ballers speaking of Serious toys tunnel

00:08:27.840 --> 00:08:35.640
