Alienware m16 R1 review: QHD gaming machine with RTX 4060 and Thunderbolt 4

Freedom of choice.

Alienware's gaming notebook provides an extremely flexible hardware configuration. Our test device offers lots of performance (Core i7-13700HX, GeForce RTX 4060) and a decent level of equipment. Battery runtimes, however, are unable to keep pace with the times.

Gaming, rendering, and content creation are likely to be the main areas of application for the Alienware m16 R1. Raptor Lake and Ada Lovelace provide the necessary computing power. Our variant is an entry-level model from the m16-R1 series; we recently had a sister model from the upper end of the performance scale. Competing devices include the Acer Predator Helios 16 PH16-71, the Medion Erazer Defender P40, the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8, the XMG Pro 15 (E23) and the Aorus 15 BSF.

Information about the case, equipment and input devices can be found in our review of the near-identical sister model.

Equipment and Input Devices - Differences to the AMD model

  • The two USB-C ports of the Intel-based m16 models support Thunderbolt 4 (AMD: only USB 3.2 Gen 2), including DisplayPort and Power Delivery. But be careful: powering the notebook or charging the battery via USB-C is not possible. The USB-C ports can only supply energy.
  • Instead of the mechanical keyboard (CherryMX) of the sister model, our test device has a membrane keyboard. Its keys offer medium travel, a very clear pressure point and very firm resistance. Individual key lighting (RGB) is also possible.

On the plus side of the matte 16-inch screen (2560x1600, IPS) in 16:10 format is the absence of PWM flickering, G-Sync support (only for Intel m16 models) and short response times. The brightness and contrast of the 165 Hz panel reach the respective target (> 300 cd/m² or 1000:1).

Alternatively, there are two other displays (1x QHD+, 1x FHD+) that offer higher refresh rates and greater color space coverage. 4k, OLED, or mini-LED options are not available.

* ... smaller is better

The screen shows good color representation ex works: the target (DeltaE < 3) is reached with a deviation of around 2.6. Calibration further reduces this deviation to 0.85 and ensures more balanced gray levels. The panel is able to fully reproduce the sRGB color space, but not the AdobeRGB and DCI P3 color spaces. On the other hand, the P3 space can be reproduced on the alternative screens.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
7.3 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 3.6 ms rise
↘ 3.7 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 18 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.9 ms).

The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 11 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.8 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8705 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

The viewing-angle stable IPS panel can be read from any position. Outdoors, reading the screen is quite possible as long as the sun is not shining too brightly.

Performance - The Alienware notebook offers high system performance

Within the Alienware m16 R1 lineup, Ada Lovelace GPUs (RTX 4060, 4070, 4080) are combined with CPUs from Intel or AMD. There are two exceptions: certain AMD models can only be ordered with a Radeon RX 7600M XT and certain Intel models with a GeForce RTX 4090. Our Intel-based m16 device is available for around EUR 1,900, currently making it one of the cheapest representatives of the series.

Testing Conditions

Users can switch between five manufacturer-specific performance modes via the Alienware Command Center (laptop control center). A high-performance mode (maximum performance, fully firing fans) can be activated via the "F1" key. In our tests, the modes "Performance" (benchmarks) and "Balanced" (battery tests) were used.

Note: The sister model was tested with the "Overdrive" profile and the dGPU mode active. Thus, the benchmark results are not always directly comparable.

Processor

The Core-i7-13700HX processor (Raptor Lake) consists of eight efficiency cores (no hyperthreading, 1.5 to 3.7 GHz) and eight performance cores (hyperthreading, 2.1 to 5 GHz). In total there are 24 logical CPU cores.

The benchmark results are above the CPU average in mains operation. In battery mode, the more relevant single-thread performance (160 points) drops in a similar fashion to multi-thread performance (2,134 points).

The CB15 loop test confirms that CPU turbo can be permanently sustained. However, the clock rate drops slightly after the first run, regardless of the profile used. "Overdrive" ensures the highest overall level of performance.

Storage Devices

A 512 GB SSD (PCIe 4, M.2 2280) from Kioxia serves as the system drive. It delivers good data rates, but is not one of the top SSD models. Thermally induced throttlig did not occur. The notebook has room for another PCIe-4-SSD (M.2 2230 or M.2 2280). Other configurations of the m16 can even accommodate up to four SSDs.

The m16 offers space for two SSDs
