Reviews for the Alienware x14 R2 2023
Alienware x14 R2 Review
Source: PC Mag
As a system engineered to deliver on the concept of a portable gaming laptop, the Alienware x14 R2 impresses. It looks and feels high in quality, it's supremely portable with long battery life, and it has enough power for some high-end, sharper-resolution gaming. You'll certainly see that a premium was put upon the product to achieve the small size, but that’s true for all 14-inch gaming machines. Just as crucially, the starting price is reasonable—way lower than some—with alternative configuration options to better fit your budget. The Razer Blade 14 definitively delivers more high-end graphics power in its RTX 4070 configuration versus this RTX 4060 recipe, but you have to pay up and then some for the even more luxurious build. In the end, we’d also question whether the 14-inch category is really all about power.

This Alienware laptop has no business being this powerful for its size

Dell has managed to carve out an interesting niche for the Alienware x14 R2 by existing during a time when compact, yet powerful gaming laptops are far and few in between. Although it may face some fierce competition soon as Lenovo recently announced its 14-inch Legion Slim 5 gaming laptop. Spoiler alert: it also runs an RTX 4060. If you don't mind paying a little extra for performance, Alienware x14R2 is a good choice. Everything that made the original beloved by users, from the paper-thin form factor to multiple ports, is present. Although I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to wait for a price drop.
