Alienware x16 R2 laptop review: A step sideways from the x16 R1

Name: Alienware x16 R2 P120F
Brand: Alienware

Core Ultra 9 Meteor Lake update.

The latest Alienware x16 R2 gets a new integrated NPU for Windows AI acceleration, but it unfortunately comes at the cost of gaming performance. Users may still want to consider the 2023 Alienware x16 R1 for this reason.

Gaming Geforce Laptop Meteor Lake

The ultra-thin Alienware x16 series launched late last year with the debut of the Alienware x16 R1. For 2024, the series has been refreshed with the x16 R2. The newer model swaps out the older Raptor Lake-H processor options with AI-ready Meteor Lake-H options while everything else remains essentially the same as the original x16 R1 design. We therefore recommend checking out our review on the x16 R1 as most of our existing comments still apply for the visually identical x16 R2. Any notable differences will be noted in this review.

Our unit in review is a higher-end configuration with the Core Ultra 9 185H CPU, 175 W GeForce RTX 4080 GPU, 1600p 240 Hz display, and ultra-low profile CherryMX mechanical keys for approximately $3200 USD. Other SKUs include regular membrane-based keys and the Core Ultra 7 155H with GeForce RTX 4060, 4070, or 4090 graphics and 1200p 480 Hz IPS display instead.

Alternatives to the Alienware x16 R2 include other high-end 16-inch gaming laptops like the Razer Blade 16, Asus ROG Strix Scar 16, Lenovo Legion Pro 7 16, or MSI Vector 16 HX.

Maintenance

Display — No More 165 Hz Option

Dell has swapped out the BOE NE16NZ4 panel on last year's x16 R1 for the BOE B160QAN on this year's x16 R2. However, the two panels are otherwise almost identical in terms of color reproduction, response times, brightness levels, and contrast for an essentially identical viewing experience.

The native refresh rate can be set to 240 Hz or 60 Hz with no variable options. G-Sync is supported only when set to dGPU mode and not Optimus mode.

Users can configure between two displays as shown below whereas the x16 R1 had three:

2560 x 1600, 240 Hz, 100% DCI-P3, G-Sync, Advanced Optimus
1920 x 1200, 480 Hz, 100% DCI-P3, G-Sync, Advanced Optimus

The display is set to sRGB by default even though it supports full P3 colors. It is nonetheless decently calibrated albeit with the color temperature leaning slightly too warm.

Display Response Times

ℹ

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
7.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 3.9 ms rise
7.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 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. » 20 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.6 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
3.9 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 1.7 ms rise
3.9 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 2.2 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 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 13 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.2 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

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 8389 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Performance — Core Ultra 9 185H vs. Core i9-13900HK

Testing Conditions

We set Alienware Command Center to Overdrive mode and the graphics to dGPU mode for the best possible benchmark results. Owners are encouraged to become familiar with Command Center as it is the hub for adjusting RGB lighting effects and performance profiles.

Nvidia Control Panel offers no "iGPU only" mode as shown by the screenshot above.

Power profile settings

AlienFX controls all the RGB lighting features

Processor

The Core Ultra 9 185H is approximately 5 to 10 percent and 15 to 20 percent slower than the Core i9-13900HK in last year's x16 R1 when it comes to multi-threaded and single-threaded applications, respectively. Interestingly, downgrading to the Core Ultra 7 155H configuration is not expected to impact performance by any significant margins on our time with the Alienware m16 R2 as shown by the comparison chart below.

Raptor Lake-HX options such as the Core i9-14900HX are not available on the Alienware x16 series likely due to thermal limitations since these processors require more power than the Meteor Lake-H series. Such options would have offered significantly faster performance than both the Core i9-13900HK or Core Ultra 9 185H.

Stress Test

Core temperatures between the CPU and GPU are just as warm as what we recorded on the x16 R1. The CPU in particular still stabilizes at almost 100 C (!) when running Prime95 while the GPU stabilizes in the mid 80 C range when running Witcher 3. Interestingly, GPU clock rate is down across the board when compared to the x16 R1. The GPU would range between 2100 to 2325 MHz depending on the power profile compared to 2460 MHz on the original x16 R1. Board power draw would also be lower on the newer x16 R2 model (150 W vs. 165 W). These findings correlate with the generally slower graphics performance in the GPU Performance section below.

	Average CPU Clock (GHz)	GPU Clock (MHz)	Average CPU Temperature (°C)	Average GPU Temperature (°C)
System Idle	--	--	38	31
Prime95 Stress	3.2	--	101	50
Prime95 + FurMark Stress	2.2	2175	99	82
Witcher 3 Stress (Balanced mode)	0.7	2100	99	86
Witcher 3 Stress (Performance mode)	0.7	2250	87	86
Witcher 3 Stress (Overdrive mode)	0.8	2325	97	86

System Performance

PCMark results are about the same if not lower than before. Meanwhile, RAM is slightly faster this year (7467 MT/s vs. 6000 MT/s) for slightly higher AIDA64 copy/read results but slower write and latency results.

Storage Devices

Our test unit ships with the WDC PC SN810 instead of the SK Hynix PC801 on last year's model. The Western Digital drive can sustain maximum transfer rates for longer than the SK Hynix as shown by our DiskSpd loop graph below, but write rates are generally slower.

GPU Performance

The 175 W mobile GeForce RTX 4080 GPU remains the same albeit with 3DMark scores that are about 5 percent slower than what we recorded on the x16 R1. Upgrading to the RTX 4090 configuration is expected to improve performance by just 5 to 15 percent while downgrading to the RTX 4070 or 4060 will reduce performance by as much as 30 percent and 45 percent, respectively.

Power Profile	Graphics Score	Physics Score	Combined Score
Overdrive Mode	42558	29029	11691
Performance Mode	40773 (-4%)	26070 (-10%)	12450 (-7%)
Balanced Mode	40593 (-5%)	26746 (-8%)	12237 (-5%)
Battery Power	21754 (-49%)	25880 (-11%)	9863 (-16%)

Running the system on Performance mode instead of Overdrive mode will impact overall performance slightly as shown by our Fire Strike results table above. Interestingly, the difference between Performance and Balanced modes is comparatively much smaller.

Gaming Performance

Disappointingly, performance in games would be consistently slower than what we recorded on the x16 R1 by about 5 to 15 percent. The wider deltas would occur at lower resolutions while the smaller deltas would occur at higher resolutions which is consistent with the slower raw CPU performance results when compared to the Core i9-14900HK noted above.

Emissions

System Noise

The fans in the x16 R2 are able to remain quieter for longer periods before needing to ramp up in speed and noise. Otherwise, the noise ceiling is similar to what we recorded on the x16 R1 at about 50 dB(A) and 54 dB(A) when gaming on Performance mode and Overdrive mode, respectively. Note that fan noise when gaming on Balanced mode would be exactly the same as Performance mode which aligns with our 3DMark results above.

Temperature

Surface temperatures are very warm towards the back half of the chassis while the front half is noticeably cooler for palms and fingers. The Alienware x16 series utilizes more ventilation grilles than the m16 series by necessity since the x16 design is defined by its thinness.

Energy Management

Power Consumption

Overall consumption is generally lower than what we recorded on the x16 R1 by about 10 to 15 percent when running demanding loads like games or Prime95 stress. However, this deficit accompanies the slower CPU and GPU results noted above. Performance-per-watt is therefore about the same year-over-year despite the CPU change.

We encountered a bug when on Standby mode. If set to Optimus, Standby mode would operate normally with a low <1 watt power draw. If set to dGPU mode and Overdrive, however, Standby mode would demand as much as 39 W resulting in an unnecessarily warm laptop and high battery draw.

Unusually high power consumption of 39 W when on Standby mode with the dGPU active

Consumption would spike to 210 W when initiating Prime95 stress before steadily falling to 170 W over time

Prime95+FurMark stress initiated at 10s mark

Verdict — Alienware x16 R1 Is Faster For Pure Gaming

The big advantage that the Alienware x16 R2 has over the x16 R1 is its integrated NPU for accelerating Windows AI tasks. Such features are expected to become commonplace in the next year or so via Microsoft Co-Pilot and other upcoming Ai-driven applications. For gaming purposes, however, the NPU brings nothing to the table to improve the experience as of 2024. If anything, it's arguably detrimental as raw CPU performance has dropped when compared to the Core i9-13900HK in last year's x16 R1 since precious die space has been reserved for the new neural processor.

The Alienware x16 R2 introduces new Meteor Lake-H CPUs with an integrated NPU for compatibility with future Windows AI features. Unfortunately, raw gaming performance has suffered as a result.

The generally slower performance has also led to lower power consumption and longer runtimes than the original launch model. However, the target gaming enthusiasts who like to buy Alienware are probably not very excited about trading in performance for battery life. Such a move would have been more acceptable on the lower-end Dell G series instead.

We recommend considering the original Alienware x16 R1 since the x16 R2 doesn't offer any new GPU options, display options, or even chassis colors or external changes. The CPU update is only desirable for those who want to "future-proof" their workspace with the integrated NPU.

Price and Availability

Dell is now shipping the Alienware x16 R2 starting at $2100 for the Core Ultra 7, GeForce RTX 4060, standard keyboard, and 1600p240 IPS configuration or up to $3500 if configured with the Core Ultra 9, RTX 4090, and mechanical keyboard.

After graduating with a B.S. in environmental hydrodynamics from the University of California, I studied reactor physics to become licensed by the U.S. NRC to operate nuclear reactors. There's a striking level of appreciation you gain for everyday consumer electronics after working with modern nuclear reactivity systems astonishingly powered by computers from the 80s. When I'm not managing day-to-day activities and US review articles on Notebookcheck, you can catch me following the eSports scene and the latest gaming news.
