Alienware x17 R1 RTX 3080 laptop review: A new beginning

Generational refresh.

After only a year with the older Alienware m17 R2, R3, and R4 design, Dell is ready to hit the reset button with the Alienware x17 R1. Does the full-on makeover address all the issues we had with the previous generation model?

The 17.3-inch Alienware laptop series has had an avalanche of changes these past few years. Dell introduced a brand new Alienware m17 R1 chassis in 2019 only to replace it with a fully redesigned m17 R2 chassis just a year later in 2020. For 2021, the manufacturer has introduced yet another full chassis redesign to replace the m17 series altogether called the Alienware x17.

Our test unit is a higher-end configuration equipped with the Core i7-11800H CPU, GeForce RTX 3080 GPU, 120 Hz 4K UHD display, CherryMX mechanical keys, and 32 GB of RAM for approximately $3200 USD. Lesser and higher options are available with the RTX 3060 or Core i9-11980HK, respectively. Perhaps the most important feature of the new chassis is its redesigned cooling solution that includes more fans than before and a new gallium-silicone-based thermal paste over the CPU. A 15.6-inch version is also available called the Alienware x15 R1.

Competitors to the Alienware x17 R1 include other ultra-thin 17.3-inch gaming laptops like the MSI GS76, Razer Blade 17Asus ROG Zephyrus S17, and the Tongfang-based Maingear Vector Pro.

Case — Legend Reborn

The revamped "Legend" chassis design utilizes similar soft-touch plastics as on the m17 R2 but in different and generally flatter proportions to accentuate a thinner look. The white outer lid and honeycomb grilles all remain, for example, while the keyboard deck is now black and sharper around the edges. Rigidity is still excellent especially around the base with very little warping and no creaking to speak of.

The lid flexes more than the lid on the Blade 17 but not as much as on the MSI GS75. It also has some of the thickest bezels along the bottom edge for any 17.3-inch gaming laptop we've seen which are partly responsible for the extra-large footprint.

Alienware laptops aren't afraid to be big and the x17 R1 is still a big system regardless of how "thin" Dell likes to market the model. The truth is that the system is noticeably bigger and heavier than most competing models like the MSI GS76, Blade 17, or Zephyrus S17. Even the older Alienware m17 R4 is lighter than the x17 R1 by about 200 grams despite their nearly identical volumes. The added weight contributes to a stronger and stiffer base, however.

Connectivity — All Along the Back

Port options are mostly the same as on last year's Alienware m17 R4 but with a few important changes. The rarely used proprietary Graphics Amplifier port, for example, has been dropped in favor of a more handy second USB-C port. There is also one less USB-A port to work with this time around. Otherwise, all other ports have returned albeit rearranged along the rear of the chassis to be generally harder to reach and see than on most other laptops.

Note that both USB-C ports support DisplayPort and Power Delivery but only one is actually compatible with Thunderbolt 4.

SD Card Reader

Transfer rates from the integrated MicroSD reader are very fast at nearly 250 MB/s with our UHS-II test card. The slot is a bit difficult to access since it's along the rear, but it definitely beats not having one at all.

Communication

The Wi-Fi 6E-enabled Killer AX1675x module comes soldered much like how it was on the last generation m17 design. Interestingly, the WLAN module is removable on the Alienware x15 even though it's a smaller 15.6-inch form factor.

Webcam — IR, but no Shutter

Camera quality has not really improved gen-to-gen as the system only comes with a 720p sensor. A few other laptops like the Razer Blade 17 have since upgraded to 1080p. A webcam shutter is missing as well.

Accessories and Warranty

There are no extras in the box outside of the AC adapter and paperwork. The standard one-year limited warranty applies with extension options if purchased directly from Dell.

Input Devices — CherryMX to the Rescue

Keyboard

Introduced on last year's Alienware m17 R4, the ultra-low profile CherryMX mechanical keys have returned on the x17 R1 as an optional feature. We were initially hesitant about the keys since mechanical or optical switches have been mostly misses on laptops like the MSI GT80 Titan, 2019 Razer Blade 15, or Lenovo Legion Y920. These new CherryMX keys, however, are quickly becoming our favorite on any gaming laptop. Feedback is uniform, crisper, and with both deeper travel and a more satisfying click when compared to laptops like the Razer Blade 17 or MSI GS76. The per-key RGB keys work well for both word processing and gaming albeit at the cost of loud high-pitched clatter that roommates or classmates may not appreciate. In these scenarios, we recommend opting for the SKUs with traditional membrane-based switches instead.

Perhaps our biggest gripe with the keyboard is that the secondary symbols on most keys are not backlit. Thus, the keys for brightness control, Print Screen, Pause, Insert, and more are almost impossible to see if working or gaming under dim ambient lighting. All keys and symbols are lit on the Blade 17 in comparison. Note that the first row of function keys are not mechanical, either.

Yo Dell, you forgot to add backlighting for the secondary symbols!

Touchpad

The Precision clickpad is relatively small at 11.3 x 6.8 cm compared to 14 x 6.5 cm on the MSI GS75. Its surface is otherwise smooth when gliding at medium speeds with only a bit of sticking at slower speeds for more accurate clicks. Travel is very shallow and feedback is on the softer side when pressing down. Though a larger surface area would have made for easier multi-touch inputs, at least the clickpad isn't as spongy as the one on the Razer Blade series.

Dell offers an RGB backlight for the clickpad on certain SKUs which is a returning superficial option from older Alienware laptops. This feature is not available on the smaller 15.6-inch Alienware x15 R1.

Display — 4K, 120 Hz, 100% AdobeRGB, 5 ms

While the AU Optronics B173ZAN panel can be found on other laptops like the Schenker XMG Ultra 17, the one on our Alienware has a native refresh rate of 120 Hz instead of 60 Hz. Furthermore, black-white and gray-gray response times are very fast in the one-digit ranges and maximum brightness is also noticeably brighter than on most other gaming laptops. The MSI GS76 carries a similar 4K panel with even faster response times than our Alienware albeit at the cost of a narrower gamut. This makes the Alienware display one of the very few we've seen that seemingly checks all the boxes in regards to refresh rate, resolution, response times, color coverage, and brightness.

The matte overlay is slightly grainier than a glossy alternative and backlight bleeding could have been better on our specific unit. Our measurements below reflect only the 4K 120 Hz panel and not any of the other display options available for the Alienware x17 which are expected to have different attributes.

Note that Advanced Optimus is only available on FHD 360 Hz SKUs. Other SKUs like ours have Optimus 1.0 with a manual discrete GPU option in the BIOS.

No Gorilla Glass options. The FHD 360 Hz SKU is actually slightly thinner than our 4K SKU (20.9 mm vs. 21.4 mm)

* ... smaller is better

Color space encompasses all of sRGB and AdobeRGB as advertised by the manufacturer while DCI-P3 coverage is approximately 88 percent. The deep colors, fast response times, and fast refresh rate all make this 4K panel suitable for both gaming and graphics editing.

X-Rite colorimeter measurements show that the display is decently calibrated out of the box with average grayscale and color DeltaE values of just 2.4 and 4.34, respectively, when compared against the AdobeRGB standard. Setting the display to sRGB and then calibrating its colors would result in excellent DeltaE values of less than 2 across the board.

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
10.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 5.2 ms rise
↘ 5.2 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 25 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.9 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
14.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 7.6 ms rise
↘ 6.8 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 25 % 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.

Outdoor visibility is slightly better than on many other 17.3-inch gaming laptops since the 400-nit matte display is brighter than the typical 300-nit target. The heavy weight and size are difficult to ignore, however, and so you'll likely want to work on a flat desk regardless of the environment.

Performance — Impressive Processor Clock Rates

Two CPU options (Core i7-11800H, Core i9-11980HK) and three GeForce graphics options (RTX 3060, RTX 3070, RTX 3080) are available. We don't expect big differences between the two CPUs since our i7-11800H is already running well above 90 C when under load, but the three GPUs are each running at different TGP targets of 130 W, 140 W, and 165 W, respectively. In comparison, the RTX 3080 in the Razer Blade 17 targets "only" 130 W.

Our system was set to High Performance mode via the Alienware Command Center software prior to running our benchmarks below for the highest possible scores. We recommend users become familiar with this software as all lighting and performance features are found here. Additionally, users can set the system to Optimus or discrete GPU mode via the BIOS.

Advanced Optimus and thus G-Sync are only supported on the 360 Hz FHD SKUs.

 

Processor

CPU performance is outstanding with CineBench xT scores that are up to 20 percent faster than the average laptop in our database with the same Core i7-11800H CPU. In fact, the Alienware x17 is one of the fastest laptops you can get in the market with this specific processor. The faster-than-expected performance of our system actually puts it slightly ahead of the Ryzen 9 5900HX or Core i9-11900K in multi-threaded loads even though the i7-11800H is generally behind on most other laptops.

The high CPU performance of the Alienware can be attributed to the very high PL1 and PL2 targets of 165 W each (with a real-world sustainability of 98 W to 108 W) compared to 65 W and 90 W, respectively, on other laptops like the Razer Blade 17. The system is also excellent at maintaining high Turbo Boost clock rates over extended periods as shown by our CineBench R15 xT loop test below. Such lofty performance results don't come free, however, as our Stress Test and Power Consumption sections below will show.

Storage Devices — One PCIe4 and one PCIe3

Our test unit comes with two 1 TB WD SN730 NVMe SSDs in RAID 0 for sequential read and write rates of up to 6700 MB/s and 4300 MB/s, respectively, to be faster than any single PCIe3 SSD available. Nonetheless, a single Samsung PM9A1 PCIe4 SSD will still outperform our PCIe3 RAID 0 setup. Dell says the system can support up to one PCIe4 SSD if users want to install one themselves.

GPU Performance — Just a Bit Higher than Average

Despite the 165 W RTX 3080 graphics, raw performance is only 2 to 9 percent faster than the average RTX 3080 laptop in our database likely due to diminishing returns at higher TGP targets. The minor advantage can also be seen when running games as frame rates are again only a few percentage points higher on average. However, the performance difference becomes more pronounced when compared to the 90 W RTX 3080 in the MSI GS76 where our Alienware can be roughly 15 to 30 percent faster in certain titles. A desktop PC with RTX 3080 graphics will still outperform any RTX 3080 laptop by about 40 to 45 percent.

Idling on Witcher 3 for over an hour shows stable frame rates with no random drops to suggest no interrupting background activity when gaming in contrast to what we observed on some older Alienware m15 models.
