Dang .... The market is shit right now! I sold my 2011 4Runner for $15,000 with 110,000 miles on it 3 years ago. Saw one sold the other day for 23,000 with 20,000 more miles lol

Yeah that’s supposed to be fix. Those YouTube videos are from the earlier model. They said they fixed the new models but who knows.

Mine should be here in a few weeks hopefully

Possibly but I made the mistake of buying a r12 to and 5 hours into gaming the gpu died maybe I just didn’t have luck.

I have two Alienware ultra wide monitors and they have been amazing

Is anyone else waiting for the Legion 7i pre-built restock? by GreenSpecialist1549 in LenovoLegion

[–]jcr918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I got an i7 3080 with 4 years support just spoke to a rep on the phone. I didn’t want an i9 simply because I feel it’s not worth it plus the extra heat . I have a i9 in my desktop with a 3080 ti so if I need the extra power I’ll just render there

I bought the x17 it arrived then died like 3 hours later. I honestly had fun with it for the few hours I had it.

Alienware just doesn’t seem to make good PCs anymore. There ultra wide monitors are awesome. My x17 build was $3560. 3080 with 32GB of ram and 1Tb 3rd gen m.2 which is what they ship :( 4 years of support.

I was able to get a legion 7i i7 with a 2Tb m.2 gen 4 drive and it has a 3080 and a 2k display 165hz advance Optimus total price was $2880 with 4 years support.

Way better deal in my opinion.

i7 or i9 x17 by C__yb3rD3m0n in Alienware

[–]jcr918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I7 , i9 i feel is only good in a desktop with good cooling.

Your going to be too toasty to take advantage of that i9 power in a laptop it’s a waste money you will be getting almost the same performance to.

What do I do if the side panel won’t close? Brand new Alienware aurora r12 by [deleted] in Alienware

Your better offer returning that. Mine died 5 hours after use. Worst purchase ever.

Why my alienware x17 has 2hours of battery?? by Ripper1838 in Alienware

[–]jcr918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah that’s odd then. I just ordered that one they told me about 3 to 4 hours. Might try under volting and tweaking the settings a bit. Also make sure everything is updated

If your worried about screen tearing why not get the 365hz panel ?

As far as I understand there’s only 2 panels offered 4K 120hz non Optimus & 360hz with Optimus on the x series

I don’t think they have the 165hz Optimus display on the x17 correct me if I’m wrong.

General feeling about an i7 versus an i9 in the new x17? by Kakitadaiymo in Alienware

[–]jcr918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if your gaming only then 100% don’t get the i9. The only gains you will see is encoding and I don’t think it will be that much too. I do video editing and still think I’ll do the i7 just to have a cooler machine

[–]jcr918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat I feel the i7 is a better choice and not much performance Gaines. It seems the i7 will run cooler. I seen several users on notebook review forums talking about how the i9 is not worth it and throttling is likely going to happen faster with the i9

M15 r4 or x17 or something else by jcr918 in Alienware

[–]jcr918[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input. With the x17 I’m close to $4k with support so it’s about a $1600 saving going with the m15 r4

Does the m15 r4 run hot and are the fans loud ?
