"It's like if the Alienware m16 R2 from 2024 hit the gym; this is a very beefy computer. It sports an 18-inch WQXGA resolution (2,560 x 1,600 pixels) display. Although the lack of a 4K screen may be disappointing, I didn't mind it so much because it has an incredible refresh rate of 300Hz and a response time of 3ms for super smooth gameplay."
"Below the screen is a Cherry MX mechanical keyboard. I fell in love with it the moment I began typing. The key presses are responsive, the buttons are comfortable, and they even have a clicky feel that I enjoy. I didn't think it was possible to replicate mechanical keyboards on laptops because of their size, but it seems this was possible on the Alienware 18 since it's so big."
"My review unit contained an Intel Core Ultra 9 275Hx processor, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card, and 64GB of memory. This is technically the most powerful laptop I've tested all year, so it should deliver performance matching its high-end hardware. However, according to the benchmark tests, it performed at about the same level as the MSI Raider 18 HX. Below is a benchmark table comparing the best results of the two machines."
The laptop features an 18-inch WQXGA (2,560 x 1,600) display with a 300Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time, prioritizing smooth gameplay over 4K resolution. The keyboard uses Cherry MX mechanical switches, offering responsive, comfortable, and clicky key presses unusual for a laptop of this size. Configurations include an Intel Core Ultra 9 275Hx processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 GPU, and up to 64GB memory, providing flagship performance suitable for gaming and demanding creative workloads such as video editing, music production, and 3D modeling. The audio system includes two woofers and two tweeters tuned by Dolby Atmos for enhanced sound.
