First Impressions: Alienware M16 R2

 

The Alienware M16 was introduced last year as a powerhouse gaming laptop but with its second iteration, the company is already pivoting.

Alienware M16 R2 review: portable gaming powerhouse gets a roaring update

 

The 2024 16-inch Alienware is a mega gaming laptop, but can also be a discreet high-power laptop for other tasks too

Great screen with 240Hz refresh for very smooth gaming ; Reduction in laptop size makes it easier to carry ; Excellent gaming performance

Lots of fan noise while gaming ; No USB-C charging (you need to bring the hefty charger)

This update to the Alienware M16 brings features – reduced size, improved power management – that not only make it a better gaming laptop, but a better laptop overall. The masses of power on tap, yet subtlety of the new design, bring a...

Alienware m16 R2 review: Now more mainstream

 

Alienware's trimmed-down m16 R2 impresses with quality, performance, and everyday livability.

Everyday-friendly looks ; Excellent build quality ; Comfortable keyboard and touchpad ; Solid gaming performance ; Lots of connectivity ; Aftermarket upgradeability

Display should be brighter ; No RTX 4080 option ; Budget models aren’t cheap enough

The m16 R2’s mainstream looks drop some of the originality Alienware is known for, but this laptop still has plenty of alien DNA to stand out. It’s about as well-rounded as a gaming laptop can be, and one you can use every day without regret.

Alienware m16 R2 review: a slow, fresh start

 

The Alienware m16 R2 is a complete redesign of the line, but fails to offer compelling value compared to the competition.

Smaller footprint, streamlined design Nice touches of RGB Great gaming performance Convenient ports Upgradeable

Limited configurations Lackluster screen Flimsy touchpad

“The Alienware m16 R2 attempts to target a new audience, but just misses the mark in its pricing.”

Alienware m16 R2 review: Excellent redesign thwarted by a subpar display

 

The Alienware m16 R2 is solid, but misses the mark in its quest for productivity

Excellent redesign ; Phenomenal gaming power ; High productivity performance ; Stealth Mode is great ; Satisfying keyboard

Subpar color ; Dim display ; Loud fans ; Underwhelming audio ; Battery life could be better

The Alienware m16 R2 delivers phenomenal gaming performance in a sleek redesign, but its dim, lackluster display, weak audio and mediocre battery life make its attempts at doubling as a productivity laptop underwhelming.
