QuoteIt's worth mentioning that the two PCIe5 M.2 2280 slots come with a heat spreader while the third PCIe4 2280 slot sits directly over one of the four fans as shown by the pictures below.

Are you able to confirm that only those two slots are PCIe5? Dell's online manual claims that all three slots support PCIe5 speeds on 5070 Ti+ units, and I've seen conflicting reports of this from various review outlets, all of which were reviewing 5080 or 5090 configs. I ask because the location directly under the fan, when paired with the optional heat spreader, would seem to be the optimal slot to install a hot-running Gen 5 drive.

The cooling system that holds this enormous power consumption of the CPU/GPU without any thermal limitations is impressive.

The gaming performance is also impressive, where it outperforms the Titan and also the Neo 16 9955hx3 in most scenarios and in most games tested.

It's a shame that the tests were not performed in Overdrive mode or even in High Performance (F6).

There would certainly be an improvement in the benchmarks and also in the FPS of some games.

Could you write an article with some tests showing the difference between the performance mode tested and the Overdrive mode?

The redesigned Alienware 18 is proof that you don't need to be the thinnest or lightest to be sexy. Its thicker profile allows for both extra performance and features not found on most other gaming laptops including CherryMX keys, multiple PCIe5 SSD slots, and an oftentimes quieter gaming experience.
