Title: Alienware m17 R5 im Laptop-Test: All-AMD-Gamer mit großem Potential, aber Treiberproblemen
Post by: Redaktion on January 16, 2023, 08:58:24
Im neuen m17 R5 setzt Dell voll auf AMD, sowohl beim Prozessor (Ryzen 9 6900HX) als auch der Grafikkarte (Radeon RX 6850M XT). Wir schauen, ob die Komponenten gut im 17-Zoll-Gamer zusammenspielen und ob die AMD-Kombo ihren Intel/Nvidia-Konkurrenten Paroli bieten kann.

Naja, Dell / Alienware kann nur eines richtig gut und das ist Bloatware vorinstallieren.
Die Treiber von denen funktionieren selten auf Anhieb.

QuoteHier fangen aber auch schon die (Treiber) Probleme an, denn selbst im Schlafmodus touren die Lüfter plötzlich ohne Grund für 1 - 3 Sekunden hoch.
This is not sleep mode. And the owner-tracking mode, deliberately designed in this way. The author - please do not mislead people. There is only one sleep mode S3 (STR - Suspend to RAM), everything else is a props designed to hide the tracking mode. M$ has intentionally removed apparently available S3 since the 20H1 W10+ release as part of its 24x365 client snooping policy. Moreover, as it has been known for a long time, AMD has problems with enabling the old, kind and reliable S3 through a registry patch - unlike versions on Intel.

QuoteWährend viele Konkurrenten immerhin eine Full-HD-Webcam einbauen, müssen Nutzer des m17 weiterhin mit einer 720p-Kamera auskommen.
On this site, there is a review of the HP G9 835 - there is a 1440p camera. It is a shame to sell laptops without a 1440p@60Hz camera with autofocus in 2022, especially in the top series.

QuoteTrotz 17-Zoll-Größe flog das Numpad über Bord
Thus, this series is sentenced as a universal laptop for both work and entertainment. Sales are sure to plummet.

QuoteVon den beworbenen 3 ms Reaktionszeit sind unsere Messwerte etwas entfernt, wir messen zwischen 11,6 und 16,4 ms.
Another fake screen with a monstrous response time. It never "120Hz" - a maximum of 75Hz.
The contrast is absolutely shameful for a top screen less than 900:1. AdobeRGB coverage is insufficient.
And worst of all, it's not 16:10, which is more versatile.

And the worst thing, as we see from the review, the author could not even calibrate it to a sane level with dE less than 2. Such a screen immediately under the bulldozer - the whole batch. You can't give more than 70 points for such rubbish!

Why NB authors do not measure viewing angles with a sensor? P degree of drop in brightness and contrast? You can't trust a word. We need digital comparisons of real viewing angles.

It is also impossible to use this laptop with the lid closed at full power as a system unit - the screen will burn 100% from overheating.

PS,
The speed of ram, as usual with AMD versions, is shameful. In general, the laptop is too noisy despite the AMD platform, i.e. no sense - no silence in surfing (as was the case with the Dell G5 5587), no Intel speed.

The question arises by itself - for which target group is this piece made?
