Alienware 16 Area-51 review: New Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus is all power at any cost

[Redaktion]

Intel Arrow Lake-H kicks it up a notch with an even more powerful SKU this year to supersede the Core Ultra 9 275HX. However, squeezing more performance out of the same underlying architecture has its consequences.

[Pi-Qui]

When I read this review I get a sour taste in my mouth, the verdict should not be very good but good. The way Notebookcheck is judging laptops becomes stranger by the day! I start to dissgree more and more with their reviews!

[How about this]

4000 bucks (+ taxes on top still?) for 16 GB VRAM and 32 GB RAM. Do you really want to carry 7.28 pounds + the power supply 2.43 pounds? Maybe get a (Apple Refurbished) MacBook Air and get/build a desktop PC instead? This will still be cheaper and the desktop PC will be repairable, upgradable and run quieter.
