Test: Alienware 13 R3 (sammanfattning)

Name: Alienware 13 R3
Brand: Alienware

Kompakt spelmirakel. Medan Alienware 15 R3 hade vissa temperaturproblem är vi imponerande av 13-tumsmodellen. Utöver den höga prestandan i ett litet chassi blev vi också övertygade av den lysande OLED-skärmen.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
2.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 1.2 ms rise
2.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 1.6 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 10 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM detected

240 Hz

≤ 100 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 240 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 100 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 240 Hz is relatively low, so sensitive users will likely notice flickering and experience eyestrain at the stated brightness setting and below.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8746 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

In review: Alienware 13 R3. Test model courtesy of Dell

Although the test model of the larger Alienware 15 R3 had problems with the cooling performance (fluctuating and very high CPU temperatures, unnecessary fan pulsating while idling, high noise development under load), the test sample of the more compact 13-inch system did not have any problems. Sure, the Alienware 13 R3 can also be pretty hot and loud in extreme scenarios, but the system is otherwise conveniently quiet and cool.

The chassis in particular deserves praise. As with old Alienware systems, it is very stylish, sophisticated, stable and well-built. You also get many lighting elements, which make it easy to use in the dark. Keyboard and touchpad can also meet the premium expectations for the most part. However, the QHD OLED panel (2560x1440 pixels) of the high-end SKU was the most impressive component. It does not matter if you look at the viewing angles, colors, black value, contrast or response times: Typical TN and IPS panels are beaten in all respects. However, you should know that the glossy surface with touch functionality creates a lot of reflections.

The manufacturer has included the latest and greatest hardware currently available. This starts with eye-tacking over the M.2 NVMe-SSD all the way up to the full-fledged Kaby Lake processor in combination with a high-end GPU from Nvidia's Pascal generation: The parent company Dell tries really hard to justify the retail price. Core gamers will only miss G-Sync support and a higher display refresh rate (no 120 Hz option). However, you can attach corresponding monitors via HDMI 2.0 and mini-DisplayPort. External graphics solutions are no problem thanks to Thunderbolt 3 and Alienware's Graphics Amplifier either.

Overall, the Alienware 13 R3 is not only one of the best 13-inch systems on the market, but also one of the best gaming notebooks in general. There are hardly any real problems and points of criticism, so it is by far the best device in our mobile Top 10 ranking. Even the rating of the high-quality Razer Blade is a few points lower (overall rating: 85 instead of 88%).
