Sett från generationen till generation är Area-51m en respektabel efterföljare till Alienware 17 R5. Den behåller allt som vi gillade hos den äldre modellen (snedslipat tangentbord, robust design, lätt att underhålla) samtidigt som den uppdaterar många aspekter som vi kände behövde mer omsorg (starkare kylning, tunnare infattning, högre prestanda). Batteritiden är dålig, men är det verkligen prioriterat föreslår vi en titt på Alienware m17 istället.
Prestandan är, icke förvånande, den här datorns riktiga höjdpunkt. Bara faktum att maskinen endast hamnar några procent bakom den desktop-PC vi har som referens är imponerande. Fläktens ljudnivå när man spelar är i princip samma som hos Alienware 17 R5, vilket är bra med tanke på den massiva ökningen i prestanda, men det är också en besvikelse för alla som hoppades på en tystare maskin.
Det som gör Area-51m så speciell är också dess största brist. Det uppgraderingsbara och påstått framtidssäkra DGFF-grafikkortet, till exempel, är definitivt ett coolt koncept. Men innan det faktiskt finns en efterföljare till RTX 2080 känns det för tillfället mest som ett experiment. För det andra så ökar steget till en Core i9-9900K på över 95W förvisso definitivt CPU-prestandan jämfört med den traditionella Coffee Lake H-lösningen på 45W, men det gör ont att se kärntemperaturer på över 99 C när processorn används fullt ut.
Även om såpass höga kärntemperaturer inte i sig behöver vara osäkra så tycker vi inte det är ursäktat. Eurocom Sky X7C inrymmer en likadan Core i9 CPU men stannar ändå på 84 C när den utsätts för samma stresstest och den behöver inte strypa klockfrekvensen. Om Clevo klarar det finns det ingen anledning att Dell inte heller skulle kunna göra det.
Nästa nackdel är något vi inte förväntade oss. Kontrastförhållandet är inte lika djupt som på förra årets Alienware 17 R5 eller som på MSI GT75. Detta må vara en av de snabbaste bärbara speldatorerna som finns att tillgå, men den har inte riktigt den bästa skärmen på alla punkter.
Även om nackdelarna märks så förtar de inte faktum att Area-51m är ett stort steg upp från den åldrade Alienware 17-serien. Om Dell fortsätter på sin CPU- och DGFF-väg så hoppas vi på både tystare fläktar och svalare temperaturer till kommande revideringar.
Överdrift på bästa möjliga sätt. Det finns definitivt rum för förbättring när det kommer till kärntemperaturerna och fläktarnas ljudnivå jämfört med Eurocom Sky X7C. Men sett som en efterföljare till Alienware 17 så träffar den rätt på alla punkter den behöver för att vara en stark desktop-ersättning.
