Test: Alienware m17 (i9-8950HK, RTX 2080 Max-Q, 4K UHD) Laptop (Sammanfattning)

Alienware 17 lite.

23 procent tunnare, 37 procent mindre och 40 procent lättare. Alienware m17 åtgärdar alla klagomål på storlek och vikt som fanns på den ursprungliga Alienware 17-serien även om det kommer på bekostnad av en del extrafunktioner som bakgrundsbelyst styrplatta, tangentspecifik RGB-belysning och extra portar.

Display Response Times

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
28 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 16 ms rise
↘ 12 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 68 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (20.9 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
35.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 19.6 ms rise
↘ 16 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 46 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (32.8 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

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 not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8706 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Dell delar på ett smart sätt upp sin Alienware 17-serie i två väldigt olika versioner: Alienware m17 och Alienware Area-51m. Även om den tunnare m17 saknar en del funktioner jämfört med den ursprungliga 17-serien så har den större och fullmatade Area-51m tagit över på den punkten. Den en gång så klumpiga Alienware-serien på 17 tum kan nu tilltala gamers som föredrar smidigare och tunnare laptops såväl som gamers som vill ha så mycket kraft som möjligt i laptop-format.

Eftersom m17 i princip är en "Alienware 17 lite" så kommer dock fans av originalserien sörja faktum att den offrar en handful klassiska Alienware-funktioner till förmån för att kunna vara tunnare och lättare. Den lyckas ändå inte bli i närheten så tunn eller lätt som de senaste modellerna från MSIAsus eller Acer, så m17 är mer av ett mellanting mellan ultratunn och tjock och tung. Å andra sidan gör det extra omfånget m17:s chassi svårare att böja jämfört med många av de supertunna alternativen, särskilt när det gäller locket.

Våra största klagomål rör kärntemperaturerna, fläktljudet och tangentbordet. Att den når kärntemperaturer på 98 C när man spelar trots att fläktarna snurrar som ljudligast kan för många bli svårt att svälja. Samtidigt hade den mjuka tangentåterkopplingen känts mer lämplig på en tunn Ultrabook snarare än på en spellaptop för entusiaster som m17. SteelSeries-tangentbordet som finns på bärbara datorer från MSI och Clevo har fastare tangentåterkoppling, vilket ger en tightare spelupplevelse. Det snedslipade tangentbordet som finns på både Area-51m och äldre modeller av Alienware 17 känns också bättre när man spelar.

Alienware m17 gör stora besparingar när det gäller vikt och storlek jämfört med Alienware 17. Nackdelarna märks dock och inkluderar avsaknaden av många hårdvarufunktioner och ett byte till Max-Q grafikkort. Som tur är kan den som önskar en mer klassisk Alienware-upplevelse välja Area-51m medans de som inte prövat det här märket innan kommer att uppskatta m17 för att den har en stark chassidesign jämfört med andra ultratunna alternativ.
