Let's DELL

[MoneyFace =p]

can't blame him.. imagine the power adapter so big. all that added weight + the laptop. need to buy those trolley backpack

It is inevitable that power adapter ought to be so big size for such high power consuming notebook. Mind you the adapter is churning out 240W of power, or 4 times of your regular credit card sized notebook 60W adapter, all under noiseless, passive heat conduction. It ought to have massive heatsink inside to do all that. Whereas SFF desktop PSU of such power capacity usually generate turbojet fan noise from its tiny internal fan to cool them adequately.

Then again, the chunk of 240W adapter may look big in size but it is actually rather thin as per image below:

And it is definitely not as big as 4x 60W adapter placed side by side together.

And it is also rated with Efficiency V, which is already the highest energy star rating possible. Quite a big feat for such high capacity PSU, as it is usually tougher for PSU to reach higher efficiency with increasing capacity. This is same for desktop PSUs.

Here's the energy efficiency rating chart from Energy Star PDF:

Since Alienware 17 R3 cheapest cost $2,899.00

i will buy the following using $2,899.00
1) Inspiron 14 5458 with 4 Yr Ltd Hardware Warranty, InHome Service after Remote Diagnosis W/Accidental Damage(buy extended warranty to ensure 4yrs of usage without need to buy new laptop)

Price: $1,219.22
Reason to buy this: so that could bring it out for usage and not bulky ease of carry.
2) Alienware alpha with 4 Years Collect & Return Service(it dont provide accidental damage warranty)

Price: $1,494.81
Reason to buy this: use at home for gaming purpose

3) Dell UltraSharp 22 Multimedia Monitor - UZ2215H

Price: $289
Reason to buy this: Alienware alpha dont come with monitor need buy one

slightly overbudget by $100 compare to Alienware 17 R3 cheapest cost $2,899.00
like that go out can bring small laptop and at home can play gaming

For $3000, i will get Alienware 15 with the following specs. There is some money left for a 128GB or 240GB m.2 SSD to self upgrade as the OS drive.
It has enough power to satisfy most computing needs. This is still manageable weight to bring around for students. The Inspiron 14 can be a tiny bit slow with a 5400rpm hardisk and the screen is low res at 1366x768

It's really for rich man/son only

Pairing a Fury X with an Alienware laptop is kinda wasted.

Why waste? It is the only possible way to enjoy top grade desktop gaming performance directly from your laptop screen.

My precision also come with big adaptor and i love it because once plugged in, i know it can supplies enough power to prevent throttling. I have read notebook forums where some others people were angry that their laptop come with too small adaptor to power the fast quadcore mobile cpu. Some even go to extend to buy separately a bigger adaptor from their brand of laptops.

this power adapter looks really powerful, will electrocute someone anot?

 

[WhiteHunter]

Dell Alienware R2 R3 all included hor

That's quite cool, no need add additional $300 accidental damages o

Dell inspiron 15 7000 series laptop seems like not premium enough for the big warranty coverage

Dell inspiron 15 7000 even if its with Intel RealSense 3D Camera also not premium enough than Alienware 15 R3 with Alienware Graphics Amplifier.

best is to get Alienware 17 R3 with Alienware Graphics Amplifier for maximum gaming experience. bigger screen is much nicer to game with.

You try and let us know? If you don't reply we also know.

 

[WhiteHunter]

now look from the front... dont you think it looks very similar to a console...

you mean the Alienware Graphics Amplifier looks like a console such as XboxOne or PS4?? its actually much bigger than a game console.

cannot me still got many things not done and kena electrocuted v painful... and i will miss dell very badly too

need not worry as Dell products are safe and good to use unlike some china brands where it can explode.

Not sure.. Don't really care anymore...

might as well get a 24" stand-alone monitor for 200+ and plug the Alienware Graphics Amplifier to it.. even bigger screen

 

[MoneyFace =p]

you mean the Alienware Graphics Amplifier looks like a console such as XboxOne or PS4?? its actually much bigger than a game console.

From Amplifier's specification, it occupies 13.2 litres with dimensions: 17.35 cm x 40.955 cm x 18.55 cm

And here's the dimension comparison for both series of gaming consoles:

PS4 at slightly over 4 litres while Xbox One at 7+ litres.

 

[WhiteHunter]

I think for non serious gamers, can consider to get Dell Alienware 15 R2 or ALienware 17 R3 without Alienware Graphics Amplifier, IIRC the price can be cheaper by ~$700.

if non-serious gamers then Dell Inspiron 15 7000 or Dell Inspiron 24 7000 should suffice. Dell Inspiron 24 7000 has Intel RealSense 3D camera and Windows 10 Hello. Alienware 17 R3 and Alienware Graphics Amplifier is for those that want to play AAA titles at high or max settings.
