  1920 x 1080 only, 3080 is an overkill, and dell still in trouble with last gen vbios issue/false advertisement issue.

    Just to clarify this model isn't affected by that VBIOS issue. Also a 3080(mobile) which is nothing like a desktop 3080 is perfect for 1920 x 1080 @ 360Hz. IMO 1440p on a laptop seems kinda pointless if you want game at high refresh rate in modern titles.

      Probably for a 15" or less 1440p is overkill.
      But I'd say for a 17" 1440p isn't a bad option.

        The issue is less the screen but the performance. With modern AAA titles at 1440p a desktop 3080 can struggle to reach 144fps let alone the crappy mobile version. When you drop $4k on a desktop replacement class laptop you would hope you could get a few years of performant gaming out of it, 1440p wont give you that unless you're playing older games. Not sure why you need a PPI (pixels per inch) that high anyway.

  Looks like a great spec'd machine, except for the screen. At 300 nits and FHD only , I would have hoped Dell would have included a better screen on a machine that they originally sold at nearly $6k.

  Screen resolution is disappointing, not that I was going to buy this anyways

  Care… this model does not have Optimus due to the 300Hz refresh.

  • 

    FireRunner on 07/06/2021 - 10:33

    Isn't it the G-Sync display not the high refresh rate which doesn't allow for optimus?

      IIRC its the 300Hz panel because the IG cannot drive that high.

      • 

        FireRunner on 07/06/2021 - 10:58

        I know for a fact that G-Sync displays require the GPU to be directly connected to the display i.e. no iGPU available.
        Perhaps high refresh rates display also have this problem

    Any idea why LOVEKEANU doesn't work for this laptop?

  Better deal. Also the Alienware's here are disappointing. I bought my 17R4 from BHPhoto a couple years back, even with the 10%GST, still came out cheaper and better specced.

    Firstly, that's a 15" not a 17". Secondly, that's US price so USD $2,900 is AUD $3,749. Add shipping and GST and you are now looking at $4.2k for US model, which means it's harder to get warranty repairs and it won't have the right plug.

    Not a like-for-like comparison.

      he11bent on 07/06/2021 - 13:47

      Actually you're right, when I bought my 17R4 from BHPhoto, there was a massive saving to be had, even with the taxes paid here. And when I called Alienware for a minor issue I had, they didn't bother with checking where I bought it from.

      I just checked Alienware USA site, holy moly, have prices gone to astronomical levels. Their 17inch pricing is bonkers. I do not envy people wanting/needing to buy right now.

      It should be noted that the 15" version is available on the Dell AU site for cheaper than your conversion, i.e. $3709

  Wish this Lenovo deal would come back. It might be a 3070 but the rest of the specs and price blow this Alienware out of the sky.
