For the starting version. Each part is measured the same way for every laptop (processor and graphics from benchmark results) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • RTX 5070 Ti option is much quicker and more efficient
  • Rare matte OLED with HDR and G-Sync
  • Upgradable RAM and two SSD slots
  • A bit cooler while gaming and longer on battery than 2025
  • Anti-reflective OLED screen
  • Strong work and gaming speed
  • Plenty of ports

Cons

  • OLED is dimmer than the IPS screen in normal use
  • New CPU only marginally faster
  • CPU tops 95 C under load
  • Still heavy for a 16-inch
  • Very expensive for what it offers
  • Weak speakers
  • CPU hits 105 C in long gaming sessions
  • NotebookcheckMay 2026

    Tested 2026 US unit, Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus + RTX 5070 Ti, 32 GB, matte OLED (about $3,000): a 'more for more money' refresh whose real gains are the RTX 5070 Ti and OLED options; the new CPU barely matters for games.

  • DigitAug 2026

    Indian review of the Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus + RTX 5070, 32 GB, OLED version (Rs 3,27,390): fast and good-looking with a glare-free OLED, but the price, heat, weight and short battery under games make it a desk machine for those with the budget.

  • BGRAug 2026

    Tested 2026 Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus + RTX 5070 Ti, 32 GB, OLED ($3,379.99): a strong pick for buyers who game first and want a fairly compact high-end machine, though rivals cost far less for similar parts.

  • NotebookcheckAug 2025

    Tested 2025 US unit, Core Ultra 9 275HX + RTX 5070 (115 W), 32 GB, 240 Hz IPS (about $1,600): a balanced work-and-play machine whose screen and CPU impress more than its 8 GB GPU.

  • TechRadarJan 2026

    Tested 2025 Core Ultra 9 275HX + RTX 5070, 32 GB/1 TB ($1,999.99): Alienware's most portable gaming laptop, quick at 1440p with a good screen, let down by battery and sound.

Other
CoolingFans stay calm in light use; CPU runs past 95 C under heavy load (about 100 C in Notebookcheck's stress test, 105 C after an hour of gaming in Digit's test) while games keep CPU/GPU in the low 80s C; the Overdrive fan mode is louder for little extra speed (Notebookcheck)
