Alienware x17 R2

Strengths

The Alienware x17 R2 has a powerful 12th gen CPU that provides amazing performance for both work and play.

The option to choose between a 3070 or 3080ti graphics card gives users flexibility in terms of gaming performance.

The USB-C charging feature allows users to charge the laptop using a USB-C power pack, monitor, or dock, which is convenient for working on-the-go.
Dell has redesigned the 330 watt power brick to make it more compact and lighter, making it a nice addition to the laptop package.

Weaknesses

The prices of this year's Alienware laptops are incredibly expensive, with the x17 R2 starting at $3600 for an i9 with 3080ti.
If you're only interested in gaming and don't need the latest CPU, it may be worth looking into last year's model (x17 R1) for a bargain.
Dell has removed the RGB trackpad from this year's model, which is a feature that many customers loved.
The lack of QHD option on the x17 R2 is surprising, especially considering that other competitors offer it in 2022.
The prices are not just high for Alienware but also for most brands due to global supply and demand issues.
The $3600 price tag for an i9 with 3080ti may be a stretch for many budgets, making the x17 R1 a more attractive option.
Overall, while the x17 R2 has some great features, its high price and lack of QHD option make it a less appealing choice for those on a budget.
