Pros and Cons

Alienware m15 R6

Strengths

The screen had decent brightness, color gamut and advanced Optimus with MUX switch.
I was impressed that it wasn’t getting as hot on the internals compared to other Dell/Alienware models, I didn’t even have to adjust the TCC offset which could be used to control temperatures at the expense of performance.
The keyboard and touchpad were decent, though I can’t see myself paying $150 USD more for the upgrade to Cherry keys.
Gaming on an external screen with HDMI plus Optimus off was slower than Optimus on for some reason, hopefully that’s just some sort of buy that can be fixed.
DisplayPort output over Type-C wasn’t working in my unit, hopefully that’s just mine.
The keyboard and touchpad were decent, though I can’t see myself paying $150 USD more for the upgrade to Cherry keys.

Samsung Galaxy Book Flex

Strengths

Overall a really sleek designed laptop, I really like the blue coloring they went with.
The screen uses samsung's qled technology which you may have already seen in some of their tvs out there and honestly this display looks really nice for a 1080p display.
The s pen is built into the specific laptop for some useful features, I really do like the screen write one where it'll take a screenshot and you can automatically start just writing on whatever the screen is.
Battery life has been really good, when you compare it to other devices with similar specs I've been getting around 12 hours of very light usage.
The keyboard's been great, it's very comfortable to type on, has a decent amount of travel and they're chiclet keys and they're backlit as well.
It has wi-fi 6 built into the galaxy box flex which is great really does future-proof it in terms of wi-fi connectivity going forward.
