Pros and Cons

Alienware x14 R2

Strengths

The laptop provides great performance for heavy tasks such as 3D modeling, Photoshop, and 4K export.
It has a fast processor, with a score of 7,236 in Photoshop, which is impressive considering it only has 16GB of RAM.
The laptop can handle 4K export times of just 2 minutes and 11 seconds, making it one of the best results I've seen on my channel this year.
It has a great performance benchmark section, with scores of 208 for Autodesk 3ds Max, 203 PTC Creo, 301 for Autodesk Maya, and a 102 for solid works.
The laptop is very well optimized, making it a great contender if you're considering a Photoshop laptop, especially someone who wants something thin and on-the-go friendly.
It's available at an affordable price point of around $1,200 - $1,249.

Weaknesses

The battery life is not great, with only 6 hours and 35 minutes of streaming video playback, which is less than I had hoped for.
The laptop has historically known to be not the most power-efficient processors, making it less suitable if you're looking for better battery life.
There's a bit of screen wobble, which might be an issue for some users.
It can struggle with 6K export times, taking around 22 minutes and 18 seconds.
The laptop is not the most power-efficient processor, making it less suitable if you're looking for better battery life.

Samsung Galaxy Book4

Strengths

The keyboard is okay, I could get used to it in an hour or so
It got over 11 hours of battery life in our endurance test which is incredible especially given this has an OLED display
The speakers are fine, mids seem pretty decent
The webcam is good, looks nice and clear and crisp
We have a fingerprint reader up here on the right hand side which is on top of the power button best spot to have it
It's got a vapor chamber which is how we were able to extract those 80 Watts out of the 40/50 processor
The battery life is incredible
The RTX 4050 is a powerful GPU, great for gaming and content creation

Weaknesses

The price is $2400 with 16 GB of RAM 1 TB SSD and RTX 4050 which is outrageous and doesn't match the value
It's got like a couple medium compromises like the keyboard's okay trackpads kind of weird
The Wi-Fi card is soldered down so if you want Wi-Fi 7 I don't know just don't buy this laptop
The price makes no sense compared to other laptops with similar specs and features
You could get a Zephyris G16 for $22,000 that has the same amount of RAM and storage but an RTX 470
It's available with up to a 470 and that config is $3,000 which is still overpriced
The price of this laptop is a sin, it's got like a couple medium compromises
It doesn't have facial recognition despite its high price tag
