Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'Memory on Package' configuration, and how does it affect performance?
This laptop's 32GB of LPDDR5X-8533MT/s RAM is soldered directly onto the processor package as 'Memory on Package' (MOP). This design reduces latency and power consumption compared to traditional socketed memory, enabling faster data transfer for multitasking and AI workloads, but it is not user-upgradeable after purchase.
Can I connect this laptop to two 4K external monitors simultaneously?
Yes. You can connect one 4K monitor at up to 60Hz via the HDMI 2.1 port. The two Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 ports support DisplayPort 2.1, allowing you to connect a second 4K (or higher resolution) display through a compatible dock or USB-C to DisplayPort cable for a multi-monitor setup.
What specific features does the 8MP IR camera provide?
The 8MP IR camera supports Windows Hello facial login via its infrared sensor. It also includes Computer Vision capabilities for features like user presence detection (wake-on-approach, lock-on-leave) and an automatic privacy shutter for physical security.
How does the display's VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) feature work?
The 14-inch OLED touchscreen has a VRR range of 30-120Hz. This means the display's refresh rate dynamically adjusts to match the frame rate of the content, whether you're scrolling documents (lower Hz) or watching video (higher Hz). This reduces screen tearing and stutter without needing a dedicated graphics card, while also conserving battery life.
What does the 'Always On' USB-A port do?
One of the two USB-A (5Gbps) ports is designated 'Always On'. This means it can provide power to connected devices, like a phone or wireless mouse dongle, even when the laptop is in sleep mode or powered off, allowing for convenient charging or peripheral use without turning the system on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good So Far!

I heard mixed reviews on this. I took a chance and it's only been 2 weeks, but so far so good. The Alienware software takes about 10 to 20 seconds to load when first opening it. after that 5-10. The back end got flack for being too big. But Who is really carrying around a 16 inch gaming laptop. Keys feel great. RGB is good. Keys are clear and not blinding like most RGB backlits. Design is good imo. feels premium. Cam is decent. Touch pad is smooth. Display is nice, all text is clear and colors are good. I heard many people complaining about the brightness levels. But in a dark room I actually turn the brightness down. And in my home with normal outdoor light coming in, I have no issues with the brightness. 2 usb 2 usb c, this is the only downside. in my opinion. I wish there was one more. I do like there are no cables coming from the sides. All ports in back. Cleaner desk look. will update if I have any issues.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy this laptop!!!

This laptop is a GIANT waste of money. It didn't last for 2 weeks before the system stopped charging itself and shut down. I had to return it without being able to remove my data. I am VERY disappointed with this product and purchase.
