*OFFICIAL* Alienware Area-51M R1 Owner's Lounge

For those of you getting ready to order and can’t get a discount, ebates is currently up to 10% cash back

 

Because manufacturers dont make those in a portable format. Dell does not manufacturer PSU's themselves and like all other manufacturers they outsource those. Dell uses Delta, but you also have Chicony and a major players that does the PSU's for a lot of brands.

 

The benefit in my opinion of two psu's is that you can take a smaller lower power one when you're traveling or going to a meeting. IMHO putting a 780W PS on the table at a meeting would be silly.

 

You would need a tuned 8950HK mobile chip or a tuned k-sku desktop chip(current generation chips in the 51m only).

 

Notebookforum has some great moderators so you shouldn't worry bout it

 

That indeed is a good one for sure. But the main disadvantage would be when you've need to show a tech demo or need to render something on the spot. It becomes a lot harder, cause the powersupply can not supply enough power. But you still would be much more portable than lugging two poweradapters with you.

 

One 330W will supply more than enough power for something like that. Just turn off any overclocked profiles. You will be at about 74% full system power. Should be able to even play most AAA games fine at near max settings at about 45-75 FPS

Not much actually needs the full power of the RTX 2080 + i9/i7K CPUs. But they let you turn on all the bells and whistles and pump out high frame rates.

 

Does anybody in the USA or Canada have a status of "Shipped" yet?

 

I ordered 1/9/2019 for shipment to Seattle, USA and so far no shipment, still have an order status of "confirmed" and an estimated delivery date of 2/20/2019. I guess I should be happy I have not been cancelled

I seem to remember Dell having a more granular status a few years back where you could see where you were in the order to delivery pipeline and see when your system was being built but I guess they scrapped that for some reason. All I see in the timeline is confirmed -> shipped -> delivered.

 

Im in the same boat as you. Apparently a bunch of the US folks like you and I are sitting at "confirmed" per folks here and on Reddit. Better than cancelled for sure lol.

 

Did you check to see what power supply part number you have?

If I was to guess the folks in the UK are getting "Shipped" status because the factory probably ships direct to them.... On the other hand US and Canada the factory ships to Dell USA, then Dell USA ships to end user...

 

Disagree mate.

You can track Your delivery on seal.synceron.com

 

I swear i see some posts keep disappearing on this thread or I am beginning to hallucinate..

 

What do you give to track on that site?

 

Post code or customer number .

 

My packing slip says I have this type of PSU:
450-AICV 180W Power Adapter and 330W Power Adapter

I thought it was "supposed" to be something else?

 

Same for me:

1 450-AICV 180W Power Adapter and 330W Power Adapter
1 450-AAMT Power Cord

 

Hmmm, looks like I have a ship date of 17FEB on my packing slip page. Wonder how long that's been there....

Order page also says "Your custom-built item is complete." It had said that a week or so ago, and then it disappeared and now its back...?

 

That's the adapter... You need the part number for the cord...it's a different part...

 

About PSU, what will the conséquence when you connect only one of the two PSU, from your point of view?

Global Performance downgrade? CPU/GPU? Or the battery will complete thé lack of power ?


Another things:
I read that it's really possible to dell will allow Optimus with gsync because an Asus or msi RTX laptop review (don't remember) said that Optimus was activitate despite of gsync

 

I received a call from the Dell modification team. They told me my order (I am US based) is still on schedule to arrive on the 20th. It is in production stages right now and is estimated to arrive on time (2/20). He mentioned that the cable issue has been sorted out and no cancellations are required. They will simply be shipping me 2 power cables as a separate order that should arrive on the same day as the laptop.

 

If using external display at 1080p it should perform very close to desktops (maybe ~5% from desktops)

1440p external should be within 3-5% of desktops.

4K UHD external should be within 1-4% of desktops.

Internal display you might see around 5-10% hit at least.

Only thing limiting AGA is the x4 lane speed. There was a very good article I think on techpowerup showing the difference of 3.0 x4 vs x8 vs x16.

 

I wonder if they ever upgrade the AGA to improve speeds if they’ll also have to update the port on the laptops

 

Glad to hear that got you sorted out. Such a simple solution. Wish my rep had that thought.

 

Another comparison against my GT75 titan, broke 29K graphics score. 51m should be at or higher than this

what's the max tdp limit for GT75 2080?

 

Not sure, believe it 150 on paper but it’s definitely pulling more than that. I’m seeing boost clocks at full load in the high 1900s and low 2000s for the core clock. Which the P775 I had could not do at all.

Check the max power consumption after benchmarks in Hwinfo64. Posts screenshots. From both Time Spy and Firestrike with Hwinfo. Thanks.

 

Couldn’t find the GPU in the sensors tab. Am I missing it somewhere?

u can check it in hwinfo under GPU power i believe. how many watts the gpu is drawing at steady state and max

you beat me to it. haha..

 

Check if needed checkmarks are added in Hwinfo settings. As well check in the layout.

Or post screenshots of whole Hwinfo so we can see what’s in there.

 

Has anybody here actually got there 51m yet? surely we must be getting close to shipping dates

 

Not yet bro.
I think we can expect them very soon .

 

Some german guys will get theirs today. Will forward any Information they share

 

I have max. 7 days left until the laptop arrives... Hard Time and checking every hour if something changed @DHL page

 

Are you receiving Area-51M next? LOL

You would have pretty much owned all three powerful 2080 laptops not counting the P870TM-R lol

 

So the RTX 2070/2080 GPUs onboard are real desktop cards or mobility variants?
I see something incredible happening in this video. Those temps are

 

Seems shady... will wait and see.

 

first pics from german user

Beautiful!

 

iam not that excited... the white on the top view pic looks ,,inhomogen,,... depends on the ambient light maybe but it looks like the pad, keyboard and palmrest have different tones of white...

thats exactly what i was worried about

 

It is not even white really. It is more of an eggshell color which i prefer to white which is what it looks like in pics on Dell's website.

 

yeah i would prefer a cold bright white... not *** -white... but lets be patient... i could be related to the ambient light.

 

The white balance in the photo is definitely on the warm side which causes it to look yellowish.

 

to warm for me. happy that i waited this time with my order ^^

 

no fingerprints is worth a lot to me, but that's just my opinion.

 

I think this same bro.
White is unique and no fingerprints.
Omg I'm looking forward to see some review and benchmarks.

 

Wow, these pics make me want to pull the trigger!!
