I've also seen reports that these new laptops will cost £4,000. Time to start saving as my M15 Alienware with 3070ti is starting to feel sluggish now it's plugged into my AW3423DW.
4090 laptop GPU is a big jump over 3080ti

It's a DLSS 3.0 advertorial, its not the first and it probably wont be the last.
The 4090 is gonna be mega but it might be too fast for a 1440p screen, it should be 4080 desktop speed in some scenarios lets see.
Apart from the the resolution, I am more concerned that the Intel CPU's are going to run too hot to feed a 4080 class GPU at full speed, without heat soak or, melting the laptop.
AMD CPU+Laptop 4080 could be the better option.

I'm looking to get one of these to replace my desktop - I just don't get as much time to sit at my desk and game any more.
I had my eyes set on one but Asus aren't making it for the UK so have to see what the other offerings will be like. I know that video was mostly DLSS 3 bits but It's certainly interesting.

More than welcome to join the Alienware R18 thread
I want/wanted a 16" model. Still holding out that a sensible Zephryus Duo will release over here but that doesn't have the full power.
Years, and years, ago I had an M14x R2. Think it was the 3GB GT555m with the 1600x900 screen. Loved it at the time but Alienwares look a bit too gamery for my taste
The guy is dancing to the rules Nvidia specified when giving him the laptop to "review"/advertise pre-launch and is extremely limited in any criticism or fair comparisons he might have wanted to do.
This is only slightly better than a presentation direct from the manufacturer. It's a third party doing a presentation under instruction from the manufacturer

OCUK don’t sell Alienware 4090 laptops: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/gaming-laptops/gaming-laptops/nvidia-rtx-4090-laptopsMore than welcome to join the Alienware R18 thread
But the R18 does look good, I wonder how it will stand up to the competition.

yeah, be interesting to see how much the ROG Strix 18" ships for ...... they even pinch 8GB of vram off you into the bargain, lovely!
Once we get proper reviews that compare Apples to Apples we should get a better understanding of the true uplift. Power limits are going to be very interesting this generation, especially with how wide the windows seem to be (down to 35w for the 70 tier GPU). I can only guess that Nvidia are leaning very heavily on DLSS 3.0, especially on lower tier models, to make up for a relative lack of RAW GPU grunt, at least compared to their higher tier brethren.
I did find it interesting though that the focus wasn't on raw performance uplift and rather the Frame Generation. I would have expected there to at least have been one example of x% uplift like for like.
Right now I am more interested in when the refreshes come out (ala 3070Ti/3080Ti with new CPU's) and especially what AMD can bring to the table CPU wise.
For now my Legion 7 with its nicely overclockable max TGP 3080 will suffice for 1440UW.

Cheapest 4080 is £2249, so be good to see how much a difference between the 4090, although need to see reviews first. Still prefer the Lenovo models as their cooling actually does seem to work properly unlike some.

The MSI 4070 Raider QHD looks good on paper, the design is similar to the Alienware products and I like the fact it has a 1080p camera. The Gigabyte and Asus models seem stuck at 720p.
I have an open mind about the 4080 and 4090 mobile parts but I think its just going to be a throttle fest.

I've gone around the houses trying to decide what I want.
Originally wanted the Asus Zephyrus Duo but the £4800 price tag and only 160w 4090 put me off....
Then I had settled on the Asus Scar 16 but then realised that the 4090 version wasn't coming to the UK with the Nebula HDR mini-led display...
Decided I could go the Razer route as the Blade 16 was the right on the money with what I wanted with regards to TGP-4090, Mini-LED display and 16"... but then one look at Razer's history of customer service has put me right off.
I think I'm going to end up with an Alienware but I really hate how gamer it looks and the screen sounds a bit lacklustre

Yeah, reading around their rep isn't good. Normally blaming the consumer.
Just hazarding a guess that the 18" model will fair better as it has an extra fan in the middle of the battery whereas the 16" has none.
Yeah I don't want to go 18". I'll go 16" and just hope the thicker chassis makes the battery issue a bit less of an issue.
What is annoying is that if I buy the laptop from OCUK, which I'm likely to do, I can't buy the additional Razer Care. You have to buy it directly through them in order to get that
It's just the only laptop that is ticking all the boxes I want. I am looking forward to getting it though
