[PConline stand-alone evaluation] Dell aliens will not be unfamiliar to everyone, in the game field it has always been the brand on the spire, advanced design concepts, personality lighting effects, superior performance makes it a game player In the heart of the dream of fighting equipment. In 2016, when the game broke out collectively, I finally saw the new Dell Alien 15.
Dell Alienware 15 (ALW15C-D1748) Reference Price: Loading... Image Reviews Price Quotes Overview
For high-end games, designing a mold with excellent appearance, layout, heat dissipation, etc. is more costly. Therefore, the top-end games such as aliens, future humans, and player countries have longer life spans. Xiao Bianyu After all, the alien 15 mold has not been updated for many years. Can the new alien 15 mold be used for several years?
New mold, more science fiction of the times of warships!
Domineering, this is the first impression that the new Alien 15 brings to Xiao Bian. The alien is like a Ferrari in a notebook. Each product is a symbol of high-end and high-quality. Each update can bring a big difference. Shocked, if only from the hardware configuration, high-end is easy to achieve. However, if you raise it to high quality, few notebooks can be made like aliens! Moreover, the new alien 15 mold is lighter, thinner, and brighter.
This machine is still using a silver + black combination, the top cover material is made of anodized aluminum, and retains the skin-like coating, making the top cover more durable, and also solves the fingerprint problem under the premise of ensuring the beauty. Fuselage A still maintains our familiar symmetry design. The face logo on the center line reminds players that this is a very cool and futuristic product.
The "next generation" of mold design is also one of the traditional culture of aliens. The 15-inch body with futuristic lines outlines that the alien 15 is like a Galactic warship hovering in outer space. It is also this kind of independence. Some temperaments constantly absorb more and more followers. Compared with the previous generation of aliens 15, due to the lengthening of the tail of the aircraft, the whole opportunity is more “founderâ€. Xiaobian thinks this is an improvement in design because more elements are incorporated in it and can be mainly The interfaces are concentrated in the rear of the fuselage, while providing more space for heat dissipation.
As a top game, its experience is like this
Open the top cover to the B side of the machine, this machine has retained the recommended resolution of 1920 × 1080, the screen is a matte display, the screen in the game under complex lighting conditions can be unaffected, still clearly visible Of course, the local screen brightness also has a certain increase, although Xiao Bian did not test its actual brightness, but only from the perspective of perception, one hundred percent of the brightness has been a little dazzling, so I will control the brightness in the daily game at 50 It is between -70% and the brightness is adjusted to 100% when the lighting is sufficient.
The alien 15 redesigned the hinge part, now it is very easy to open the cover with one hand, and the biting force between the screen and the fuselage is still good, in addition to the tail design, the aliens further play the lights to the "extreme" The glow belts on the left and right sides of the screen echo with the luminous strips at the bottom of the fuselage. “Wild Light†technology sensation seems to bring you into the hall of a game, and the body also provides a powerful built-in lighting software, almost Each light-emitting component regulates, forcing full!
Although the alien 15 has a relatively large palm rest area, because the palm rest area is too large, it occupies almost half of the keyboard surface, resulting in the user having about 5-8 cm of arm contact with the keyboard surface. After the arm will form a certain indentation. Of course, for a large palmrest game book, this situation is almost inevitable, users can only drop the computer desk 2-5cm, the wrist or arm and the keyboard surface angle, in order to adjust the control Comfort.
The colorful backlight keyboard has become a major feature of the alien series notebooks. The new alien 15 in this evaluation has even made the lighting effects “broadcastâ€. The function of the colorful backlit keyboard is not just good-looking, it is like the nighttime. A light lets you see the keys. Especially the house boyfriend who likes to turn off the lights to play the game, the backlit keyboard is definitely a must-have tool for late-night games.
If there is anything in the machine that can tell Tucao, Xiaobian thinks that the interface setting is a bit of a pity. Look around the camera, this machine only provides two USB3.0 interfaces, which means if If you have an external mouse and keyboard, then you do not have an extra interface to plug in the U disk. It is actually not very convenient, but it is still relatively complete in other interfaces of the machine. In addition to the two USB3.0, the machine also has A USB3.1, a lightning interface, miniDP, HDMI, RJ-45, and multi-frequency video port, multi-interface support for digital audio also meets its game requirements in pursuit of high picture quality.
New Alien 15, further playing with light effects to the extreme
The technology of aliens playing lights is notorious in the gaming world. Xiao Bian has searched the whole body and found 12 customizable “light sourcesâ€, but each light source has 19 colors. Can you choose, this is more than just cool? In order to facilitate the player's better management of these lights, the machine also has a built-in lighting control software, which can customize the individual lighting combination according to the player's preferences, which is not a lamp factory.
The lighting effects are not complicated to set up, as shown in the figure above, you can use the mouse to click the schematic area to select various colors according to your preferences. Brightening Alienware 15 offers both variants and pulse styles, while supporting custom flash speed and duration.
In addition, Xiaobian also found a transition between the power saving mode and the performance mode in this software. Although there are also such settings in the system level of Windows 10, Xiaobian thinks that the aliens will integrate these functions. In this software is more reasonable, because a lot of light effects will inevitably have a certain impact on battery life, so this can be more effective on the light and endurance adjustments.
Of course, we can also use it to monitor the real-time running status of the machine, including the CPU, graphics card, and memory load conditions, so that players can have a clearer understanding of the operation of their own computer. In actual experience, this The item function is quite practical, because if the background inadvertently launches other large programs in the game to affect the game experience, it can play a timely detection and timely monitoring.
â— PCMark 8 (Home-OpenCL) battery life test
PCMark 8 is a benchmark performance testing software for Windows system. Home testing is one of the testing modes (5 types in total). It mainly simulates the use environment of common users. The testing project covers web browsing and document processing. Pictures, video chat, light load games, etc., and include both OpenCL accelerated and traditional test modes.
In front of the small series has said, cool lighting effects are bound to have a certain impact on battery life, of course, superior performance also means higher power consumption, so the battery life test is not small for this machine The test. Through testing, the battery life of the new Dell Alien 15 is 2 hours and 32 minutes. Overall, such battery life is considered to be a modest level. Occasional emergency is fine, but if you want to leave the game for a long time, it is obviously Forced.
What is the performance of a top-level game book?
For a game book, in addition to appearance, we are most concerned about its performance, but then, the performance of the world's top gaming titles like aliens is homesight, so it will not be in the hardware configuration. Disappointingly, Xiaobian’s hands with the Dell Aliens 15 are Intel Core i7-6700HQ processor, Nvidia GTX 1070 graphics card, 16GB DDR4 memory and 256GB SSD+1TB HDD hard drive combination. , This configuration has almost reached the top, enough to meet the game's daily needs of the game, saying no basis, and now we have to measure its performance!
â— 3DMark testing
In order to better test the performance of the GTX1070, we used the Fire Strike and Fire Strike Extreme benchmarks in 3DMark. The test result screenshot is as follows:
The Fire Strike test gives a score of 12244, and Fire Strike Extreme has a score of 7286.
Thermal design power (TDP) is higher, so your system can support internal components to run at higher total power for higher performance levels. The entire ventilation system has been upgraded, and your system can maintain a low temperature even when the graphics card is subjected to extreme loads.
â— CINBENCH R15 test
CineBench is a very convincing set of CPU and graphics test systems, the latest is the R15 version. Compared to up to 16 cores in R11.5, the R15 version can support up to 256 logic cores. In addition, the new version also enhances the investigation of shaders, anti-aliasing, shadows, lights, and reflection blur, and the performance of CPUs. The test is more accurate. The test includes two items, each for the performance indicators of the processor and the graphics card.

â— limit thermal test
Appearance, the design of the new generation of alien 15 in the tail compared with the previous generation is more radical, it is not hard to imagine, this is also for the performance of a more customized performance, more radical styling on the heat can bring How to improve? Next we will conduct our game this extreme copy machine test.
We use Furmark copying machine software to test all products. Furmark will run the two large heat-generating components CPU and graphics card. After 30 minutes of operation, the temperature will reach a limit height, so that everyone can see more intuitively. For each machine's heat dissipation during operation, we also used the FLUKE infrared thermal imager to observe temperature rises at each location. (Temperature spans 28°C-50°C: Below the lower temperature limit, black will be displayed; exceeding the upper temperature limit will display white).
In the running time of the copying machine software, the temperature rapidly rose and reached a peak value after 30 minutes. The image discharged by Xiao Bian using an infrared imager can be seen on the C surface of the camera body, especially the keyboard. The right half is already very red, and even white areas with temperatures above 50°C have appeared. This shows that the fever of the new generation of GTX 1070 graphics card + Core 17-6700HQ is indeed very scary, but it is fortunately WASD IV that often comes into contact with the players. The temperature of the buttons and the palm rest did not increase, and it is believed that directing the heat to the place where the player does not often contact is an intentional move by the alien design team.
On the back, the extra large area of ​​the intake of the alien 15 played a big role. In the figure, the two blue circular areas are also where the local fans are. It can be seen that the temperature around the fan is not Will be as high as the middle of the fuselage, it can be seen that the cooling efficiency of the fan is still very good, of course, the thermal hole at the end of the fuselage contributed.
Large game testing and summary
After testing the performance of this machine, we actually run the current popular big game to see if the performance of Dell Alien 15 in the long game is still outstanding, we have chosen the most popular, but also the hardware requirements The highest single-game travel GTA 5, singularity ash, and popular online game pioneer watch the benchmark as the Dell Aliens 15 benchmark.
â— Grand Theft Auto 5
"Grand Theft Auto V" is not unfamiliar to everyone. It is an open-action action adventure game based on the crime theme published by Rockstar Games. The game background is based on the real world region. Made in Los Angeles and Southern California, the game has almost the same world view as the real world. Players can play three protagonists and switch at any moment. Each protagonist has his own unique personality and story background, as well as intertwined story.
GTA 5 is a game that is very demanding in terms of performance. If the required configuration is not achieved, the game screen will often be stuck even with the lowest quality. Xiao Bian adjusted the game image quality to the highest level and enabled all effects. Dell Alien 15 can still reach 80 frames or more when it is running. It is very rare.
â— "Singularity"
"Singularity Ashes" is a real-time strategy game created by Stardock. The game was built using the Nitrous engine of Oxide Games. The background is set in the distant future. At that time, human beings are completely ideological and people have mastered the power of God. But humans find themselves in a war. The enemy is an ideological AI called "Haalee" that attempts to overthrow the dominance of mankind in the universe.
Singularity ashes are even more demanding on performance than GTA 5, Xiaobian will have full effect, will run the game's own benchmark after the picture quality is adjusted to the maximum, and you can see that in the most abnormal test environment, the local Still can guarantee smooth game experience.
â— Watching the Pioneer
"Overwatch" (OW) is a first-person shooter game developed by Blizzard Entertainment, which was launched on May 24, 2016. Netease is the agent of mainland China. The game is based on the future of the Earth and tells about the entanglement of humans, watchful pioneers and intelligent machinery. The game has 22 heroes, each hero has its own signature weapons and skills.
Watchmaker Pioneer Xiaobian must not introduce too much, in all current popular online games, he should be regarded as a relatively stringent configuration of an online game, and the picture above is a screenshot of the 30 second frame count under the actual game, Dell The alien 15 runs the highest quality of Watch Pioneer. The minimum number of frames is 80 frames and the maximum number of frames is 117 frames.
â— Product Configuration and Running Points Data Sheet
The performance of the new generation of graphics cards is strong. This is no question. The performance can be said to be the explosion of the previous generation of graphics cards, and even has the capital that can match the performance of desktop-class graphics cards. On the processor side, the Intel Core i7-6700HQ processor is no stranger to us, and it can often be seen in many high-end gaming books, which can effectively guarantee the game experience of players.

â— Xiaobian has something to say
We have to say that the new generation of Dell Alien 15 has indeed brought us a lot of surprises. The new mold, the more aggressive appearance and the more cool lighting all make the aliens who are already very avant-garde. Become more sci-fi, at the same time, the arrival of Nvidia's new generation of "10" series of graphics cards has also made it a qualitative leap in performance, even if the full effect, the highest quality running those who have been called "game killer" game, It will also run very smoothly.
Of course, it is still a premium for the average player to keep the majority of players out of the door. This is a price premium for ordinary players, but for those who are not sensitive to price, Dell aliens It is definitely a wrong choice.
