The one on the right is a Tobii IR tracker combination. Just make sure you have that when you buy your Alienware. My AW13R3 has it.

Both have tobii IR eye tracker..
Just weird how come the web cams are different?

Tried google but no results.

the pic on the left doesn't have a IR tracker. If the spec sheet says it does, mean the site posted a pic without it, simple as that.

Here's a link of the review that has exact same specs like the one on the left.. and has tobii..

Hmm is it? I tried searching for AW 15 R3 GTX 1060 they are having thermal issues as well? Anybody having the exact model can confirm?? Since there are no improvement on the heat management from R3 to R4

Ummm, correct me if I’m wrong but when did 15 r3 progressed to r4?!

It's the heatsink design refer to page 96 of service manual.
http://topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/alienware-1...anual_en-us.pdf

The gist is the 3 screw design doesn't hold down the heat sink properly for good contact.
Also the thermal pad is crap, it's typical crap nearly all big notebook manufacturers apply.
Let's findout together if the Dell revisions to the R4 helps.
What I heard is for R4 Dell applied different thermal paste and revised heat sink (although it still uses 3 screws)

Ordered Alienware 15 configured with i7 8750H + GTX 1060 + 2 years warranty + Windows 10 Pro for RM6,017.30

It's this base unit w5195006myw10mlk

i7-8750H
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit English
2Yr Ltd Hardware Warranty, InHome Service after Remote Diagnosis

Bought from Dell
TQ!

Might be a good time to get thermal grizzly kryonaut since it's going to be re-pasted. I'd ask the technician to help apply brows.gif

Good to know SSD screws are present.
My DELL XPS desktops didn't include screws for SSD, scavenged dodgy screw from my toolbox  doh.gif
