A hawk screeched in the background as I slowly rose to my feet and crept closer.

Making my way toward an enemy base in MSG V, I could hear my body scraping across the barren rock as I crawled toward an unsuspecting guard.

Out of the three available software settings (Music, Movie and Gaming) I found that Music was indeed the best option for listening to songs no matter the genre. Paired with Creative's Sound Blaster X-Fi MB3 software, the side-firing speakers filled my medium-size testing area with clear, buoyant audio.ĭrake's pleading monotone sailed across a bed made from light synth and gentle bongos with just a dash of brushed cymbal. How Alienware managed to squeeze a pair of high-quality, Klipsch speakers into the Alienware 13 R2's tiny frame is beyond me. It's not as bright as the Blade's 337 nits, but it's enough to outshine the Plus v3's dismal 203 nits. The Alienware 13 R2's future is bright, at least according to our brightness test, where it averaged 317 nits, topping the 254 nits average. Still, it was much better than the X3 Plus v3, which notched 10.7, but no match for the Blade's 1.2. On the color accuracy test, the Alienware 13 R2 hit 3 on the Delta-E scale (0 is perfect), which is better than the 5.8 average, but not as close to perfect 0 as I'd like. It's slightly better than the Plus v3's 106.3 percent and the Blade's 102 percent. It's slightly above the minimum 100 percent and the 79 percent ultraportable average. The Alienware 13 R2 hit 106.4 percent on the sRGB gamut test (measures color reproduction), which corroborated my initial findings. When I used my binoculars, the details were so sharp that I could see the heat waves rising off the scorched horizon before me. Vegetables brave enough to grow in the unforgiving heat showed their rebellion in dark green petals and hardy purple plants. The sepia-toned earth was a perfect foil for the clear blue sky and hazy white sun above. Who knew a desert could be beautiful? At least it is in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's interpretation.
