    • Runs well, no complaints
Capacity: Alienware Gaming Laptop
This computer is a great bargain for any gamer, ive used it to play shadow of tomb raider, american truck simulator, disco elysium and ive had no issues. Im not a pc tech so i cant break down the specifics for you but if your looking for a gaming laptop at a reasonable price then this is it. Yes the fan is a bit loud at times but its not at ps4 levels of loud, and i personally have had no issues with the touchpad getting hot. I love it. ... show more

    • Bro imma keep it real, this RTX 2060 is so good
Capacity: Alienware Gaming Laptop
I can max out (so far) Dying Light, L4D2, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Fallout 4... Bro fr I'm not gonna be like "Oh blah blah blah battery life this, I don't like that" na, this is legitimately a solid machine that will keep up with what's thrown at it. The RTX 2060 is surely something you want to be a part of. I've been living on low graphics since 2013, settling for the 15-25 FPS and people usually talk trash about Alienware brand for whatever reasons. Also, people are rambling about heat comfort and build quality; na, they're are assiduously looking for "cons" so their "review" looks more credible like lol wtf ? The only problem I have with this laptop is that I can't stop downloading all the Steam games I was never able to max out or EVEN play. I'm coming from a Macbook Pro 2016 and the performance difference is night and day. Make sure you go to the Alienware Command Center thing/app and turn on "Performance Mode", while plugged into a power source if you want the (90%) of what the laptop can do. Thanks for reading, peace out and have fun ... show more

    • Glad I ponied up for it.
Capacity: Alienware Gaming Laptop
I've had this laptop for two months now and I can honestly say that it's worth the money. There are, however, a few things to note that will need to be addressed if you want to use it for very much serious work. Firstly, this laptop comes with an M.2 harddrive, which is very good, but it's only 512mb. An additional harddrive is almost necessary and, although it does come with a second slot, I opted for an external 4TB SSD. That basically solves storage issues for a good while. Secondly, This only comes with a single 8GB RAM card but does have a second slot. I haven't added another card yet but I have seen instances where it would improve performance. This laptop is currently my workhorse and downtime toy. I've seen very few hiccups using it for music production, recording, live sound and gaming. Once you address the underwhelming storage issue you can work pretty well with it but a RAM upgrade should be in your future as well. Games these days not only have 80+GB download files but pull considerable amounts of RAM, as do DAWs. Overall, this is a fantastic little beast for the money and with just a few minor upgrades it can do everything short of engineering 3D models. I'm certainly glad that I bought this for my work and play! ... show more

    • Terrible battery, overheats, bad OEM support
Capacity: Alienware Gaming Laptop
Update 2: after a little over a year of use, the laptop is out of warranty, overheats to the point of crashing after 15+ minutes of VR gaming, and has a battery life of less than an hour of web browsing. I really wanted to like this laptop, but for the money, you can do so much better. UPDATE: The battery drain issue has gotten significantly worse over the last two weeks. Playing a five year old game is enough to drain the battery from 100% down to 20% in the course of a couple hours. I contacted Amazon who offered to let me return the laptop (I chose not to). I contacted Alienware support who said that the battery draining is a "feature" called Hybrid Power. The battery drain stops at 20% when the computer severely underclocks itself to prevent the battery from draining any farther. If you call Dell to complain about the issue, they will acknowledge the 'feature,' but their only solution is for you to spend $150 on their upgraded power adapter. I found the same adapter on amazon for 1/3 the price, so I'm hoping that puts an end to the issue. Changing my review from 4 stars to 2 stars just based on Dell's support, and because if you add the $150 to the price of this laptop just to get a laptop that can play and charge at the same time, you could really get a better laptop for the same money. As a smaller thing to put on a desk to replace a large desktop, this thing is great. It handles VR excellently, and plays all the games I throw at it with solid frame rates. However, there are some glaring oversights that make it feel like a budget laptop instead of an Alienware. For one, the powersupply isn't enough to keep up with the power draw of the laptop when you're gaming. You'll play for an hour or two and then notice that your battery is down to around 85%. I don't play for long enough stretches for that to kill it, but combine that with a battery that only lasts about 40 minutes off the charger, and you could easily end up in a situation where you have to stop playing after an hour because you did 30 minutes on battery, had to plug it in, and it didn't charge because you were still gaming. Coming from a gaming focused company like Alienware, that is basically inexcusable. Also, the thing gets ridiculously hot. Even on top of a laptop cooling base with three fans, I could probably cook an egg on the wrist rest after an hour. Still, for my needs, the M15 works well. It's a gorgeous laptop that plays games, so I'll likely keep it. ... show more

    • Great machine if you're willing to put in the work
Capacity: Alienware Gaming Laptop
I got lucky and caught this baby on sale for about $1500. It's a great machine but run insanely hot. A quick repaste on the CPU and GPU with Kryonaut and an undervolt, now i barely hit 78C on the CPU and 65C on GPU.
