  • This is worth the $$
Style: ALW18-7500sLV Capacity: ALW18-7500sLV
Wow is all I can say. This laptop is absolutely perfect for gaming. The dual 770M's are fantastic and don't hesitate a bit playing any games. I would absolutely recommend it. Only thing you need to do is buy more RAM. 16GB of Crucial RAM is a must. And to the other review about slow. I'm not seeing any of that. It's plenty fast. Only thing I'm buying is another SSD for more room and to move all my games on SSD ... show more

  • Finally bought an alienware
Style: ALW18-7500sLV Capacity: ALW18-7500sLV
I put off buying a new laptop forever. Finally gave in and purchased this one. Overall this is a real powerhouse. The hard drive in this laptop is the slowest of everything in the system - rates a 5.9 Windows speed rating. It ships with about 990 GB available and for some reason they combined the 5400 RPM 1 TB drive with the 80 GB MSATA drive together to make up the C drive. Well the speed (or shall I say slowness) of the drive was very noticeable, so the first thing I did was replaced the 1 TB 5400 RPM drive with two 256 GB SATA III SSD drives I already owned - Raid0. This was a very easy swap to make and once completed this machine FLEW!! It comes with 8 GB of memory installed in the front memory slots (the ones that are hard to get to) leaving the back memory slots empty - which kudos to Dell for doing that because it means you can add 16 GB very easily without messing with the front slots. It easily ran The Sims 3, Battlefield 4 and 3, Mass Effect 3 all at the highest settings with ease. The fans are pretty darn quiet - you can barely hear them even when running the games. The front loading DVD drive came in handy when rebuilding the system after performing the hard drive slot, so I am glad it had one. I would purchase this again and I would recommend it as well. Also, it is my understanding that virtually all the hardware can be upgraded if wanted - the CPU is socketable, so you can put in a newer haswell processor if you choose, the dual SLI Nvidia 770M can also be upgrade to 780M's if you should want to - but as the system is now it is plenty powerful in my opinion for years to come. I miss the money I spent on this thing, but I am glad I have it - it easily handles all I have thrown at it. ... show more

  • A solid and impressive unit, with a couple of minor drawbacks
Style: ALW18-7500sLV Capacity: ALW18-7500sLV
Fast, Powerful and Stylish. I like this laptop a lot. While a biometric scanner would have been a nice inclusion along with a stable lighting control board those are minor gripes. I do wish it came with a larger data drive. 10GB of data space for backups in not even close to adequate. It is clear that Dell wants to give you a LOT of incentive to purchase their upgrade to the supplied backup program and use their cloud backup services (which is insanely expensive) so at the very least you will be wanting to upgrade the software to allow for scheduled backups. I personally do manual backups to a mapped network drive on my primary desktop. ... show more

The computer is a beast. Can run anything you want on it and more, the only down side to this computer is that it is heavy as hell. I wouldnt want to carry it around with me every day.

  • Great performance. Smooth gameplay/SLI graphics
Style: ALW18-7500sLV Capacity: ALW18-7500sLV
Big, bulky, and ostentatious as heck, the Alienware 18 is the ginormous gaming laptop you want to use to show off your riches on the game grid. Pros: Great performance. Smooth gameplay/SLI graphics. Cool lighting effects. Nice 1080p HD screen. Features include everything but the kitchen sink. Large capacity SSD+HDD. HDMI is an in/out port. 802.11ac WiFi. Cons: Bulky. Heavy. Short battery life. Taking the bulk aside this is a serious piece of gear, but always worth comparing to this ASUS on specs and price: http://amzn.to/1ES6UNO ... show more
