    • Sleek looking and beautiful 1440p screen!
Sturdy laptop, with beautiful 1440p display. Very fast and perfect mid range gaming laptop. However, I was super disappointed to find out that there was something wrong, with the Motherboard; after running some hardware tests. Not to mention I thought I had ordered the model with the 3070 instead of the 3060. Nothing wrong with the 3060 for most, but I wanted something that would be A bit more future proof. The other major downside, is that Amazon shipped my laptop in it's Alienware box, with a much bigger box that it was inside of. The problem there was that there was no foam or bubble wrap inside the box to keep the laptop from bouncing around in the bigger box. When you spend 1700.00 on a laptop you want it to be packaged as safely as possible, as to not allow any damage to the laptop or it's internal parts. (The box was damaged and the damage went through the outer packaging; all the way to the Alienware box). There wasn't even anything on the outer packaging saying that it was a fragile package. I contacted Amazon to let them know that there was damage to the packaging and the Alienware box inside. I explained that I was very unhappy that the package wasn't better protected with some bubble wrap or peanuts, or something. Their reply was that "they had saved millions of dollars, by not using bubble wrap and that it was better for the environment". Why would you say that to a customer, who was upset that their package was damaged; after spending my hard earned money for something I could barely afford to begin with. I don't care how much money a billion dollar industry has saved, by not properly securing customers expensive items. Basically, despite the laptop being awesome. Somehow, the motherboard was not functioning properly and whether or not that was due to the fact that it wasn't packaged properly. I definitely won't be ordering anything from Amazon that is so delicate ever again. Thankfully, I was able to return it and get a full refund. ... show more

    • Great laptop - No thermal issues
I have several gaming systems and this is my second Alienware laptop. The thermals are good on this machine. It does get loud just like any other gaming system and is actually quieter and tamer than my MSI Stealth. Be careful when buying/upgrading the RAM. The new bios update does not like 1.35volt ram that you would get with Corsair Vengence etc. XMP profile didn't help and actually wouldn't boot when enabled. Dell support was not familiar with the new bios update and was no help and wouldn't assist since the RAM wasn't purchased from Dell. It will downgrade from 3200mhz to 2666. If you want native 3200mhz, get 1.20 volt ram modules. I have the basic Crucial 3200 and they are no issue. There is an extra NVMe slot. I installed a 2TB module with no issues. (idk why some specs say 1TB supported). I have mine connected to a 34" 4k MSI monitor. ... show more
