    • A great upgrade over older Alienwares
CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9-275HX RAM Size: 32 GB Capacity: 18.0 WQXGA Style: RTX 5080
Works as expected, looks slick, and runs cool, going from a X15R2 to this is a night and day difference, the 5080 is leagues ahead of the 3070ti and having the ability to change ram and the option to have 3 ssds is so nice. The cpu in this is blazing fast as well, it's a little overpriced at 3k plus but I won't have buyers remose over this purchase. ... show more

CPU: Intel Core 7-240H RAM Size: 16 GB Capacity: 16.0 WQXGA Style: RTX 5060
So far so good. I bought this computer for my son who just started his first year of college. This computer has all the specs & features that they were required to have for his major. I hope it doesn't disappoints. Arrived on time. Graphics are bold!

    • Area-51 Alienware, Laptop of the future!!!
CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9-275HX RAM Size: 32 GB Capacity: 18.0 WQXGA Style: RTX 5080
I recently purchase this laptop, it was alway something I wanted but couldn't purchase it. Thanks to the offered package deal Amazon afford me this dream became a reality! Hats off to amazon and the online chat team that made this happen, thanks very much for meeting your customers at the point of their need. Boy this laptop didn't disappoint, I use it for work purposes and its a head turner for sure... the sheer speed of opening documents, working on multiple screens is mind blowing. Functionality is unmatched from all other laptops I have used, this laptop is running full system updates whilst working on powerpoint, word documents and have games running on the back ground. its durable engineering is amazing and the slimmer design on the 2025 Area-51 model make it easier for transporting. I recommend the Alienware 18" Backpack ... show more

    • Laptop wasn’t QUITE as listed
CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9-275HX RAM Size: 32 GB Capacity: 18.0 WQXGA Style: RTX 5080
The laptop is fine, certainly fast in booting and operation, and plays high demanding graphics games great, BUT, the listing reads “2TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen5 SSD”, and as it turns out, the SSD is a less valuable and less performative Gen4 so that part sucked. Amazon made it somewhat right with a slight refund though… In order to get a certain functionality out of the system, per Dell, I had to reset/reload from the factory image to a clean run of the operating system, reload all the drivers and such, and then upgraded “Windows 11 Home” to “Pro” by tossing Microsoft $100… All in all, it was a good value for what I paid, but I would have preferred a smoother takeoff… ... show more

Getting this laptop was a good idea, not only does it run smoothly. However, it can handle the type of games that I play. The only thing to be aware of is that it can get hot, so I do recommend getting something to elevate it from not overheating, like a laptop stand. Overall, it works well, and it has a nice weight. The screen has a good size and offers good quality if you watch videos or play a game with high resolution. I do recommend it to others. ... show more
