  • You may need to update the drivers and software before this thing performs...
This is an amazing laptop but it did not come perfect out of the box. If you don't have somewhat of a PC technical background this will be troublesome for you. First, Nvidia's Graphics Driver needs to be uninstalled and the latest version needs to be applied. The one that's included is straight buggy and unresponsive. Also, two days into gaming the laptop completely lost track of the 970m GPU and it was running off of Intel's Integrated Graphics. It simply would not recognize or find the chipset until the BIOS was updated. Also, I received the BAD_POOL_HEADER blue screen after the system resumed from sleep every single time. This was a direct result of Dell Support Assist that's pre-installed on your system. Uninstalling then updating the Dell Foundation Services, Dell Digital Delivery, and grabbing the latest Version of Dell Support Assist will resolve the issue. Just removing Dell Support Assist will fix the issue as well. This can all be found on Dell's website. After all of the drivers and software were updated, this system performs flawlessly! I can run anything in High Settings with a lovely FPS to boot. The fans are also very efficient in keeping this thing cool. The option for using an external Graphics Amplifier is the true selling point. You can purchase the Alienware Graphics Amplifier and run the latest Graphics Card that's on the market! Laptop Gamers are no longer held back from GPU upgrades. The lighting is especially awesome, basically if it lights up you can change the color of it. The software that controls the lighting is also very impressive. With a little work out of the box, this system will game for you no problem. The build quality is exceptional, it's a solid rig that performs well. Update - 12/21/2016 - 4 months later and the system is still performing without any issues. It is used practically every day for gaming purposes. ... show more

  • So far, so good. Impressive device
Overall, impressive laptop. There were a few minor snags right out of the box which took several hours to resolve (super annoying)- apparently there is a KNOWN problem with the Killer wireless adapter and Windows 10 which = no wifi until fixed. It appears the most recent driver on Dell's site fixes the problem but you have to uninstall, reinstall, etc. the out of the box driver.There are also several other pretty important updates that don't load automatically when connected so you have to go in and do them manually either from Dell's site or the device manager (ie an 11/2015 BIOS update, audio drivers, etc.). I get having to do updates out of the box but this seemed much more intensive and time consuming than the several other laptops I've purchased (and built, and rebuilt) in the past. It seems to be Windows 10 growing pains from what I can tell BUT once all that was taken care of, it's been running flawlessly. I want to give the laptop 4.5 stars, so I opted to give it 5. Windows 10 is the love child of 7 and 8. I'm still getting used to it but it's not too bad other than the SNAFU with the networking/wifi out of the box. The sound is incredible for a laptop- normally I couldn't care less about this but i was immediately impressed.I'm glad I went with the FHD display instead of UHD, based on some research. Basically, the FHD is a nice, non-glare matte screen with more true to print colors whereas the UHD is glossy, ultra saturated for movies/media but images looks completely different if/when printed than they do on screen. The keyboard is solid and non-cramped. And, I freaking love the the customization options with the backlighting and you can easily turn it off with a key stroke. The touch pad is responsive and easy to move or do gestures on (and yes, you can also have this light up too). While I was installing the bazillion updates and rebooting several times, it did seem a little slow for an SSD. However, from a powered off state it takes seconds until you hit the login screen. I believe you can adjust to a quick boot in BIOS but I haven't checked yet to see if that solves the lag on the reboots. Battery life is also impressive for the size and power of the device. I had 5 or so hours on battery and still had about 20-25% remaining while doing all the installs, updates, etc. I'm not a gamer but use some heavy programs simultaneously. Even with the downloading, updating, several processes, browser tabs, etc. open this beast didn't slow down one bit. It's quiet and the cooling seems to be top notch. I may see if a cooling pad I have helps even more but so far I haven't needed it at all. My only minor gripe is that a 15+" laptop really should have it's own CD/DVD drive but that didn't seem to be an option on any of the AWs. I was torn between a 13" and 15" AW but getting the specs I wanted either wasn't possible in the 13" or made it so much more expensive, I may as well go with the 15". Overall, I'm glad I went with the 15- there's a heck of a lot of screen real estate considering the couple inch difference. Initially I had been looking at the Microsoft SurfaceBook but once I stopped laughing at the insane price (~$3k for similar specs to this AW), I started researching the various Alienwares, MSI, HP ZBooks, etc. Yes, you can get similar specs but I found I had to compromise in one area significantly to get another spec I wanted- especially on the processor or RAM, neither of which were something I was willing to compromise on. Compared to several other high end laptops like this one that I had been researching, this one seems to provide more value for the $$$ unless you have no issue paying $2-3k for a laptop. Will definitely update if anything changes but this thing is freaking phenomenally fast. Love it. ... show more

  • Great laptop but Bad screen on delivery. Needs replacement.
When the system is working correctly its great. However the unit I got has had a few issues. Lighting controls not responding and a major problem with the screen. After about an hour of use the screen looks like it has a burned in image like and old plasma tv. I recovered back the factory setting and checked windows and video drivers for updates but that didn't do the trick. I called DELL and they had me run diagnostics that showed that there is no problem. The double exposure still shows up even in bios after a reboot. This also causes the screen the flicker very fast. Finally I hooked it up to an external monitor. The external monitor looked just fine while the laptop was still displaying the ghosting image. Oddly this seems to go away after a few hours but keeps coming back. I will be returning this product for a new one since it is a good laptop. Also they really need an option to get a external blu-ray player with this. Modern games take way to long to download. I install gigabit internet for a living but I went out of town just after I got this and it took a whole day to download a game over a cable connection {It was a slow cable connection with bright house}. The point being internet speed around the country is not ready to replace disk media fully just yet. Also the intel hd video driver constantly crash while browsing the internet. The rubber skin on the laptop feels great but it looks dirty as soon as you use it do to the oil in your skin. System boots ultra fast when its working correctly. Its very disappointing to have such a big problem right out of the box on such an expensive unit. I will try to return this to amazon instead of having dell fix it. I want a unit that is flawless from the get go on such an expensive laptop. ... show more
