Im only giving this 5 stars so people axually swe it Do not waist your time with this computer do not be fooled with its relatively nice specs it's a Alienware device by heart and has constant problems if you aren't experienced at fixing said problems

Have had numerous serious issues with this laptop since I bought it. Every windows update breaks something else in the software.The Alienware command center app is a RAM hog. Playing WoW with discord open and the Alienware system monitor overlay was using 15 GB of RAM. The "Gaming mode" button that turns on turbo performance is also reportedly responsible for frying people's CPUs. I think mine is a victim of that as well.The PC overheats without the turbo mode on because the fans hardly work in normal performance mode. Mine likes to shut off randomly without warning or errors. I first thought it was overheating but it does it sometimes within minutes of being turned on for the first time in a day.Today, it shut off twice so I pulled the cover to check the battery connection. After unplugging the battery and plugging it back in, the PC would not turn on for about 30 minutes at all. It also now will not turn on unless it's plugged in, regardless of the battery charge, which remains at 81% and healthy according to the BIOS.Every update of windows or audio drivers changes the settings and defaults of my headphones to something else. There's are 3 locations of settings to choose which audio hardware you are using, and they all get swapped around. Having to dig through each one to figure out why my mic stops working for example, is annoying.These issues are far beyond my ability and desire to fix. In short, this has been the most problematic PC I've ever had the displeasure of using. And at $1700 it's laughably bad. A "Gaming PC" that overheats at idle while the screen is in sleep mode is just stupid.

Very nice performance. It's about what you'd expect from a laptop with these specs. This thing is big, but it's not as thick as my previous gaming laptops so that's a nice plus. The fans do crank out and be loud, but that's to be expected from any gaming laptop. The IPS screen looks very nice, and mine came with very minimal IPS bleed. The speakers are ok, and the mic quality according to my friends sound like an Xbox 360 mic so you may want to invest in a decent headset.

Its a great laptop for the price. There are problems with over heating and bloateare from the initial turn on and use. These problems can be circumvented if you do a fresh windows install and install a 3rd party app yo control the fans as the dell software is horrible for fan control. Keynote: the Dell software will tell the fans to start revving up when its already too late and your GPU is cooking.Another reason people may stay away is the bios upgrade for some reason limiting the size of RAM to 32g. Not a huge deal but we are heading into a world where RAM is being logged by all types of bloatware so 64g is becoming the go-to.All of this being said, you get a solid piece of machinery and graphic power for the price and if taken care of, can last quite a while before needing to upgrade to the next best thing.P.S. if youre still getting overheating. Get yourself a quality laptop cooling pad to decrease those temps by like 10°C. Don't complain that it'll be too loud because you'll most likely be wearing headphones.

Ok, so this laptop needs updating. If you’re thinking about getting this, my advice to you is UPDATE the drivers!!! Especially the Intel ones. It didn’t run to its potential until I did this.It’s super fast, running at well over 100 FPS on the latest games.

I have owned many Dell computers in my lifetime and this one is a solid performer for gaming and everyday usage. Its only weakness is that the audio port seems to be a dust magnet and has to be blown out regularly to maintain a connection to an external speaker or headphone. I got tired of blasting it with a can of compressed air so I just use Bluetooth for external sound with it now.

I have had this now for month's and it works nicely, though when playing music it has a tinny like sound to it, but then again it is a laptop and not a desktop. It also has Windows 11 - which I HATE ... coming from a Windows 7 64 bit laptop. Advancement in technology is not always beneficial. Plus the added costs of the various subscriptions to get what one wants. At least my old Microsoft Office package still works on this and I can avoid the 365 subscription fee.If it is not broke, then why fix it?Companies today seem to design things to become outdated as soon as they are sold. I am old school, you do not replace something until it dies. My old laptop a Dell XPS (15 years) finally died hence the upgrade.

The first thing that caught my eye was a tattered and taped up box... not the shipping box, bit the original Dell box. Then after opening, there was NO POWER ADAPTER?! How is that possible for a new unit?So, I did not even get a chance to turn it on and check. But it was CERTAINLY repackaged in the Dell box, hastily and badly taped, and as mentioned, no adapter! Also no paperwork of any kind.Caveat Emptor!
