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 purchased this for CAD for a CNC design/ editing. 4k video FPV video editing and Flying FPV drones in a really realistic simulator. The experience is exceptional. Feels as if I'm flying the real thing. If wearing the fpv goggles. It's almost indistinguishable. Really fools the brain great experience. Extremely powerful processing. For a laptop. Metal case, thin screen Alienware command center. Awesome i9 is amazing RTX graphics keyboard feels great like a quality should. Great value for the money Alienware without the Alienware price tag.

Bought this laptop for work purposes with a docking station. Something more convenient to transfer data from the office to the house and keep working on the same set up. The screen looks beautiful compared to my older model 1080p and especially wonderful on my samsung monitors. Set up was easy and simple however making sure each of the we're drivers updated was a test of patience. Because of the dual graphics cards and the auto detect functions for activities you see a lot of activity in the background. Immediately uninstalled mcaffee and seen a considerable improvement in the computer, obviously using other security programs. Generally have 4 screens going with multiple applications and haven't seen any overall problems. Crashed the computer on a couple triple A high end games trying out the highest settings and started finding the limitations of the ram. Definitely purchase a cooling board because this unit gets hot. overall id give it a 4 out of 5 due to needing a bit more ram for those high end games at ultra settings.

Bought this laptop to replace an aging 7 year old HP OMEN. It has been nothing but issues since day 1, frequently will self test the video card before starting up. Installed an extra stick of RAM only for the BIOS update to completely negate it and the laptop no longer recognized it. Laptop fans spin up to max speed randomly while the only application open is Spotify to stream music. Bluetooth refuses to connect to devices half the time. If you choose to try and game with it you either need to sit inside of a deep freeze or wear thermal protection because this thing runs hotter than a flaming turd on the sun. Under no circumstances should you choose to purchase this device, you would be better served buying a deck of cards and playing solitaire than owning this waste of metal and plastic.

Es un buen equipo, muy potente, 16gb de ram le quedan chicos, para usar todo su potencial necesita los 32gb. El software y los servicios de dell son ideales para tener bien el rendimiento. Si bien es una notebook, su tamaño, peso y cargador(gigante) no la hacen muy comoda para el transporte, y no existe bolsos de notebook para su tamaño por lo que directamente habrá que llevarla en una mochila. 1tb es lo minimo e indispensable para usarla en un principio pero luga ya te deja ver que se necesitará otro ssd. Por mi parte el software de macaffe no es de mi agrado, considero que consume muchos recursos del pc para mantenerlo seguro, y sinceramente si no te metes en paginas raras, no descargas software de dudosa procedencia y no abres los mail spam de "te ganaste un smartphone" con windows defender basta y sobra. Por ultimo note que el software de alienware que trae y el de nvidea se pisan uno al otro buscando optimizar la pc, supongo que bastara con probar cual da mejor resultado y a partir de entonces elegir solo uno de los dos.

No complaints after 6 months or so. Thanks. I bought stock in the company as I remembered all the Dell machines I've had that never had a problem besides growing obsolete.

Update: i go the replacement and it does NOT have the line on the screen. laptop runs games well at 1080p, which is what i was hoping for. only issue is that the laptop acts weird on battery. i was playing eldin ring and it ran fine for a while, but then just started running at 1-2 fps. alt+tab tooks a while to work and so did the windows button. first time i had to hard shut down. when it happened again i was able to close the game and the desktop ran fine after that. really weird. may have been over heating or something. i was playing it in the car. never got any notifications about the computer over heating though. poor quality control and weirdness on battery. It'll run things fine on power and if you can get one without the line on the screen. Definitely good for under $1000. The one i got is defective. It has a line on the screen. Updated bios, drivers, used ddu, booted to external media. Persisted. Sending back and ordered another one. Will update if that replacement is not defective.

Our college student loves this because homework can be finished and games can be played on this laptop. Used for drafting-tech classes. Note: It's been a challenge finding a reasonably priced, protective laptop backpack for the device's size. We ordered one (18"+ H) from Land's End. I'll write more once we receive the backpack.

Upgraded to 24G RAM (had 16+8 on hand) and works well for playing games on STEAM with Discord in the background and using a USB connected control. Can hear the fans kick in but works wells. The charger is quite bulky so I would not recommend this as a commuting laptop.

I've been using it for months, It's given me a great deal of performance for the price, running most games at 120 fps comfortably, and hasn't given me any issues in coding. The screen has great colors, it's really smooth. Ram can be an issue, but you can always just slap another stick in there. All these points are great except that IT COLLECTS ALOT of dust, and it warms up a lot and you can see the dust that it accumulated in the vents from the outside. Cleaning can be quite tricky but is doable, considering it must be done often it is annoying. The RGB is mediocre at best, as it doesn't seep through the key caps bright enough, and you don't have many customization options, and the program by alien ware is ok. About the battery, I'd give it 2 stars if this wasn't a gaming laptop, nowadays you can find laptops that last 10 hours, this one can last around 5 if you really push it to save battery, which is good enough for my situation in college. Overall for what it is, and to whom it seems to appeal to it's a decent deal.

The worst laptop I’ve owned. Returning it. • Constant blue screens, especially when playing Battlefield 2042. Random restarts mid-game make it impossible to enjoy. • Cheap, low-quality packaging that didn’t feel protective at all. For the price, I expected better. • Bulky power supply in a form of a brick 1/4th the size of the laptop itself. • Crashes, overheating, and restarts ruin the gaming part, definitely not worth the price.

Heats up fast if your playing high graphic game would recommend getting a laptop cooling fan to go underneath

I don't think I've ever played Valheim for hours on a laptop that runs so cool! The GPU was always a constant 63°c, to me that's unheard of.
