Q: Can I add a m.2 to make more storage? If possible which type of m.2 would fit?
A: The Alienware 16 Area-51 AA16250 supports up to M.2 2280 SSD slots and one M.2 2230 or 2280 SSD slots. M.2 2230 solid state drive (supported on SSD-1 slot on your computer) - Up to 1 TB, M.2 2280 solid state drive (supported on SSD-1, SSD-2, and SSD-3 slots on your computer) - Up to 4 TB and M.2 2280 solid state drive - 2 TB of capacity
A: The computer itself cannot be charged with usb c, eventhough this have two ports but i think its for charging other things
Q: Does this come with the RJ45 ethernet dongle?
A: It does not, but! You can buy a good usb c hub with ethernet port and it will connect just like it has one! (Some games if you're a gamer might have trouble, but for most activities it seems to work fine. Only game that has been picky for me was FFXIV in game, but downloading updates was fine.)
A: This current configuration is shipped with 32 GB Memory. However, we couldn't confirm if its 1x32 GB or 2x16 GB Memory. Hence if you want to upgrade to 64 GB Memory you would need to either replace both 16 GB Memories or add one additional 32GB memory based on the configuration you receive.
Q: Does this model have the cherry MX switch keyboard?
A: This configuration uses Low-Profile Keyboard with AlienFX per-key lighting.
A: Yeah, it has 2 ram slots, and 3 slots for SSDs.
Q: Does this model have the cherry MX switch keyboard?
A: This configuration uses Low-Profile Keyboard with AlienFX per-key lighting.
Q: What’s the V ram on the graphic card is it 16gb vram or 24gb ?
A: neither, the 5070 Ti laptops have 12GB

Gotta love that alien world.Laptop area fifty one
I've bought a alien wear area. If you do on laptop before I still have it. It still runs excellently, and that's what really pushed me to get this one. I got a great price on it. It works magnificently. I'm blown away. It's more portable than the desktop laptop that I bought prior and man. I'm just blown away. They just they just keep getting better and better. Extremely satisfied with my purchase and I highly recommend it to anybody that's looking for more portability. And power to play those powerful games

Best laptop I've ever used
This laptop is by far the best laptop in its class. The storage is more than enough to house large AUTOCAD files, games, and pictures, with plenty of room to spare. The overall preformance is superb. It hasnt lagged once while doing work. The weight is just a little heavy, but despite that it fits with the laptop and makes it stronger and more durable. The screen size and refresh rate make visuals crisp, smooth, and clear. The customizability of the lighting really adds to the character of the laptop.
