Amazing laptop for a reasonable price
I waited weeks before giving a review to ensure I am giving an accurate review. This machine has been flawless. The display provides a crisp and smooth view. The 4080 provides a respectable level of future proofing whether you game, 3d model, or simply watch videos. The 1TB storage is enough for moderate use and certainly enough to start with. Alienware control center allows many things to be done easily. Whether you want to add personalization via rgb lighting or overclock for maximum performance, it's only a few clicks away. Personally, I chose to upgrade the RAM to 64gb for 3d scanning operations along with adding an additional 4TB m.2 drive. I don't hold these upgrades against this unit, it was much more cost effective to add myself. Also, the upgrades can easily be done by anyone with a precision screw driver set. If you are planning on being mobile with this laptop, I do suggest purchasing a lightweight power supply.

Powerful gaming laptop for the power users!
Great laptop overall. Cpu runs a little warm in my opinion but still maintains boost at them temps so all is well. Upgradable storage and ram! Screen is not an Oled so not 5 stars but a beautiful 240hz screen nonetheless. Colors are excellent. Speakers are lacking but thats common laptop problem. 4080 is a beast even in a laptop. Don't run it on battery so i don't know how it does.
