Best Alienware laptop ever, great build quality
||Posted .I have long been skeptical about Alienware computers because of the many reviews out there that warn would-be buyers about their tendency to overheat and fall apart. However, after using this Alienware 13 R3 for several weeks, it's clear to me that either those reviewers are greatly exaggerating, or Alienware has improved their build quality to the point that those reviews are just not applicable to the Alienware 13 R3. The Alienware 13 R3 is a very good gaming laptop. It fits in a bag designed for 15.6" laptops comfortably, despite having a significantly bigger than 13" chassis due to the radiator on the back for the large-ish mainstream GPU inside, the GTX 1060. For its 1080p resolution, the GTX 1060 should be fine for mainstream gaming for years to come, so performance-wise I'm quite satisfied with it. And of course because this laptop is still new, right now the performance is phenomenal. There is a lot of competition on the compact gaming laptop market right now, and this laptop is right there at the top of what is possible with current technology. I see signs that competitors and even Alienware might eclipse this laptop's compact bang-for-the-buck performance in just a few short months from now with "Max-Q" laptops, but right now I'm happy with it, and I got a good deal on it from Best Buy. So the main things I can recommend on this laptop are that it has a good graphics card, a good enough screen, and a compact enough size that it isn't uncomfortable to lug around in a bag. The touchpad is good, but nowhere near as good as a Macbook's. The keyboard, however, is fantastic -- I love the keyboard so much. The tactile response is delightful and the keys feel very solidly built. I also like that the screen hinge seems extremely sturdy, so I don't expect to have to run back to Best Buy for a repair on this unit any time soon. The whole laptop just feels solid and well-balanced. It's very satisfying to interact with and doesn't show any indications of weak points. That doesn't mean you can toss it around the house with reckless abandon, but it definitely feels built to handle day-to-day wear and tear for many years. For the price, this is great stuff. Just be prepared to spend another $800 or so if you want to upgrade it with aftermarket RAM and high-end SSDs for increased storage capacity and multitasking ability.

Great Laptop! Exactly what I wanted!
||Posted .I returned my Dell 13 XPS two-in-one because it lacked the graphic card that this laptop has which allows me to do intense gaming and video editing. It was able to handle all that without breaking a sweat. I heard complaints about the Alienware being heavy. In terms of size and weight, I have to say that I much prefer the Dell 13 XPS that I returned. But in terms of power and performance, this Alienware 13 blows the Dell away. Of course, this version costs more so you need to take that into consideration. I did not get the OLED version because it wasn't available, but I am saving about $300 with this Full HD display. The only negative is that this display isn't Touch-Screen capable. I assumed that all Windows laptops were touch screens. After a day with the laptop, I decided to keep it. I rarely use the tablet mode anyways.

Such power in a compact form factor
||Posted .Upgraded from 15 R2 which was just too heavy for me to carry around everyday. After reading some reviews about this laptop, finally decided to upgrade and made the right decision. AWR3 13 is perfect for my daily needs, just about the right weight, size and power. I'm also a casual gamer and this laptop can run everything i throw at it at high if not max settings. If a 1060 doesn't cut it out for you, you can plug-in an AGA with a 1070 or 1080 for a much richer experience.

Best laptop I've ever owned!
||Posted .This laptop has easily been the best laptop I've ever owned. Not just because of the price but the performance is amazing I play online games for hours at a time and has never once overheated on me crashed or had any issues. The fan is large enough to cool the computer down. And it's still mobile enough for me to take it around if I need to. It has enough space for what I need and a high-end graphics card to keep up with my gaming needs overall this is a beast of a laptop and I would definitely recommend it to anybody looking for a smaller yet powerful laptop that can do everything you needed to do and then some.

Powerful Machine in a Portable Package
Posted .I'm really loving my new Alienware 13 R3, and KUDOS to Best Buy for being one of the few retailers that actually have any Alienware in stock - this is great for people like me who have no patience :) So far, I've upgraded my RAM to 32GB DDR4 @2600MHz and upgraded the SSD to 2TB (this machine takes m.2 [80mm]/PCIe). I love being able to use Tobii and Windows Hello to log in using just my face and I'm very happy that Alienware (aka Dell) reintroduced the illuminated trackpad on the 13" models. I feel that this machine is well worth the money, especially given all the upgrades available. Compare this unit to Razer and you'll find that you get more for your money and you can do more with Alienware! Razer is all beauty and no brains or substance (I was considering their latest 14" model)! Alienware, on the other hand, is both beautiful - beauty is in the eyes of the beholder - and has a lot of substance :) Very happy with my decision, which I did after thoroughly researching alternatives including MSI (stealth line), Razer (14"), HP (Omen and Spectre), Dell (XPS and Latitude), Lenovo (Y700-series) and Acer (Predator series). Most important to me was portability (small form factor, minimized bulk) with no sacrifice in capability and power. The Alienware 13 I have has a Core i7 (6th gen.), illuminated keyboard and trackpad, small footprint (less than 5 lbs. a little shorter than a MacBook pro 15"), Tobii aware (not with eyetracking), Full HD anti-glare, and full-sized keyboard). Again, I'm really happy with my decision.

Blazing Fast - Lots of Fun to use.
||Posted .I edit video for a living and traveling with my desktop editing beast sucks. The screen quality and clarity is excellent. The 1060 GPU blazes through rendering. I do a lot of 720p for web applications - my first 3 minute video rendered in 30 seconds. This laptop is has a second empty M2 slot for expansion (cool) but it uses to 8gb ram chips, filling both ram slots (sucks when I want to upgrade). The dual camera facial recognition for logging in is lots of fun,and works in just about every lighting condition I've faced so far. The keyboard took getting used to like any new laptop. The only downside to being 13" is no numeric (but I knew that going in). The only thing I wish this machine had was a card reader. Overall I love this machine, and would recommend it and buy it again (if needed)

Absolutely beautiful!
||Posted .Now that I've owned an Alienware, not sure I can ever buy anything else. I absolutely love this laptop for everything it offers for a non-gamer like myself. Love, love, love everything about it, especially its speed.

Great computer, but test it out in person
||Posted .I've gone through a 15" R3 and though it was too heavy and large. The 15" doesn't fit in any of my laptop bags. I exchanged it for a 13" and the dimensions are much more manageable. The large heatsink in the rear adds a ton of girth to it. By no means is this is a slim jim. But I prefer a quality build with cooling capabilities in the forefront. I'm a video editor and this rig does the trick when I need to edit in mobile. I recommend visiting a store with the 13" on display to make a better judgement.

Q: QuestionHow color accurate is the screen if it does not have the OLED display
Asked by Cuckoo.
- A:Answer I've been playing on it for a month now and the colors look good of course it will look better and brighter on the OLED display but for the price and the power behind it you can't go wrong.

Q: QuestionDoes this laptop have a USB Type C? And does it support wide screen monitors like the 34inch curved LG
Asked by Hugo.
- A:Answer This laptop supports something better than USB-C: it supports Thunderbolt 3! With Thunderbolt 3, you can plug USB-C devices (and USB hubs if you need more ports) into the Thunderbolt 3 port. You don't need an adapter, because USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 use the same physical port. You can also plug in a Thunderbolt 3 hub, which can simultaneously support external GPUs, monitors, USB-A devices and USB-C devices. It can even charge your laptop straight from the Thunderbolt 3 port! Note that the port is on the back of the unit. The laptop also supports all DisplayPort 1.2 displays, which can support any 34" curved display (I'm assuming at a resolution like 3440x1440 at up to 100 Hz). You could even plug your display into the Thunderbolt 3 port! That port supports 40 Gbps so there's very little it couldn't drive that exists today, and there are all kinds of adapters and hubs that convert from whatever other protocol to Thunderbolt 3 (including DisplayPort 1.2). It also has a "native" mini-DisplayPort 1.2 connector though.
