Bad out of the box, Great if you tinker it
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality2 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use3 out of 5First gaming laptop so I kind of went more for the specs rather than other things like thermals. Here are the problems you'll see: 1. Thermals are just disgusting. 100 degrees C and above from just some light gaming. Either the laptop will crash and reboot or be throttling hard throughout. Either way, bad for long term. Dell has to release more updates to fix this. 2. There is a nasty stutter. I was able to get rid of it by uninstalling most of the Dell bloatware included. Other than that, the laptop is zooming if you can take the time to tinker with the thermals. There is a guide for it on the interwebs somewhere.

Quality2 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use3 out of 5Brand response from YourDellTeam
Posted .Cyan,
Thanks for your review and we're sorry to hear about the trouble that you've had with your computer so far. Thankfully there is a way to help with the thermals on your Gaming Laptop:
1. Update your computer BIOS to the latest version available
• Browse to the Dell Drivers & Downloads page:
• Ensure you have selected the correct Operating System
• Under Category, choose BIOS
• Locate the latest System BIOS
• Click Download and save the file to your PC
• Open File Explorer and browse to the location where you saved the downloaded file
• Double-click the BIOS setup file and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process
2. Open Alienware Command Center
3. Click Thermal at the Active Default Theme and set it to Performance
4. Restart the computer
5. Once the computer boots into Windows open SupportAssist
6. Go to the Troubleshooting tab and click on I want to check a specific piece of hardware
7. Click CPU under CPU Devices
8. Select CPU Stress Test and click Run Test
9. Open the Alienware Command Center and go to the Fusion tab
• The CPU peak temperature should be less than or equal to (≤) 100 ℃
• When under high stress, the computer's average temperature can be expected to be less than (≤) 100 ℃.
If you are still experiencing freezes on your computer you can try the following:
1. Run a Computer Diagnostic. To determine if your computer is experiencing a hardware problem, run the Dell Preboot System Assessment (PSA) Diagnostics. For information on how to run Diagnostics, and to determine the issue, refer to Dell Knowledge Base Article: http://dell.to/2iaiujA.
2. Check Safe Mode for Symptoms. To boot into safe mode, please follow the instructions below:
a) Start the computer.
b) Tap 'F8' on the keyboard immediately and every one second until the Dell logo screen disappears. From there you will see the Windows Advanced Options Menu on the screen. (If the Windows Advanced Options Menu does not appear, restart the system and try again.)
c) Select Safe mode with Networking and press Enter.
d) Log on as the administrator or as a user with administrative access.
e) Open applications and test the computer in safe mode. If the symptoms exist in safe mode, please continue the troubleshooting steps in this article. If the symptoms do not exist in safe mode, the issue is likely related to a driver or software and you may wish to complete step 3 to see if you are able to resolve the lockups or freezing.
3. Check for Malware. Malware (Virus, Spyware, etc.) can definitely cause a Windows system to lock up or appear to hang. To check for malware on your system and to ensure that your computer is up to date on security software, visit Dell Knowledge Base Article: http://dell.to/2wWP1zI.
You can read the full article here - http://dell.to/2tW5m33.
Please reach out to Dell's Technical Support Team for additional assistance if you need it: http://dell.to/2sH7Qlm.
Best,
Bryan

Overall Happy
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I bought this laptop because it was on sale and had some add-on products. Overall I’m pretty pleased with it. It’s a bit clunkier than what I expected but it is my first gaming laptop. I purchased online so I went in not knowing how big it’d be. The fan is the biggest issue I have with it because it kicks on quickly and can be a bit loud making me feel like it’s going to overheat. 2 months in and it hasn’t. For reference I’ve only played League on it and it runs well.

Gamers laptop not stuck
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Bought it as a Christmas gift for my son. Since he needed a laptop for school, figured you get him one with games too. Only issue I have had so far, is the upload at the beginning. There was no notice of a progress or that it would take a while, but it felt like it was stuck at this point (almost like it was frozen). After about 3 hours of waiting, it got past that and we were able to continue. Needless to say he loves it and all it’s features.

Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Great product the only helpful people are the salesman who helped me pick this out. I had to get it because Geek Squad had to help me get my other computer fixed under the protection plan but really couldn’t help me at all and wasn’t very kind customer service with Geek Squad 0/5 but the salesman helped me find the cheapest computer for the best price!

Perfect Laptop for Gaming on a Budget
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use3 out of 5So I bought this laptop a month ago, and I am going to be honest, it needed a little bit of work done on it. I had to install updates on it immediately for it to fully work properly, and it took awhile afterwards for it to actually do just that. However, a month later and my computer is working like a charm. Another thing I recommend is immediately upgrading your Memory, yes this computer's memory is upgradable. It can be upgraded to 2 TB I believe, solid state, but I am upgrading it to the base memory and an additional TB. You can also upgrade the RAM all the way to 32 GB, which is truly impressive. Basically, this computer is perfect if you know how to work on laptops and have access to Geek Squad.

Faster than what reviews led me to believe.
|Posted .Features
Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use3 out of 5Overall a great product. It does get really hot as other reviewers . Fans are quite loud when they get going. Out of the box you will have to update the bios and drivers otherwise it will not perform as it is supposed to but once you do that its good to go. If you are willing to adjust settings you should have no problems with this laptop, as usual with AMD powered devices you tend to get a decent product that needs some love out of the box. In Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark on highest preset I averaged 75 fps. My results in games are as high as what I have seen from reviews of rtx2060 laptops which was surprising considering every review I have read put it under it and more in line with an gtx1660ti.

Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5This is a great laptop ..But.. it gets very warm.. 90°c warm. I actually had to turn off the boost and that helped a bit, but it still is toastier than I like so I think under clocking and /or undervolting might be best.

Q: QuestionSo I see that this can have memory added to it from the 256 gig and it has 2 slots available, but how much can it hold? 512, 1T ?? 2T?
