Questionwhy was the listing removed?
Asked 4 years ago by Huntlinc.
- Answer Maybe when it was removed, Bestbuy grew a conscience at the time as they knew they were always provided advertised Win11.

QuestionWill the 1TB SSD be a Gen3 or a Gen4?
Asked 4 years ago by Sandra.
- Answer It uses PCIe 4.0. The drive that's included isn't the fastest I've seen, but it'll handily beat any of the last generation NVMe drives.

Questionis the RAM upgradable or soldered..? How much TDP is the GPU (3070) model has with dynamic boost..?
Asked 4 years ago by Balacr7.
- Answer Haha YourDellTeam is drunk. No mobile GPU can do 220 watts lol. According to Alienware’s own tech sheets, the 3070 in the X17 has a base of 125 watts which can boost to a max of 140 watts. The 3080 in the X17 has a base of 150 and can boost to 165 watts.

QuestionIs there Liquid Metal on the CPU? What about the GPU? How's the cooling compared to the m17?
Asked 4 years ago by ADONiX.
- Answer Weird that the official response from the Dell Team doesn’t mention their own proprietary liquid metal, “Element 31”. It’s all over the marketing info for the X17/15. According to Alienware, they apply Element 31 to the cpu to help keep it cool longer.

QuestionWhat is the expected battery life for non-gaming tasks such as web-browsing?
Asked 4 years ago by StrongBad.
- Answer About 2hrs give or take some minutes per online reviews. Probably longer than what it would take for Bestbuy to fix the incorrectly advertised Win11 that may or may not come with it.

QuestionWhat is color accuracy and Adobe RGB in this new model? Is screen good enough to work with the photos and videos? (Or is it better than the previous M17R4?) Going to purchase it. Thank you.
Asked 4 years ago by Ezha.
- Answer The answer from the best buy rep was false and misleading to buyers. I disliked and reported the answer. This model includes FHD not the UHD. Only the UHD model was advertised by dell as having 100% color gamut. The color gamut on this model with FHD is not advertised on best buy or dell. I would appreciate an honest and accurate answer to the color gamut on this model.
