Wasn't initially going to buy this, but the clerk said "Hey look at these good deals stranga" So, I looked inside his trench coat and he pulled out 10 open box laptops. Among them was this Alienware. Beforehand I wasn't interested in looking at Alienware because I know their price point. Regardless of price, this has been hands-down thee best computer I've ever had. Does everything I want and more! Thanks, Best Buy! Go look at the open box units around you. Mine was practically brand new.

I bought this product for couple of reasons. But most importantly is Alienware airflow. At AAA games you’re looking at mid 60 degree gpu and cpu at maxed settings

Solid Mobile Platform

This Alienware R15 box is a very solid gaming machine but it weighs quite a bit. It’s mobile and will help build muscles so you can forget the gym membership.
CPU- Intel i7 7700HQ is a solid performer. You won’t need to worry here.
RAM - 16 GB system ram is plenty of memory for anything you can throw at it.
Video Card - 1070 GTX is a great performer. I was running BF5, GTA5, and other current games at High with no issues at all.
Keyboard - Standard fair. Works well and the RGB is good.
Heat - Cooling is very solid but the system will get to sounding like a jet engine.
Others - Alienware uses its’ own bloatware to run the RGB and it is a bit buggy. My problem seemed to be with the Dell drivers failing upon boot.
Overall, this is a 4/5 purchase. It’s a very solid worker that is quite a bit on the heavy side.

Bought this for running several software that I am using in my graduate work, and it has not disappointed. It may not be as fast as a fully built out desktop, but it gets the job done and being portable is a huge plus! The eye-tracker software can be a little weird to get used to, but it has its uses for saving energy and battery life.

If you are looking for a machine to play computer games, this machine is at the price point where you have what you'll need. There is enough solid state memory to make loading the Windows 10 OS a breeze. The 1T hard drive has plenty of storage for games and data. The graphics are superb. I would recommend picking up a gamer mouse to make the whole gaming experience unique and a cooling tray for the laptop. Enjoy!!

Future proof beast

This thing is a beast. You can do anything goes you need or want on it. I use it for school, video editing, games (highest settings), and Windows Mixed Reality (WMR).
The computer is quiet as it cools, starts quickly, and feels very durable. I also own an MSI Steel series, and an ROG. After buying this Alienware, I will never go back. It's Alienware all the way.
Buy it. You won't be sorry
