    Great laptop! It has a 4070ti. Gifted it to my son and it does great on games he plays. The laptop is connected to our 4k TV and a little stuttering but over all a great laptop.

    Not only is it great to play on, but i use it for business which includes using CAD for designing. Great piece of equipment. I searched for 3 months and purchased this after doing research. The staff was great with their knowledge

    Great laptop for gaming and creative work. The graphics are phenomenal, and I am able to play games with ease. I highly recommend this laptop if you are looking for something for quality graphics and smooth operation.

    Good but frustrating

    What it can run, it runs amazingly. I went from an ASUS ROG Zephyrus with a 14-core, 12th gen i9 and a 3070Ti to this thing. The Alienware is much quieter, feels better built, and performs better (bigger gains than I expected). Unfortunately, it crashes when I try to play most of the stuff I want to play. Enshrouded, Anno 1800, Cities Skylines II, Sea of Thieves, et al., lock the machine on launch, and then it reboots. Anno 117 is the only game released in the past ~5 years that I’ve gotten to run on it (and it runs that beautifully!) Problem with the RTX50xx drivers, perhaps? Updating them hasn’t fixed it.

    A good replacement for an older XPS 15

    Amazingly fast with the right SSD. This supports and runs PCIe 5.0 but sold with a 4.0 NVMe drive. 2 NVMe slots and defaults as RAID. Memory can be upgraded to a max of 64GB, using 96GB or more will cause BSOD/memory errors. This laptop is great replacement for people upgrading from a XPS 15 with Core i9 with its metal lid and base. It also has a numeric keypad for sheets.

    Best laptop I’ve used—super fast and perfect for CAD work. Had it for a month and it runs great. The only reason I’m knocking off a star is the battery life—it’s not the best.

    Ok........ this is one bad B. Loving the laptop so far. Fast, speedy. The only thing I would say is... the blue paint is coming off on the laptop and it's only been a month or two of use. I might need to have Best Buy look at it. But in terms of the hardware, its great.

    This computer is fantastic — fast, reliable, and powerful enough for anything I need. I wish it supported USB-C charging, but given the performance, I understand it needs the extra power. Overall, an excellent machine.

    Wow! What a power house! Alienware continues to put out the best gaming laptops. Fast, exceptional graphics, great SSD, plays my games without lag. Nice. Do miss the original Alienware chassis though. Everything else will always feel cheap and dainty haha.
