Customers enjoy the high performance and impressive graphics capabilities of this 17.3" gaming laptop, praising its fast boot times and solid build quality. However, some customers note that the laptop's weight and heat generation are significant drawbacks, along with less-than-stellar battery life and noticeable fan noise during intensive use. The large screen size is a plus for many, but the bulkiness impacts portability.

Good Laptop with bad QA

No issues with the laptop itself when it is in working order. However, I had to do two exchanges before I got one in working order, and even this one has an issue with the bezel around the screen being loose. One of the previous had a broken keyboard and the second's bezel was completely broken off. So, yeah, it's a good deal, but look it over good. I also had to buy an after market Intel Wifi card for it, as the built in "Killer" has compatibility issues with certain routers (including mine). Dell's QA is real bad.

Love this laptop. It really is a desktop replacement machine. It does have a few minor issues.
1. Not enough USB ports - it has 2 regular USB ports, 1 on each side. It also has a USB-C.. but I don't have much use for that right now.
2. When it's running "full blast", the fan gets loud..
3. It uses a 240W powersupply.. If I ever need a replacement, it won't be easy to find.
4. I still haven't gotten my digital downloads.. I'm going to have to call BestBuy to figure out how to get them.

Great laptop even in 2021, can play most games 1080p max settings and get 65-85 FPS on AAA games. A big things is i never had issues with thermal throttling like i did on my MSI. The I7-8750H is a powerful portable CPU that can handle most demanding task. And the 1070 GPU is still powerful today matching the GTX 1660Ti in most cases. Only down side about this laptop is i wish it would allow you to overclock the components like the I9 and 1080 set would. Then this would be a killer laptop.

So far it has been a great laptop. Not a slim light one, but after having 3 of those go out... I don’t mind the heft.

Best All-around mobile desktop

Weighing in at around 9lbs, this isn't exactly mobile. I'm still giving it 5 stars since performance is desktop class, and with the Alienware backpack I can take this to wherever there's a desk and game! I've used this to play with mouse and KB, Xbox gamepad, watch media connected to TV and just about anything in between. I've had it for over 6 mos now, no issues, great customer support from DELL and this machine runs triple A titles without any hiccups or frame skips.
