Customers are saying

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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    It looked smaller in the store but no regrets buying this laptop. Super fast with a huge 17.5" screen which I need for software development. I travel for a living and I have yet to find a carry on briefcase that it will fit in. I have also purchased a Samsung 970 pro NVME 2 drive for more SSD storage. Overall very happy with the purchase.

    I haven't owned an alienware for a long while since before Dell purchased the brand. I have heard mixed reviews. 5 months later I would definitely recommend this laptop. Solid productivity and gaming with the gtx 1070 mobile. A couple hours battery life. Only con is size and weight but it is a desktop replacer for sure.
