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.

Great Computer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this laptop as a HS graduation present based on a recommendation of my son who is a professional software engineer and uses one in his job. It is loaded with all the top of the line processor, video card and tons of storage (SDD). This computer is designed for serious gamers. My Grandson is not a serious gamer but since he will probably be utilizing flight simulators for his aeronautics degree I’m hoping it’s will meet all his needs. It’s pretty heavy compared to most laptops.

Processing juggernaut
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an amazing machine, as a software developer it’s kept up with my need for processing power. The RGB lights make it very easy and comfortable to use it in complete darkness. It is quite heavy and large, the inly protector case that fits it is the official Alienware case which unfortunately isn’t available in store at Best Buy. The LED on the power cord has a very bright which can get annoying when it’s turned off and you want a dark room. Nevertheless I still rate it 5-stars!

Good some flaws
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted a high end starting to get into gaming, and video editing computer. I do enjoy the fast boot time. The fastest computer I had to date for boot time. I havent dug into gaming yet. I loaded some video editing software on it, and a coding application. So far all good. Only hick up is when its time for alienware update or windows update its anyones guess weather that will be good install or not. So far im enjoying this purchase. I got this at the chesterfield mo location, this January. The people there are very knowledgeable, always choose this location.

Perfect for drafting/ Engineering
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product, fast , produces more than expected. Doesn’t lag, unless the internet provided sucks. Usually waiting on others to catch up. Plenty of memory, from all aspects. Great visual experience with everything and no google eyes. Runs great with any add one,(wireless mouse etc...). Hope upgrades are comparable in the future. Service was awesome, they helped fit my needs with a great laptop.

Exactly what I wanted
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm the type of person that will scour over articles and reviews as well as compare tech specs and prices before I make my final decision. What sold me on this laptop was the ability to upgrade any part each piece at a time rather than have to buy a whole new laptop again in a few years just to keep up with minimum specs for the games I play. The only downside I can mention at this time is it's very heavy.

Great gaming laptop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really impressed, it's a bit heavy but they crammed a ton of nice components into this rig. The fans are amazing at cooling and keep my games running at ultra in alot of instances but they are on the loud side. But for the convenience of not having to build it myself, having a mobile aaa gaming device, and all around performance, I'm very impressed and so far happy with my purchase.
