Great gaming laptop, runs every game on high settings. The 1070 gpu does run up to 70c. The price of the GTX line is coming down as the RTX line is coming out. Best Buy reluctantly price matched Dell.

The battery life is good for a gamer laptop like 4.5 hours in basic things like internet, office and for gaming 1-1.5 hours depending the game, of course i can play many kind of games like Doom 2016 also Resident Evil 7 in hight settings like a charm.

bought this a few years ago and this was amazing however i have upgraded to the Alienware Area51m and i love it but this computer was rock solid i loved this thing looking back at this picture brings back good memories.

I've had my Alienware 17" laptop now for several weeks, and it's a beast. I was not sure when opened it if I had made the right choice, it was so big, and heavy. But I've grown accustom to it's size, and love it. Glad I pulled the trigger on this beast.

I am a gamer and have made several desktop game computers;. Needed a laptop to be able to sit with my wife, she has dementia and needs me to be close by. this computer competes with my desktops and is excellent with my current games that I have on GOG

This was a great laptop, I needed a replacement as my own laptop was outdated and I had to restore it three times. This new laptop is more up to date and powerful for running programs and games.

I wanted a new gaming machine so I could play games that I owned but had no PC capable of running. After doing some researching online, I decided that the Alienware 17 would give me what I wanted, and so far it hands every game I've tried on it.

Got a great deal, only issue was Windows 10 and it's updates. Got the blue window of death on two of these. Contacted Alienware/dell support they got it back up and running but it had made it's own bloat wear. I had to figure it out, Now it's lean and fast.Since it takes a few days to load it up with my business and= video production software it was an issue for me.only one more issue support cannot fix, on my lock screen I put in a slide show with a bunch of different alien pics. Stupid windows makes a collage out of them most of the time. Microsoft Support gave up on my issue and have ghosted me. No overheat issues. Does everything I could ask business, video/audio production and gaming. I know a pod cast company who use it for recording and editing production and live production. I'll be back after this one goes.

I love the gaming laptops, but there’s gaming and then there’s GAMING. This is the latter of them. Great price for a laptop that plays anything anytime. I love the possibility to go anywhere too. I will buy the next gen as well in a couple years.

I LOVE my computer. It is perfect for a gamer who doesn't have to have something like the nVidia 2080 or an i9 (i.e. a serious or professional gamer). It works great for Witcher, Assassin's Creed, and even Zoo Tycoon for my daughter!

Lets start with I'm not a computer guy. The reasons I bought this laptop will make some people cringe. My 11 yr old MacBook Pro took a dump and I wasn't spending $3000 to replace it, it was a gift. Wanted big, this thing is big. Wanted a backlit keyboard but not white. This is backlit with infinite color possibilities. Wanted heavy after watching my friend backhand his new 4lb HP off of the counter snapping the screen off the body. I'm having a hard time making the transition from Apple to Windows but that has nothing to do with the computer. I do like having people that know computers say "wow nice laptop" and ask if they can check it out!

As a gaming laptop, it fits all your needs allowing you to use as a normal laptop for work and night time fun for all those games. . the only downside is just the weight of the laptop.

I’ve owned an Alienware before. Mine was from 2011 so it was time to update. These laptops are great for gaming, fast, and does everything I need it to. Highly recommend.

I have enjoyed this laptop. It is fast and has lots of storage space. Gameplay on this laptop is smooth. The ability to change the LED colors throughout the laptop is a plus!

Bought this for my son as an upgrade from his last Alienware and he’s got everything he needs. Best gaming laptop out there, good value, fairly sturdy and handles well.

So killer specs, and not problem with heating on this Computer. Able to run all games, do any of my 3-D Cad and have plenty battery life for the power that it contains. My only draw back about it is when it last updated, between the speakers, lose of control sometimes on a my alien command center, and the fact that i cannot switch to integrated graphics to get more batter life is annoying. I know that his web Paige does not say it but this is a g-sync pannel. For the money i dont understand why i am having issues with the speakers they have a sequel or chirp noise to them, and when i updated my laptop yesterday i lost control of the EQ settings in my Alien Command center which is annoying especially for the price. So theirs a lot of take it or leave and and im still on the fence about this computer

Mostly play Destiny 2 and Division 2 with it. Performance is great with both games. Cooling is fine and noise level is low even when on performance mode gaming. The laptop does not throttle performance is consistent.

When I first bought the laptop, I felt that I wasn’t really ashamed because not only did I need it for gaming, I also needed it for college. I bought it for a good price.

This is a supreme laptop. If they truly resolved overheat issues with this release then double-down on the table. Current old laptop is at 9yrs and still running well, I'd expect this AW togo that at min...see you in 9yrs.

Only gripe is the size, but the specs run great and it doesn't get so hot that I can barely touch it like some laptops when running games. Built in Alienware utilities are decent for overclocking, managing fans and sound.
