This Is by far the best laptop I've ever own. The 8GB of memory dedicated for the video card is amazing. The processor rocks as well. 16 gigs of ram is more than enough

I bought this almost a year ago and it's still running strong! This Alienware laptop is also good for Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4. I play them almost daily and I haven't run into any problems yet.

This laptop performed great for the software I'm using. I would give this 5 stars but battery life is not the best. I also use this laptop while on the road and the charger pulls a lot of watts, so if using an inverter for a vehicle it must be a high watt inverter.

So happy to have this system. I click the power button and less that 7 seconds login button shows up. Apps start really fast too. Very productive. I am not using it for games. I process photos and videos.

OK, Let me start by saying That I haven't had a laptop in about 10 years . This laptop has over exceeded my expectations . Every game I have thrown at it has had no problems at all . Destiny 2 runs Roughly at 110 FPS, Overwatch is the same . Those are max settings. I have also streamed and gamed I read overview About someone saying That the Display is not geesink , But it is. If you go into the nvidia control panel You can enable it there . I have no regrets and I absolutely recommend Anyone looking For portable gaming Laptop To pick this up .

I love the features of this laptop, it is a little heavy but that is expected in a gaming laptop. Gets rid of the excess heat really well.

This PC is amazing in how fast it flies. Only minor complaint I have is that the power button always requires you to first open the monitor and I usually have it plugged into a monitor.

This is a beast of a laptop! It'll run the latest games (Far Cry 5, Rage 2, etc.) on the highest settings and has never once crashed. I'd give it six stars if I could.

I needed a better computer, that can do music production. You need about 4 to 8 cores; to make a complicated song.
This one has 6, and the graphics are amazing to play any game.

Pretty Good Game Laptop with fans failing

If you are into games and planning to get Mixed Reality or Augmented Reality support, I definitely suggest. No other gaming system other than Razor and Asus can beat this laptop. I bought this for my son, and I occasionally use AutoCAD and other graphics software along with PC games and we have found the games render pretty good and 3D graphics rendering is pretty good too. Streaming games from Xbox One to this laptop is pretty good if you have great Internet speed. The only issues I found is an occasional failing of Fans when you boot, I noticed it only once until now in these 2 weeks of usage. If it happened after 6 months of usage, I wouldn't mind, but in fairly 2 weeks of use, I see it as little odd. If I see one more time, I have Geek Squad, I take it there instead of putting my fingers on it.

The only thing I don’t like about this laptop is the battery doesn’t last long enough, maybe 4 hours is the most!! And sometime nom of the keys work and I will have to restart it. But it is still a good laptop overall.
