This is one of the most secure Laptops I have ever encountered and I so wish I had gotten this Alienware a long long time ago. The speed is incredible, so for you gamers out there this product is a must have.

I like it and it’s a good build just had a bit of problem with the lights on it not turning in sometimes and not changing until I restart the laptop rather then that it’s plays games with a ease

I got this and it never worked. Half the keys wouldn't light up and it gave me blue screen of death. That's not to say that Alienware isn't a good brand, I just got a bad one.

Hi Awalker80 -We're so sorry to hear that your new Alienware computer is not working the way that it should. We'd recommend that you take a look at our One Year Limited Warranty policy and see if your computer qualifies - http://dell.to/2tNsVOs. We hope that you will have a computer that functions the way that it should soon. - Bryan

The 17 R4 has solid construction, super fast graphics and cool changeable keyboard/edge lights. The only 'con' I can say about is that it weighs 10lb and feels heavier than that.

The gtx1070 plows through visuals with very high fps. A bit heavy (weight) Love the 'alienware' lighting effects. Large size (17.3") makes finding a suitable bag/backpack challenging.

was good for a week, then programs would have issues with one another. I do not think it was Alienware itself, but the reinstalling from geek squad for open box. It was a powerful machine. Weighs almost 11 pounds. not fun to pack around.

Don't forget to get the warranty because the power cord broke just after three weeks. Now I have to be without a computer for a week. For the amount of money I would have expected more.

It has the power he needs for all his games plus his video editing work.

Fast Laptop

The laptop is fast. I upgraded the disks to raid 0 (Mirrored). Had to use SSD/M-2 for the upgrade. Kept the 1TB drive as a non-mirrored bulk store for things I don't care about.
The graphics adapter that Dell/Alienware sells for the machine provides an external graphics capability. However, if used, it disables the internal one in the system. This kept my rating to 4 stars instead of 5. I run 6 screens and would like graphics cards driving the 4 monitors (2 can be run by the internal card). I use USB for the other 4 - ok for displays that don't change much.
