Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent Machine, Very well built, it is a bit heavy but very sturdy. Every title I have played on this so far has been on Ultra with no lag or issues, massive frames. Note: this machine has 3 M.2 slots total so you have a lot of room for expansion

Very powerful machine. A little on the heavy side but if you want a desktop replacement. It's hard to beat the power and build quality of the Area 51 18"

This laptop is amazing. Runs really quiet and the performance is incredible. Love that the vents blow out of the sides and the back instead of underneath. It’s already been used alot and not issues whatsoever. Highly recommend this product.

The Alienware system was very nice and I received it in quick time. My issue was with FEDEX, who indicated that a signature would be required which I figured would happen for a 2500 dollar machine. Well, they left it on my doorstep without a signature. Best Buy needs a better carrier for deliveries. The box looked like it played against the buccaneers, so I was happy the inside was secure.

This machine is everything I thought it would be. It's very heavy so I would not recommend it for a travel type laptop, but I move between two homes and it's perfect for that when I'm setting up between each place for a substantial amount of time. Graphics are super clear. One older monitor I had the video does not fill the screen due to the graphics card being much higher than the older monitor will handle. The screen is big enough to use alone. Processing is FAST. All around a great purchase and everything I thought it would be. Not top of the line but close enough.

Works amazing. Playing COD right now and its super fast. No lag. Runs nice and cool. Great size screen. Nice and heavy duty as well. Love it.

Best laptop out there, especially at the sale price. Truly a replacement for a desktop. Build is phenomenal, it feels as premium as it should be. Definitely a head turner. The weight is a thing, but if you’re looking for a desktop replacement, that you can take on the road. This is it!

Awesome Specs, very enjoying gaming experience! Graphics are almost real, including a software to optimize gaming experience with no lag, no glitches, no problems whatsoever. The laptop has great material and provides with cool LEDS all around, feature can be disabled with a cool “stealth mode” feature that also disables the sound of the fan which is pretty cool! 18’ inch screen which is awesome for watching Movies, Videos, Work and even playing video games. Travel compatible!

This computer is an absolute beast. It has easily handled every game/task I’ve thrown at it, and stays cool to the touch. I felt like I was potentially taking a chance buying an open-box version, but I have luckily not had any reason to second guess that. As a secondary bonus, the overall aesthetic of the computer is absolutely beautiful. :-)

Love this laptop!! I have been enjoying every second owning this! I recommend getting this over any other brand gaming laptop.

Awesome computer. Fast, powerful and fun to use. Thank you Dell!!! I look forward to years of quality use.

I like my Alienware, Area-51, it’s very fast and does what I want it to do. It’s a little on the heavy side, but i can deal with it, The best laptop I have ever owned, very good job on this laptop dell…

Pros: Great performance and build quality. Cons: Pricey and heavy, but this is known up front. There might be better values out there, but this one is hard to beat when discounted.

Love this computer! So many tiny nuances that end up making all the difference. Masterfully done

Fast and awesome. Love it. So much bigger compared to my 15"

I bought my laptop in August and so far it performs like a champ, until about a week ago the keyboard stops functioning when I switch account users or log off and on. Contacted dell support and they had to escalate it further up the chain because they couldn’t resolve the issue but, otherwise this is a great laptop.

Very powerful, and a great price! It’s a huge upgrade from my last Alienware!

I like really like its speed, the display size is perfect for my activities which are numerical simulations

Awesome, best laptop ever had. There is nothing bad that I can think of.

Is a very good product. I really like the display.
