The 3070 GPU runs significantly quieter than the 3080 which I had previously. This also has the liquid cooler on the CPU.
I upgraded the RAM to 32GB. This is the only upgrade you need to do. I removed the included 16GB stick and put in two 16GB matching sticks. This gives dual-channel gaming.
I have it connected to a 38" Alienware ultra-wide monitor. It runs games perfectly at native 3k resolution.

The graphics are extremely good compared to the old laptop that I used to use and the fans can be extremely quiet but if not in use it can get loud. It has never crashed so I recommend it for all.

Very pleased w purchase after nearly 2 mo, no problems, is quiet and wicked fast for gaming. DRL (drone racing) runs super smooth using “ultra” graphic settings… and I’m “top 10” on the leader boards.

I play games like EFT and COD and this computer runs them flawlessly. And having a water cooled CPU my temps stay low. Great product for the price.

I will be writing an in depth review, but for now I wanted to make everyone aware that this machine has power mode issues.
On windows 11, manually putting it in sleep mode would sleep fine, but then reboot instead of wake up. I worked with dell and I was approved to rebuild it with windows 10 to test if it worked better. You can manually put it to sleep and it does wake up, but it never goes to sleep automatically no matter what.
We spent days troubleshooting, I rebuilt it a few more times and at the end of it all they wanted to replace my motherboard and ssd drive with a refurb.
At that point I decided to cut my losses and the many hours I/we have spent on this and just return it. Why are we replacing parts on a brand new machine? That just makes no sense and doesn't do a whole lot for my level of confidence on the product.
I was hoping this was the one, but apparently not.
