    Love this computer and the service provided by Best Buy. I made the purchase on Wednesday 12/25 (Christmas Day) in the late afternoon and Best Buy was successful in honoring their 2-day shipping ETA. The computer works right out the box with no problems whatsoever.

    Replaced 14 year old PC. Speed was eye opening. CNC models that took 20-15 minutes to render now take seconds. Delivery was as expected. Somehow I missed stopping windows 11 auto updates and after 24H2 update things that worked well went south.

    Not a bad PC

    I got this for $400 off so thats why I snagged this pc. In my opinion, it is over priced some for only having 16GB ram but it is not bad, because I did not expect it to be a high end PC. Only complaint I have with this, is the motherboard only allows 2 slots of ram, and it is locked to 64GB max. I do like Dell’s way of cooling though. I played for 4-5 hours on CPU and GPU being 80% utilized and it kept them below 70C which is good. so, i am happy with this purchase, but I would not get it for full price

    It’s a pretty decent little machine. The case is a bit weird to open and install new components. I hear the 4060ti is bad which gave me buyers remorse. It played rivals pretty well and overwatch really well. I was able to stream at 1080p while playing Overwatch in 2k and it was a decent stream. I switch this out for an HP Omen with a 4070 super and I feel like I won’t be upgrading it for another least another 6 years. Wait for a Black Friday sale and this Alienware is actually a decent price.
