    Bought this as my first PC after years of using Apple macbooks. 1. This computer is super loud. Sounds like a jet engine when I turn it on and run COD/GTA/most high capacity games. 2. The HDMI port randomly stops working and then randomly starts again after random number of restarts. 3. Did I mention how LOUD THIS COMPUTER IS.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      ptk1485,

      Thanks for your review and we're sorry to hear about how loud your computer is performing. We'd recommend that you install the BIOS update for your computer that should help with the noise that you're experiencing: https://dell.to/2XAULtU.

      If you are having connectivity issues with the HDMI port we'd recommend trying a different HDMI cable in order to see if the cable or the port on your computer is causing the issue.

      If you have additional questions about your computer please check our Product Support Page here: https://dell.to/33eb5SV.

      Best,

    Arrived on time and an extremely easy setup got my son on his way to the online world. Not very techie but this computer seemed extremely fast with great graphics...no glitching here! No issues with fan noise as others have noted. A mouse would have been. Ice as it only came with a keyboard.

    I thought I would never buy another desktop ever. I needed something with a lot of horsepower that can run multiple graphics programs at once. I bought this desktop with hesitation. I was totally wrong. It has rough my world. I love this Alienware desktop.

    Husband loves the PC, user friendly interface and easy to upgrade and overclock. Sadly it doesn’t power off and it restarts continuously when it goes into sleep mode. Contacted Alienware only to given the run around so f them. Wouldn’t recommend but since there is a scarcity in PC currently buy if it is a last resort.

    Would give higher rating except fan noise is extreme , sounds like a jet engine on a plane , Gpu is only 65 deg and still loud , returning for a refund , didn’t pay 2 grand to listen to that and have a problem later after warranty expires .

    Runs all the top tier games with no issues. RAM comes a bit lower than I wanted but that can be easily increased. Very unique design makes it really stand out in my set up. Good investment for years to come.

    My son loves this gaming system. It's a great computer and is lightening fast. I had to buy a 1 TB internal harddrive for my gaming son since the 518 GB SSD isn't adequate to store many games.
