    This Alienware is a speed machine, despite being a laptop. Although it can run hot, the internal fans kick in as needed. Overall a great machine for both work and play!

    I think it’s a great laptop but I definitely expected a better battery life. It tends to die after about 2 hours just from surfing the web on the lowest of settings.

    This is a well-balanced choice; I recommend an external cooling device. While playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, the temperature was high, causing my Bluetooth headset to disconnect. I purchased an additional laptop cooling device, and now I can play games without any issues.

    Graphically the performance was good , the problem is the built in alienware software...it takes up alot of resources. 16GB is not enough for this laptop , 32GB needs to be the baseline. Also had issues with this running warmer than normal , yes I'm aware gaming laptops run warmer in general but I couldn't keep this thing at a reasonable temp without having the fans run almost full blast. If you buy it , go ahead and get an extra 16gb stick of ram and keep it cool !
