    The machine is lightweight and adjust performance to increase battery life when not under stress. One complaint is that the Alienware software along with other background makes the machine idle at about 13gb ram utilization. That doesn’t leave a lot available for other tasks. Now, you can upgrade this to 32gb ram for about $100. But with it was offered that way.

    Needed to upgrade from an ASUS gaming laptop which I had for about 10 years or so, and so far this PC has yet to disappoint. I use it for the occasional gaming and for work. One thing that kinda triggers me is when it goes into performance mode, everything gets loud and if you are somewhere where it's completely silence you will get looked at, not a fan of that but you get used to it. Hopefully it'll last as long as the ASUS that got pushed into retirement lol.

    Very nice laptop 2 things stood out 1 design either you hate it or love they slimmed up the back side and the material is solid well built the 2 the I/O choices I hated the placement of the usb was right next to my house hand no ports on the left side besides the Ethernet jack .As for how it ran well pretty well solid fps in 1440P if you catch it on sale go for it or look open box but for 1900 new I think there are better cheaper options out there

    We purchased the Alienware laptop for our son and were not disappointed - great laptop with all the bells and whistles he wanted! And, when it went on sale a week after we purchased it, Best Buy gave us the sale price. You have a customer for life!

    I like the Alienware laptop it has amazing performance in games I would recommend that you do all the updates first and be aware that it going to run really hot in the beginning but will eventually cool down. I got a good amount of fps on high to ultra high around 100-160. It is lighter than most gaming laptops with similar specs. Battery life is about 4-6 hours

    Loud and powerful! Sounds like a jet taking off in high performance mode! Other than that, great entry level gaming laptop with decent battery life. Only gripe is that it comes with only 16gb ram. Need at least 32gb, but upgrade to 64gb for the best.

    does run hot but is a great piece so far. I would buy again for the price. No complains other than I wish it ran cooler.. But when you have lots of big hardware heats going to happen!

    Love this Alienware M16 R2 Laptop

    Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I spent a long time looking for a new laptop and tried out quite a few across different companies. The Alienware M16 R2 is a killer choice and fits what I was looking for! Some reviews talk about high RAM usage out of the box - which I experienced as well (>10GB / 16GB) I did a fresh wipe and installation of Windows and it dropped down to >5GB and have no problems with it whatsoever. Can get loud under load but it's way less than the other newest series laptops I tested

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
