I was looking for a gaming laptop because I have always been a Mac user and wanted to play games on the go. For the games I have played so far being Marvel rivals, 6 Siege, schedule 1 and other steam indy games i have had absolutley no issues.

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.

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

Excellent build quality, but I ultimately went with a 4080 GPU and have not regretted it. Screen was a bit dim.

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

It's loud but when playing with a headset you won't notice the noise. It's also pretty decent computer to run AI algorithms.

I like it ! The only concern is you must have it plugged in at all times, in order for this lab top to work well, it because it doesn’t effectively run its best , without being plugged in to the wall . When playing a video game on it.
