    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The loading takes a bit anf sometimes lag. Maybe not 5.8 CPU clock base and might be 2.3. The battery lasted around 1 hour and 30 minues or 1 hour and became hot quickly in around 5 minutes. Besides that, runs smoothly, keybaord and kepad feels amzing.

    I've only had a few months and it is glitchy. I didn't realize Dell made alienware or i never would have bought it. They have already had to replace the charging block for over heating and now i lose sound and have to restart. That is not considering the error messages i get continually. I had a lenova ROG before this and never an issue. Totally regret getting this. At the moment whenever i go to full screen it freezes and i have to restart.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
