    Not only great item but also was so surprised at the Gulfpoint area sales staff. They explained price match and explained how beneficial it would be to use that and purchase the items my son needed. Incredible in a time where my own finances as many must stay in check. Bestbuy not only cared about the sale they cared about retaining is customers...

    Not only looks brilliant (it really is great to look at), but most importantly it does everything you would want a mid-range gaming computer to do and more. Would highly recommend - have been buying alienware for years and always impressed.

    I have owned Razer and Alienware in the past. The laptop works fine. I came from a Razer laptop and the fans are a lot quieter. Doesn't come with a lot of bloatware installed. You can set power profiles for gaming per game or manually change them as you see fit. You can control the RGB lighting, fans, voltage etc. Haven't had any problems.

    An excellent laptop! I can't believe I finally got a decent machine, the price is higher!! But I get it tho.. quality speaks for itself. Processor is very fast and you can even overclock the machine with alienware command Center! Which is pretty awesome if you ask me! The graphics card I don't even know where to begin 10/10. NVIDIA RTX 2070.

    I’ve only had one issue and that was when it did it’s well update. I had to let the battery die because it froze at the end of the update. Other than that it’s great. Runs fast and smooth. A lot of memory and has good sound for my music

    I had an Asus ROG that was on its last legs, and wanted to stick with a 17" screen. This is one of the few I could find. I read all the reviews I could find on it and decided to give it a try. It is expensive, but I think it's worth the price tag. It's fast, it's powerful and it's everything I wanted in a gaming laptop. I highly recommend.

    This is an excellent computer; An absolute workhorse. I purchased this unit because of the programs that I need to use for my line of work as a Mechanical Engineer. I was primarily focused on storage capacity, expandable RAM, a SSD and a high performing video card. This computer exceeded my expectations.
