Workhorse
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super awesome speed machine! It’s required for my son’s college engineering courses and he is very happy with it. Cooling system is very loud and it weighs a ton. But the light affects are cool.

Yikes! I might have gotten a lemon
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the short time this laptop worked it was great! First, the heat sink and then battery died. After getting that replaced by a technician coming to my home within 24hr of informing Dell, the speakers stopped working then it was the motherboard went bad. Dell was great in getting the replacement laptop to me within 3 days. Alienware warranty is highly recommended. This laptop came with the basic coverage and all repairs and replacements including tech time was covered with the basic coverage. After all of that happened, i extended and upgraded my warranty to the premium package.

A powerhouse for gaming and content creation
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop is excellent for my needs of gaming and video editing. It is a bit heavy but it's not the kind of machine that you keep commuting with. It is a powerhouse and the 360Hz display is pretty unique. I recommend.

Great laptop capable of all with annoying fan
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The computer can handle anything howver the fan setting are challenging if id set it anywhere less than 100% IT WOULD GO TO 0% UNTILL it got warm enough that it forced it to 100% i found if i rebooted it it would go to proper setting but rebooting for every change of fan was annoying also the fan at 100% is annoying if i didn't have sound playing through a headset At first the sound i said to my self yea that's what id expect of a gaming laptop needs to cool for that poweeeeerrrr!! But it grew annoying at 100% when i wasn't gaming n had to change fan settings then reboot every time i was between games doing other stuff

Best laptop ever !!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since I bought my first 980 alienware, working has never been so easy. This new 3070 allows me to play any game and run any program including 3d design programs such as Lumion or Revit. I recommend this 100%!

Over Priced
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's ok, nothing special. Keep getting an error saying that the charger that it came with isn't compatible. Call and did the updates no fix. Gets hot, fans are loud but not obnoxious.

Happy with my first Alienware product
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first new laptop since 2008, am really happy with the purchase. Always wanted an Alienware machine, it does not disappoint. The Alienware update system had some issues, was able to eliminate them by doing the updates one-by-one. I haven't had a lot of time to work with it yet, but I am going on vacation soon, at that time I will get into it much more. Am wondering where my "add-on" of Webroot is - it's not installed and requires purchase. I'll probably have to call customer service. All in all, am very happy with the laptop. If you're on the fence on this one, go ahead, it'll make your day.
