    This machine is much lighter than earlier alienware laptops and the performance is excellent, but it should be right?

    Excellent performance! Using nvenc you can stream to twitch while playing dayz or just about any other game. The cooling solution is a bit loud but it allows the cpu and gpu to stay nice and cool. Gpu below 70 celsius, cpu gets up to about 78 celsius. This is during extreme usage. This laptop beats one of my kid's desktops that has a 3700x and a 2060 super. For a laptop to beat that machine I'm very impressed. Bitcoin mine at 52.5 MH/s 140 watts

    This is a great laptop. The RTX 3070 runs at 140 watts and destroys the competition. The screen is amazing. The keyboard is fantastic. The build quality is very high, and even the speakers are good. Battery life is terrible, but that's the only negative I can think of. If you get this as a desktop replacement, you won't be disappointed.

    Nice Machine. I love the design and the specs are very good for the price. I got mine for $1,700 as an open box that was like new. The only complaint that I have is Alienware as a whole, when it comes to retail units at least, they have some quality control issues. Make sure you inspect your machine before your return date is up. Thankfully mine is perfect but it is my 4th attempt.
