    Bought this laptop because it was on sale, and I still feel like it wasn't worth it. I try to stick to MSI as I've had a few of their computers in the past but I decided to spend less than originally planned and fell for this option because of the sale. I've only had it two days and already regretting the purchase. It has totally frozen up on me a few times already, and just doesn't seem used friendly at all

    The hardware specs are top notch, the Alienware software wasn't so great. Returned it due to blue screens and random freezing and shutdowns while gaming.

    Still having random issues with it. A laptop this expensive should be flawless and it falls way short. I bought an $800 asus and it has outperformed my Alienware laptop. Not a good look dell.
