    Love the laptop. I dont love the power supply provided that is clearly not for this laptop and pops out of the back if i move the laptop at all. Would have gave 5 stars if I received the actual Alienware power supply.

    Horrible experience

    Horrible experience with Alienware!!! It’s my second laptop of Alienware. First one was with 1070 card. I used it for 3 or 4 years and my keyboard had stopped working. This laptop is my second laptop from Alienware. And what do you think? After 1,5 years of usage the keyboard totally out of order. Need to replace. Of course warranty service is finished… How it’s possible that on both laptops same problematic? And this company positions itself as a premium product. I would say more. This second laptop always throttling, bcs of overheating. After 30-40 min of gaming it starts lagging hard cuz GPU drop the frequency. I put maximum performance in the system settings and still the same issue. And the cherry on the cake, on my latest laptop, the backlight on the right side of the screen disappears, so 20% of the screen without backlighting. You have to close the lid of the laptop and open it again to make the screen work properly. It’s mechanical problem, not software. I pay twice as much as the competitors suggest for the same laptop and I get this quality. It’s my last Dell product ever!!! Worst company in the world.

    After 2 years of using it off and on for a few hours a week the motherboard went out. Hard to find a replacement board.
