    Box was damaged but the laptop itself was in good shape. Definitely wait for a sale to buy this pricy 2021 laptop. Better laptops out there for the 14’.

    Looks so sleek. Thin and mobile. My only complaint is the resolution of the screen resolution being a bit low but i knew that going in. Very good value for the price.

    Light, easy to travel. I bought it because I don't know how to use apple Os. Suggestion for someone to look into a laptop is, if you have extra money and not a student, buy Alienware, and if you are broke, buy Lenovo and Asus. Spec is nothing compared to Asus and Lenovo. The reason I bought this laptop is the same reason I picked a Louis Vuitton over a Michael kors wallet. I mean specs are the same but just Alienware will make people assume you have class :) And not a frugal.

    It is a decent laptop. But the only thing I didn't agree with was the ram was solderied to the motherboard and wasn't able to be upgraded.

    Good battery time for a gaming laptop. Fan noise is negligible when you are not gaming. Handles heat really well. Great to carry around.

    Purchased during 2022 Holiday sale. Laptop was $1,399.. but I got an excellent open-box for $1,150 before tax. Anyway, this thing is a beast for the price. I want to say it is worth the MSRP tag, but at the price I got it, it performs super well. CONS first: This thing is loud under load. The fans do make a higher frequency whine, and can sound like a small jet on your desk. Headphones easily cancel this out, but something to note. Also, Alienware software is hit-or-miss. I found it best to wipe everything, then reinstall Alienware Command Center. Last con is that the RAM is soldered to the board, and cannot be upgraded. However, I have found few issues with 16GB of RAM. PROS: Screen is brighter than most competition 14" units, and the 1080p panel fooled my friends into thinking it was higher resolution. It is a great display. This laptop is super thin, and the design is unlike other units on the market, so it's fun to show people. I can run everything in my steam library at Medium to Ultra graphics settings, and the laptop runs great. I even put it on a stand and connected it to a 1440p 165hz monitor, and it handles 1440p gaming wonderfully. Overwatch medium hits 180-200FPS consistently. MW2:Warzone2 hits 75-85 FPS at medium 1440p with DLSS on performance. Cyberpunk, Battlefield 2042, Witcher 3, Shadow of the Tomb Raider... all run great at 60+ FPS on Medium to High settings. Nothing is a problem for this laptop that I have found.
