    Ugh. I really wanted to love this thing. This was my first Alienware laptop. Really nice specs on paper. The keyboard stopped working (it's a well-known problem). Even after the fix, it still would shut off. It's a shame. It really is a nice machine. Build quality is okay. G-Sync monitor and the display itself are really good. I really this to be my MSI GS75-9sf-243 replacement.

    Spacebar randomy adds extra spaces after 4 months use. Trying to install their support assist software will cause bsod, then if you do manage to get it installed you will constantly crash. Thought I might be ok with 1 usb port, I was wrong. Thought I might be ok with just 16gb of ram with no way to upgrade, I was wrong.

      Dear James,

      We would like to thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We are sorry to hear about the troubles you have come across with your Alienware x15 R1 gaming laptop.
      We’d recommend that all drivers are updated and the software you are using meets all system requirements. I have provided a link to the Drivers and Downloads page below, where you can check for any applicable updates:

      Drivers and Downloads Page: https://dell.to/3JEt8re

      For the issues with crashing, I have included a link below to help troubleshoot and resolve these issues.

      Resolutions
      1. Run a Computer Diagnostic. To determine if your computer is experiencing a hardware problem, run the Dell Pre-boot System Assessment (PSA) Diagnostics. For information on how to run Diagnostics, and to determine the issue, refer to Dell Knowledge Base Article: http://dell.to/2iaiujA
      2. Check Safe Mode for Symptoms. To boot into safe mode, please follow the instructions below:
      a) Start the computer.
      b) Tap 'F8' on the keyboard immediately and every one second until the Dell logo screen disappears. From there you will see the Windows Advanced Options Menu on the screen. (If the Windows Advanced Options Menu does not appear, restart the system and try again.)
      c) Select Safe mode with Networking and press Enter.
      d) Log on as the administrator or as a user with administrative access.
      e) Open applications and test the computer in safe mode. If the symptoms exist in safe mode, please continue the troubleshooting steps in this article. If the symptoms do not exist in safe mode, the issue is likely related to a driver or software and you may wish to complete step 3 to see if you can resolve the lockups or freezing.
      3. Check for Malware. Malware (Virus, Spyware, etc.) can cause a Windows system to lock up or appear to hang. To check for malware on your system and to ensure that your computer is up to date on security software, visit Dell Knowledge Base Article: http://dell.to/2wWP1zI

      The computer restarts or shuts down intermittently, locks up, stops responding or an error occurs: https://dell.to/3GX6BVf

      We will share your comment about only one USB port and insufficient memory with our quality team, so future improvements can be made.

      If the problems with your gaming laptop are still not resolved after applying the troubleshooting tips above, please contact the Dell Support Team at 1-800-624-9896 for further guidance.

      Best,
      Katarina@Dell
