    Processing power and display are top notch. Despite it getting warm to the touch, the customizable key backlighting makes for the physical appearance to be quite attractive. I only returned it because of the motherboard breaking shortly after delivery due to a freak electrical accident.

    Bought alienware last december and the keyboard stopped working, dell sent a tech guy to my house to repair, he couldnt fix it. Had to mail ot to dell. ALSO FOUND OUT THIS IS COMMON AMONG OTHER ISSUES. I barely used it in the time ive had had it. For this money id recommend looking somewhere other than dell
