It's just what I need
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used my laptop for everything from gaming to work and cruising the internet. There are a few times that the laptop pauses for a moment "while thinking", but overall I am happy with the presentation, gameplay (no trouble there) and ease of use. And I love the colored keyboard!

Perfect
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Loved it and it worked so well. You can customize the LED lighting and the computer is so much quicker than my old computer, which makes coding and software so much easier! 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Not bad, but the AMD CPU is holding it back ATM
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to use as a mobile VR station for my Oculus quest. First, this laptop is not supported by Oculus for the quest. I was informed that AMD Cpu's/GPU's take way longer than Intel CPU's to get added. No matter what I tried, it did not work. I tested It with FarCry 5 and it averaged 55 fps on ultra and 77 fps on high. It's not a bad laptop, but it's very limited at the moment due to AMD support just not being there for this mobile Ryzen CPU. Once more support from both gaming companies and AMD comes out, it will be a much better purchase. I ended up returning this for an Asus Laptop which runs everything I wanted and only cost 100 bucks more.

Good computer with bad thermals.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Performance was great if I could've kept it cooler. Took too much tweaking to cool it down and that still wasn't enough.

Posted .Hello JMS2E,
Thank you for your feedback and review. We are happy to hear you are enjoying your G5 by most accounts. We would recommend checking to ensure that the latest BIOS is installed on your system.

Looks to be a great Laptop with a hidden issue
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just bought this laptop and it gets great reviews. Every media review says this is the best budget laptop to buy. But its got a hidden issue. It shuts down. Out of nowhere and its not because of overheating. My main game is almost 5 years and runs and looks great, but it should not be very taxing on the hardware. But I have on multiple occasions have been shut down in the middle of game play. No warning, nothing. Just shuts down and restarts. Its not an over heating issue (though it runs hot) Its happened 5 min after turning it on. I also run a cooling mat and that did not help. Its very upsetting because the specs, price, everything about this computer seem great. It just will not stay on. If you search Reddit and other forums, you will see this is an issue. Please look elsewhere. Mine is going back to Best Buy as defective.

do NOT buy
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you want to go online shopping, and play minesweeper, get this laptop. If you were hoping to do some gaming, do NOT by any means get this laptop. Over heats, will burn your finger tips off over heats, shuts down (i guess that's better than it combusting?), I've bought 3 different cooling pads, cooling vacuums, that sort of help, maybe (?) but then its really not a very mobile set up and you might as well just get a gaming PC... The design is awful, bulky, outdated and just awful. The vents are positioned in the back and has a grid covering the vents obstructing the very much needed air flow, and on top of the because the bottom of the screen has a curve even the screen blocks the vents! Waste of money, if your thinking about buying this just set the money on fire, but if you need a space heater for the winter this will do it.

Upgraded for speed and functionality.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This gaming laptop is a big improvement over my older one. It's perfect for gaming and office work. The AMD RX 5600 M 6GB gpu has been performing excellent and the laptop was a good price.

Excellent but a bit hot
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop punches well above it's price with the Ryzen 7 and RX5600m falling somewhere in between a comparably priced gtx1650 and a much more expensive rtx2050. My only complaint is that it runs a bit on the hot side even with the gaming mode on which causes the fans to run at 100%. A simple $35 cooling pad brought the temps down to about 70°C running in 1080 on high graphics at 70 fps. If your are there kind of person that wants your gaming laptop to look like a gaming laptop you will be disappointed but if your are an adult that still games this thing looks much more professional. I'd even go do far as to say it looks cheap and old but it's performance is anything but cheap and old.

Enough power for my golf simulator software
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve only had it for a month but Would have given 5 stars but I’ve had to reset the bios for backlight the keyboard a few times. Also had issues with the high def audio. These issues were probably caused by the windows updates though.

Good gaming computer.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good gaming computer for my needs (Skyrim, Mass Effect, Fallout, Dragon Age, etc).

Garbage. Don’t buy.
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop shouldn’t be for sale. It thermal shut offs non stop and hard reloads all the time. Runs great but after about 5 min of hard running just cuts off. I’ve got a cooling fan under it and it non stop shuts off.

It's good, but.....
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a good laptop but for gaming you MUST be a power user and able to tweak ALL the things lol. This laptop WILL overheat on you if you do not.

Posted .Hello MozzarellaStix,
Thanks for your review. We are sorry to hear that your laptop is running a little warmer than you would like. Your feedback is sincerely appreciated. If system thermals are of concern, you can prioritize cooling by opening the Alienware Command Center application that came pre-installed with your device and select the 'Cool' thermal profile. You can view the full article here - https://dell.to/2XAULtU.
Keep in mind that our G5 follows Intel performance design guidelines, which can lead CPU temperatures to reach 100°C to output top in-game performance. We fully warrant the product under these conditions. If you see CPU temperatures rising beyond 100°C on Alienware Command Center, you are more than welcome to contact Dell support for further assistance.
Best regards,
Wendy C.
