Gaming paradise
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Build quality is amazing thin lightweight gaming laptop with a matte black finish. The rib strip on the front is also a nice touch. The battery life is also up to par for the full hd display with resolution at 1920x1080. My favorite aspect of this laptop is the customizable multi segmented rugby keyboard. The different combinations that can be done had me entertained for a while. This is a laptop that will be utilized to its fullest and will be enjoyed while doing so.

Bring the Marshmallows...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My quick take: Within one week, it overheated so badly that it blue screened due to a memory crash. And, running at modest settings in Outriders, it still stuttered terribly. I also could have just about cooked over it. Returning it for sure.

Posted .Hello TheAverageGeek,
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 G7 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.

Not ideal
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Subpar thermal management, only one duct for heat withdrawal, and not to mention the the second m.2 connection doesn't have mounting equipment so you will have to special order it. It's a good laptop, but not for games

Great laptop, Crappy battery & GeekSqaud service!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The laptop works great, however the battery is not working well. Took it to Geek Squad they replaced it and same issues. They said there's nothing they can do. So I just have to keep it plugged in. Annoying.

RUNS SUPER HOT!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The summary says it all. Regardless of the specs, this thing runs super hot and games begin to stutter after less than 30 mins, regardless of the fan/cooling settings. Just a VERY poor heat management system. Yes, drivers and BIOS were all updated. MAYBE some improvement, but honestly, I couldn't honestly tell you it actually made a difference. It's like the difference between hot and a little hotter. It's still HOT!

We'd also recommend managing your computer's thermals with the Alienware Command Center. You can use the Alienware Command Center to manage your system's thermal temperatures based on how you are using your computer.

Good for 30 min... bad for longer..
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Stay away from this laptop if you're here for serious gaming power.. Although it has great specifications, the cooling system in this laptop makes it impossible to play games for longer than 30min-1hr regardless of what "cooling mat" you buy.
