Why is literally no one talking about the size of this laptop’s power brick?
I can palm a basketball but this thing pushes the limits of my grip (see pic). It’s MASSIVE!
It weighs in at a whopping 2.2 lbs! I’ve had many laptops (about eight of them) and I’ve never seen a power brick even close to this size. It’s so big that it makes my dirt bike look like a toy! I included an image of the power brick next to an Xbox One controller for comparison.
Understandably, the computer requires a large power brick in order to move enough electrons into the system to keep it processing all those ones and zeros. So, I’m not suggesting they change it. But it’s amazing that no one is talking about it in reviews, here or in web articles, because this thing is a beast and a legitimate safety concern. If some poor student skips leg day and has to walk across campus for something then they might not make it with this power brick on their back (“Student down! STUDENT DOWN!!!” sirens in the distance…).
The computer? Oh yeah, it works great! I got the exact model I ordered (the 2070 Super graphics card) and it was brand new, not used and repackaged. The computer arrived earlier than expected and while UPS was rough on the box, it was double boxed and everything was fine. The computer fired right up and worked flawlessly.
The looks on this machine are incredible! The overall design and functionality are perfect (IMO). The fit and finish are second to none. I love that you can customize the individual keys for different looks (see attached pic). Better block out a few hours if you’re an artist type because you can craft some sick layouts for this laptop. You’ll definitely be flexing with this laptop 😉 I’m very happy with this purchase and I’m glad that I went with Alienware.

This is a very good performance laptop. All those dumb, unnecessary features: touchscreen, low-quality webcam, predownloaded useless software– you will not find here. These people spent their time on one thing only: quality. This is a half-decent laptop, it can handle anything from Skyrim to Doom and more, easy. The only thing you might compain about is there’s no number pad, which is a minor inconvenience for those who want this for anything that involves number crunching. Other than that, the laptop even gives you full control over its internal components, so you can decide if you want full-on performance or a laptop that doesn’t make a sound as you scroll through social media or whatever.

These are my impressions after 1.5 years of use.
Pros: excellent processing and GPU power. High monitor hertz for a laptop. No bloatware. Beautiful construction. Decent sound quality from built-in speakers.
Cons: terrible battery life (but who is really playing games on-the-go with laptops?) Computer crashes 50% of the time when you plug it in after it being critically low.

I took one look at it & fell inlove. Wasn’t sure which brand I wantes to go with for gaming but the look of the thing made my decision easy. Had it for 2 months now, works great. Only complaint is how hot the keyboard gets. Literally burns your hands, besides the standard gaming keys, they must do something to cool those. Beautiful laptop & display. Runs Overwatch better than my Predator 300 Helios did.

Good for gaming I’ve been able to play most games with no issues. I highly recommend a cooling pad. Unless you have the fan turned up to max which is super loud you’ll melt your hands off playing games at higher graphics settings. I understand the heat comes from the increased performance but I’ve had a few time the cpu and you temps have maxed out past 99 degrees. I’m always having to put games graphics down not because it can’t handle it but because I’m afraid I’m going to melt the table or my hands. Which kind ruins the point of having a high performance gaming laptop in my opinion.
Other than the heat the quality of the laptop is very nice and clean. You’ll need an external hard drive as the default one is way too small for today’s games sizes.

Had mine for a few months now. Core temp was reading some very short instances of too hot. After a ton of different tests that a dell support done and 10 minutes for her to check with her superiors, they said it was fine, since it is not constantly too hot. It runs fallout 4 on highest resolution with over a 100 mods, with no problem. I don’t own any games more stressing on a pc than that. Fans are really loud once they get going, recommend getting a external cooler if your not good with that, for keeping the fans from going full. Must keep it plugged in while gaming, accidently left it unplugged and in about 20 min it was 6% from starting full. The cord it comes with has a blue led built into the part that goes into the pc. The cord and pc port are not properly angled. The laptops back it partially tilted and the port does not compensate for that. Aka the laptop back is at an angle and the port is straight. It works fine but sometimes I have to unplug it and replug it in to make the cord give out the full amount of power. Sometimes it doesn’t charge, sometimes it charges so slow battery is draining while charging while just watching Netflix, nothing more running. Just unplug a replug firmly as needed to fix. Just a small design flaw, looks over perfect function. ///////////////// Update: just a few months past the warranty, I ran a memory test with a windows tool. The issues I thought were from windows 11 being buggy was actually from memory hardware issues. I ran the dell software to detect hardware issues and it came up clean. I didn’t know this windows tool existed until now. Dell customer support said my issues were normal and everything was fine, so I left the issue and bought a costly fan to manage the problems. Now I know that there was a ram issue during the building of the laptop like I specifically asked the customer support if is had memory issues. My first and last time buying from Dell.

I bought this for my husband for our wedding anniversary and he loves it. We both think it’s a beautiful laptop and it runs games excellently (Skyrim on high settings was the first test run).
I was worried about the reviews stating that it runs hot, but my husband figured out that you can manually run the fans higher to prevent overheating (and you can even make custom fan speeds for certain games that might be graphically demanding).
With that said, fan usage will drain the battery life faster but according to my husband’s personal needs in a portable gaming device, he doesn’t mind having it frequently plugged in at his workplace. If battery life is an issue and if you’re not the most tech savvy of people to manually configure temperature for this laptop, it may not be for you.
