Alienware has done it again! This 480 Hz gaming laptop will not disappoint, I’ve had this unit for close to six months putting it through the most extreme tests in gaming situations and it is come through like a champ. I have had no issues with regards to its performance. You might find that you need a settlement firmware upgrade where popping sound can crop up occasionally. This is a driver issue which is easily corrected with a proper download. The 18 inch screen is a dream, if you’ve never had a screen to speak you are in for a treat! I would highly recommend this product. On my scale of 1 to 5 I rate this product 5+ (SOLID BUY)

I love this machine. The display is crisp and has very good color balance. I really like the deeper screen (16 x 10 instead of the usual 16 x 9). The keyboard has a great feel. Keeping up with drivers, etc. is very easy with the Dell support site. It is a bit heavy, so may not be a good choice for someone wanting a really portable machine. There is a slot available to add a second hard drive if desired. The sound quality is above average, but not fantastic. There are plenty of USB 3 ports. The machine does not have an Ethernet port, but I rarely need that anyway. The CPU is fast enough for all the games I play, and with 32G of memory, it has enough resources for almost any use.

This is a review for the AMD 7845x & Nvidia 4080 model, with 32 GB RAM and the 1200p 480hz screen:This laptop is working perfectly and scoring extremely well on benchmarks. The only thing you need to do is uninstall Dell SupportAssist (after you use it to update all the lastest drivers/bios) because SupportAssist causes major but brief video/audio stutters every 10-15 minutes.Don’t do a custom overclock on this. There’s very little upside. If you do, it might bluescreen several times until it auto-reverts to default settings. Just use this on the Alienware performance mode and watch it crush other similar laptops in benchmarks and give you 100-400 fps in modern games at 1200p using the 40 series Nvidia features like DLSS, Reflex, and Frame Generation.The AMD CPU outperforms 11900 i9 (non-OC) desktop CPUS and the 4080 mobile GPU outperforms 4070 desktops GPUs.It’s an absolute cutting edge gaming machine for 2024 despite being a laptop because of the giant 18″ chassis which allows for adequate cooling, therefore no throttling.Seriously, I could not be happier.

Ended up keeping this laptop after my Razer just got too insanely hot. The dell is engineered with cooling in mind, and stays relatively cool under load for long periods of time. I was on the fence about going for an Alienware or a Razer and I’m really glad I went with the Alienware. The engineering helps to mitigate any problems normally associated with laptops.

Takes up less space than a desktop but has great power for games and work. Can have multiple programs running with no lag whatsoever. I love this laptop and the huge screen size! The screen casing seems a bit tight as there’s a yellow hue on the edges a bit while loading up but goes away when it comes to life! Love using it at home, but the battery life isn’t stellar even on power saving mode so I don’t recommend it for work on the go unless you work extremely fast.

This laptop is a beautiful beast! It’s kinda heavy but not too much to handle. The sound from the speakers is amazingly immersive! The battery life is terrible though. I haven’t figured out what all to do to manage battery usage yet. Right now, I’ll get maybe 4 hours before I have to plug it in. That’s with light web surfing too. I do love how fast it is. And the screen resolution is amazing! Overall, I’m very happy with this laptop.

ZERO complaints! Fast! high quality, fast, clear, quiet(yes it gets a little louder when you are working it).only issue is finding a sleeve that it actually fits in. This thing is huge.

I purchased it for my college-age child. She has been using it at college since August and loves it. It works well and has good storage. The only drawback is it is heavy to carry across campus with the backpack, and power cord. Her college campus is large and it is a long trek to classes from the dorm.
