sturdy and high-quality chassis, external graphics card via Amplifier, excellent battery runtimes, many illumination elements, USB 3.1 with Thunderbolt 3, bright IPS display, excellent performance, good input devices, decent sound, handy tools, nice...

some components are tricky to access, occasional CPU & GPU throttling in extreme scenarios, battery drains under maximum load (mains), only two memory slots, chassis slips easily, high weight

You will hardly find such a stylish and diversely illuminated chassis in the notebook segment. Thanks to USB 3.1, NVMe-SSD, Skylake processor, DDR4-RAM and GeForce GTX 980M, the other components are high-end as well. The package is rounded off by great...

the screen is about as good as they get; good build quality; the keyboard is excellent; solid performance; runs quiet; good sound quality and volume

Expensive; Trackpad is a little small and not that impressive; Some may find it too heavy

Full-fledged gaming machine ; Flexible desktop mode ; Excellent large screen

Still quite expensive ; Slightly bottlenecked Amplifier performance

Best PC i've ever had, aside from the blue screen crashes.

Not sure if its a problem with the laptop, or windows 10, but even fresh out of the box, I keep getting "Bad_Pool_Header" blue screens of death.

This laptop is true to Alienware craftsmanship. After the few months of owning and using it is still going strong. Handles everything maxed. Stays cool. The features are still awesome. Good job Alienware!

None.

If you have the bucks for this laptop buy the predator series from Acer. You will not be disappointed. I purchased both models and the craftsmanship on the predator is outstanding.

Windows 10 Blue screen of death several times. Finally after three days laptop would not power on and beeped 7 times indicating the CPU was fried.

Great battery life, extremely good gaming performance, dunno why people think this thing gets hot, mine seems fine after 1 hr of playing witcher 3 maxed out max brightness

Non so far.

-easy to set up and use -fast and can easily multi-task from start up. -large display is like a hooking up to an HDMI t.v. and graphics card powers through most anything spectacularly -long charger cord that allows you to easily move the laptop around...

-a bit bulky, large and heavy. makes for very few placement or storage options, though a small con at most. -having a bit of an issue with the wireless card, though it could just be my interwebs. -the large surge protector can SOMETIMES be a hassle,...

-Its thinner than typical beefed up gaming laptops -Doesn't run as hot as I expected -Incredible display quality, sharpness, and color. Specially good for color and photo editors -The chroma keyboard is super zen to work with -Battery life is super...

-The battery is NOT removable and it's especially hard to get to. Terrible design if the battery needs replacement. -The casing is plastic and feels specially cheap. I would've imagined a better casing to protect it better from denting. It had a tiny...
