However I will say this. This was a very dilfficult decision for me. It was between the Asus rog, the MSI, and gigabyte laptops with the same specs give or take..(same GPU CPU and RAM) I chose this because you can get this in the same price range as the other manufactures models with the same specs, however Alienware has done a fantastic job with the quality... I spent countless hours researching every model, before I bought this..For the same price, you can get a GTX 1060, an I7 6th gen( the 7th gen benchmarks like 8 percent higher, and for gaming, I promise this won't matter! The build quality is at least twice as good as the others. It feels like a very well made laptop with metal in areas the others use plastic with.The 300 nit gsync display is very nice and it's LED..Although gsync isn't necessarily a must have. I can assure you it truly helps you have a smoother experience with some...

Presentation and aesthetics The laptop came in a very secure box. Of course, branded with the Alienware logo everywhere. The laptop is also somewhat heavy. I'm used to Lenovo business notebooks so my opinion may be a bit irrelevant on this point but this is heavier than the average business-style Lenovo. Aside from that, it looks just like the pictures. The Alienware logo on top of the case glows blue. There are LED strips on both sides of the laptop that glow blue, both on the sides of the screen and the base of the machine. The keyboard has blue backlit LED lighting and the power button, another Alienware logo, can change color depending on how the battery is doing. Lastly, the Alienware logo just below the screen is, you guessed it, blue. The laptop didn't come with any imperfections in the case or the screen. Everything was pristine. 5/5 The Hardware Of course, the hardware was as promised in the ad. I'm a...

I like Dell's design and the AlienFX keyboard colors. However, it happens several times that the windows crash and I has to restart the computer by press the start button 5second to turn it off. It seems like the Dell's sleep mode has some conflicts with the default battery save mode. The Windows system works fine after the restart through. Second, the shipping(I bought if from Adorama Camera) is really really slow (around 15 days). For this reason, I regret I didn't buy it from Dell(They can give you a deal if you call them directly or through the website).It comes without obsolete driver which needs you to update the latest driver from dell. Third, the warranty has passed few months. The warranty is still not changed after 15days since I contacted the seller (This may cause by Dell Support's delay).
