Pros & Cons
Pros
This is a great gaming laptop that has fully met or exceeded my expectations. This notebook is the first notebook i've every really enjoyed playing games on.
I find very few computers that offer the uniqueness that alienware computers have. Great laptop from dell.
The video card is awesome and i am having no problems running things on ultra settings (battlefleet gothic, vermintide, just to name a few). The easiest way to insure you're using the more powerful n nvidia chip is to install geforce experience from t... Read More
The screen is beautiful, as you should expect from ips technology. Crisp and clear, as expected. Works well for gaming.
As for the overheating, i use my laptop on my lap and its a little warm but not to the point where i can bake cookies on it. Minimum fan noise and not heating alot.
Cons
Despite its weight and thickness, it isn't very rigid. It's unconscionable the way they behaved.
Dell laptop is a piece of the worst electronic junk i have ever owned. Since dell bought them out i guess that was the end of an incredible computer maker. Stay away from dell and go for a reliable gaming brand.
Highlights
Quality
Very pleased with the product and fast shipment.
I'm very happy with the feel of it, the look of it, and the performance of it.
Plus, while they tried hard with the aluminum casing to try and dissipate the heat, it just wasn't as good as it, and the video... Read More
It's kind of nice to be able to sit in my comfy chair in the living room while my wife is watching something i don't want to an... Read More
Competitiveness
Unlike the competitors alienware machines are able to utilize desktop class graphics cards via an external amplifier.
Upgrade options include up to 16gb of ddr4 memory at 2133 mhz (tested by dell) and an additional two m.
I feel the consumer has become the hostage of the manufacturer.

Now that i reread the specs the dvd player is simply omitted

It would have been more clear if it was listed and the value of none were in the specs

It has 2 video cards but not in the classic 34alienware34 way in which youve got 2 matched gpus in a crossfire or sli interface it instead has a nice nvidea gpu and an integrated pos intel display
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
There is no way to completely not use the intel chip and only use the nvidea card

I assume they did this to extend battery life but lets face it if youve got a 1734 alienware you didnt buy it to carry on a plane with you battery life is not really the reason for having this beast

There are drawbacks of having the intel chip at all the biggest of which seems to be that the hdmi port is dedicated to the intel chip so if im using an external hdmi display and i want to play a game which wants to use the nvidea gpu everything goes bonky and it doesnt work
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Ive since learned but havent tested that the thunderbolt output may be tied directly to the nvidea gpu so if i get an hdmi adapter for it i may be able to do it that way but since i dont have that adapter yet im annoyed that i cant use an external display
