Pros & Cons
Pros
The i5 is the best mechanical keyboard i've tried on a laptop. The keyboard is per key and nicely customizable. It has a satisfying click and you know when you have depressed the key.
The speed of this computer is epic. It works perfectly, had plenty of ram and storage for games, and runs them all flawlessly. Really liking this computer so far. I believe this laptop will be good to handle games for the next 5 years easily.
I'm happy to say it hasn't disappointed in terms of performance. Thirdly, for the performance. It's impressive from the start.
Cons
The laptop is superb but when i received it one of the cherry mx keys was broken. They say there aren't any parts yet to repair it and they have to replace the whole keyboard. I have a black monitor and the laptop will not boot at all.
Highlights
Quality
All-in-all i really struggled to plunk down the huge $$$ of this setup but at this point i am beyond happy with the value.
The fans/cooling system is outstanding and i'm really pleased with the performance.
I suspect this is a flaw with the geforce drivers or chrome itself, not with the machinery.

Price
Price wise you are paying for the name on the back.
I can't believe that a laptop with this price doesn't have at least that.
Shipping
Beautiful, fast and is unscathed by the shipping containers deplorable condition.
I love this laptop it is fast, and graphics are amazing.

Everything starts jittering really badly, and i start getting some really banding across the screen.
I do recommend changing out the thermal paste.
Competitiveness
Upgraded from an acer nitro 5 with a 1050ti 60hz screen and wow, its like a whole new experience!
Responsive, just the right level of clicky, and not lights up very well.
Idk for me on a 15in laptop screen gaming on ultra, you will not see a difference between 1080p and 1440p.
The screen's native resolution is 2560x1440 with a refresh rate of 240hz.

This review was for the alienware m15 r6

For this price point we should get the slim sleeker form factor
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
However i was running into frequent crashes at the start until i deleted the alienware command center and other associated software not sure which one was the culprit probably the command center and it stopped crashing completely
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
For the regular use that i do i rarely ever hear the fans i hear them when it updates
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
If you want to have the command center installed which lets you control alienware specific features you might be really annoyed with this and by now maybe they fixed it idk
