Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

As far as deck flex, the alienware has a slight advantage over the lenovo desktop. It's not the fastest intel i7 but it doesn't need to be due to the gpu.

The keyboard is backlit, which can be changed to your favorite colors. Per-key rgb illumination allows you to customize the lighting to your liking.

Battery life is limited, but given the battery size and hardware it is powering that is expected. Program self adjusts to the capability of the hardware. Used by my son for 3d computer animation and graphics development.

Reviewer is a gamer and says this is a fantastic machine. I really wish the switched from discrete to onboard graphics during when your don't actually need lots of graphics horsepower.

All in all this laptop succeeds at its mission of being a great gaming laptop. It works great, even more than my expectation. And that's what it is, a beast!

Highlights

Quality

I am not a benchmark by any means but i will tell you that i am happy with this product.

The sound quality is pretty great and the performance is just outmatched compared to anything i've ever used!

This did not come with the mechanical keyboard that they started to release with the r4 that i read up on.

Well this laptop runs at 100c under load even with the fans in performance mode.

Price

Yes, the 3080 will perform even better but the cost ramps up as well.

Shipping

Was bought with a fair price and very satisfactory shipping.

Meaning that it is quite fast in general.

The cpu can certainly be a bottleneck if it is too slow but this one is fast.

Packaging/appearance

Keyboard:as i mentioned above, the keyboard includes per-key rgb illumination, allowing you to customize the lighting to your l... Read More

I don't use the 10-key and it causes the main part of the keyboard to be off center of the screen.

For a gaming laptop, it is reasonably thin, but it is a 17” laptop, and has the rear vent assembly protruding out beyond the sc... Read More

Competitiveness

I would give it at least a 3-year lifespan for those who upgrade frequently, and with that, the “bang for the buck” factor is pretty good.

Much of the competition does this to save battery.

It is not a highly portable device unless you are desperate to have a high-power pc on the go.

What a bummer because this system could massively benefit from some 3000mhz cl16 ram.
