Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The alienware m1 is sleek and cool. The keyboard is the best laptop keyboard i've ever typed on. The track pad is just the right size so the palm of your hand does not hit it while mousing around. The rear of the laptop has a usb c, usb a, hdmi, and l... Read More

The screen is qhd (2560x1440) and at 240hz its buttery smooth. The 240 hz makes it very responsive, this is a big step up from my old acer nitro 5. I hate to say i'm not a gamer, i'm a workaholic who needed a new laptop that was fast and powerful.

With the specs this thing totes i have enjoyed using this over the last few weeks. This is an easy recommendation if you're in the market for a powerhouse gaming laptop. It's on the heavy side but it packs a lot of punch.

I travel a lot for work and needed something that could heavily multi-task while also providing bar none gaming on the go. This does all that without a hitch. Dell has terrific customer service.

Cons

When i shipped it back, it's just over 12 lbs altogether. Alienware is overrated and overpriced.

Highlights

Quality

Great performance and capability, display is awesome, runs hot and fan is loud and constant, that is my only complaint

The cooling system works exceptionally well, keeping the laptop's temperatures in check even during intense gaming sessions.

For gaming it has an rtx 3070 ti which handles any triple a title i throw at it, just finished up god of war on ultra in1440p w... Read More

It gets a bad rep for what seems like multiple reasons that realistically boiler down to a few key factors.

Price

It's worth every penny, and i couldn't be happier with my purchase.

If you can afford it, go for it!

But i personally find this a great choice for the money and the amount of technology you get.

In conclusion i will mention the price.

Shipping

Was packed carefully and shipped on time, no damage to box or computer.

First they tell me they don't want me to return the package then a month later they want me to before my refund can be processed.

Packaging/appearance

Yes the fans can be a little noisy at times, but that's what you can expect from something packing this much power into a laptop.

Competitiveness

The amd cpu outperforms 11900 i9 (non-oc) desktop cpus and the 4080 mobile gpu outperforms 4070 desktops gpus.

This is with the rtx 3070ti and amd ryzen 9 6900 hx version with 32 gig ram.
