Pros & Cons
Pros
I get an average of 165 fps and the overall game feels so much cleaner and smoother now. A couple of alienware m18 specific functions did have slight hesitation and a little buggy at times. Hz display is important for a competitive gaming experience (... Read More
It comes with big sized screen and rbg keyboard. It is even bigger if you include the entire diagonal measurement of the laptop body, which is 20. Gpu @ 9. And ssd @ 271.

Compared to a desktop, it is more expensive, but much smaller in size.
165hz display is important for a competitive gaming experience (my son plays valeront competitively).
