Pros & Cons
Pros
Great computer for a beginner gamer. It gets really hot while gaming around 82 degrees celsius. What i like about it is it pretty much stops using cpu and only uses the gpu while gaming.
The keypad fits the fingers well and is easy to keep all fingers inline. My pinky finger is not the most accrete so having a triple size key makes it easy to rocket my pinky up to the backspace to delete that wrong character.
All the ports are on the back, so depending on your setup, thats either good or annoying. Devices connect easy enough. I really really wish they put at least 1 usb-c port on the side. It's like making windows, but make it mac.

Price
Highly recommend it especially that the price is way better than stores or other online stores.
For the price i paid, im happy but i doubt i'd pay full price.
Packaging/appearance
Others might like keeping everything to the back and out of the way.
The charger does get hot but i have no need to touch it unless i’m just moving it around to get it out of the way.
Competitiveness
All the games have been running well over 60fps, ultra settings, at 1080p.
I play most everything in ultra and consistently hit 60fps plus, if you’re a competitive gamer i would think medium settings wo... Read More
If you are in the market for a high-end gaming laptop, and can afford it, than this alienware product is for you.
For the fun of it i tried vmware with an ubuntu desktop and was happy to see it had the power to have no issue letting me watch... Read More

It’s important to note it’s got the 150w gpu which is good power for this chip but almost always runs 70c or below
