Alienware M17R5 Gaming Laptop - 17.3-inch FHD 480Hz Display, AMD Ryzen 9-6900HX, 32GB DDR5 RAM, 1TB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 GDDR6, Windows 11 Home, 1 Year Support - Dark Side of the Moon, Black

The 17.3-inch FHD display has a 480Hz refresh rate. This means the screen can update its image up to 480 times per second, which provides exceptionally smooth motion and reduced blur in fast-paced games, giving you a competitive edge in reaction times.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 in this laptop has 8GB of GDDR6X dedicated video memory. This VRAM is separate from the system's 32GB DDR5 RAM and is used specifically by the GPU for rendering high-resolution textures and complex game environments.

The laptop comes with 32GB of DDR5 RAM running at 4800MHz. It uses two 16GB modules (2x16GB). While the specifications don't explicitly state upgradeability, the dual-channel configuration suggests the RAM is likely accessible for potential upgrades, though you should consult Dell's service documentation for confirmed procedures.

You get three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports (one with PowerShare for charging devices) and one USB Type-C port. The Type-C port supports USB 3.2 Gen 2, 15W Power Delivery, and DisplayPort 1.4 for connecting an external monitor. There is no built-in HDMI or Ethernet port listed in the provided specifications.

The 1 Year Premium Support from Dell/Alienware typically includes 24/7 phone and online technical assistance, on-site service after remote diagnosis (where available), and coverage for hardware repairs. It goes beyond the standard limited hardware warranty by providing proactive support and faster resolution times.
