Frequently Asked Questions

What is the actual screen resolution and refresh rate? The title and bullet points seem to conflict.
The laptop has a 16-inch QHD+ display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels and a refresh rate of 240Hz, as specified in the detailed bullet points. The title's mention of 'FHD+ 480Hz' is inaccurate for this specific configuration.
What type of RAM is installed, and is it upgradeable?
This configuration comes with 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM soldered onto the motherboard at 7467MT/s. LPDDR5X memory is not user-upgradeable as it is integrated into the system's design.
Does this model have the optional mechanical keyboard, and what are its features?
Yes, it includes the ultra low-profile mechanical keyboard co-developed with Cherry. It features 1.8mm key travel, per-key AlienFX RGB lighting, and is rated for 15 million keystrokes with German-engineered stainless steel switches.
What are the exact video output capabilities of the USB-C and Thunderbolt ports?
The laptop has one USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port with DisplayPort support and one Thunderbolt 4 port with Power Delivery and DisplayPort. It also includes a full-sized HDMI 2.1 port for additional display connectivity.
Is the Wi-Fi 7 functionality active out of the box, or is it a future-ready feature?
The laptop is equipped with an Intel Killer 1750 wireless card that is Wi-Fi 7 ready. Full Wi-Fi 7 functionality will depend on the availability of compatible Wi-Fi 7 routers and networks, as the hardware supports the standard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good So Far!

I heard mixed reviews on this. I took a chance and it's only been 2 weeks, but so far so good. The Alienware software takes about 10 to 20 seconds to load when first opening it. after that 5-10. The back end got flack for being too big. But Who is really carrying around a 16 inch gaming laptop. Keys feel great. RGB is good. Keys are clear and not blinding like most RGB backlits. Design is good imo. feels premium. Cam is decent. Touch pad is smooth. Display is nice, all text is clear and colors are good. I heard many people complaining about the brightness levels. But in a dark room I actually turn the brightness down. And in my home with normal outdoor light coming in, I have no issues with the brightness. 2 usb 2 usb c, this is the only downside. in my opinion. I wish there was one more. I do like there are no cables coming from the sides. All ports in back. Cleaner desk look. will update if I have any issues.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy this laptop!!!

This laptop is a GIANT waste of money. It didn't last for 2 weeks before the system stopped charging itself and shut down. I had to return it without being able to remove my data. I am VERY disappointed with this product and purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good laptop

Delivery is ground so it is slow. The laptop is great and double boxed so porch pirates have no idea what it is.
