5.0 out of 5 stars Solid laptop for media use. Great features for 2025 and money worth it for the power that you get.
By Ensuel
Delivers everything that is promised. The screen is a good quality. Handles well all the Adobe Packages that I use. Great, multi-tasking. Its a bit heavy for everyday transportation, but reasonable for the power that is packed on it and I use a troller bag but something to know if you take it in a backpack. Battery is another important thing for me. I can easily get 3.5h for small browsing or emails work so that is really helpful. Build in SD Card reader is perfect since I am a photographer, I do daily transfers. 2 USB C and 2 Regular USB I think its enough for any common use.So far so good. I am happy with this product. Competes well with my previous Mac Pro 4 that I had but I wasn't able to adopt their system so I needed a powerful windows. Unfortunately I am not a gamer so I can provide any gaming feedback but my friends told me that 240 HZ is a great future if I ever play and the 2K screen is very sharp.I like the face recognition option and the opportunity to manually block the camera with a physical build in latch.The only disadvantage or thing that I don't like about it is that it doesn't show a pulsing light or some signal while charging so a lot of time I am wondering if its charging or not lol. Maybe its there and I haven't figured out yet.

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.
