3.0 out of 5 stars 2021 but 2020
By WANA International
This model is a bit misleading. I don't blame the seller for this. Be aware, this is a 2020 model, but with upgraded processor and battery from the factory and manufactured in 2021 still with the factory seal on the box. That's right, same flimsy chassis as last year, just with some of the better components like the battery and main chip. It requires the barrel charger, and doesn't have two Thunderbolt 4 ports, just a single USB-C. Call it a transitional model. It's not worth paying a premium for over that of a true 2021 model. While I feel duped, it's not terrible enough to send back either, again not the sellers fault, more LG's for having two 2021 models and not differentiating between the two so we the consumer understand that. The seller was super fast and I can't ask a whole lot more from them, they get an A++ from me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a touch screen
By Dennis
Fast and good battery life. I bought for photo editing and the large screen helps. I am disappointed that this is not a touch screen. This information was not listed in the description or remarks that I read.On start up there were 3 keys that did not work on the keyboard. The third time I restarted the computer and they worked. I did contact LG support and they were very helpful.Overall I am very Satisfied with the computer.

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.
