THE LAPTOP IS PHENOMINAL. ESPECIALLY THE PART WHERE EVERY THING CAN BE UPGRADED IN THE HARDWARE. MAKES IT AN LONGTIME PURCHASE{FOR ME IT FEELS LIKE FOREVER.} THANK YOU FOR BUILDING SOMETHING THAT COOL. AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. IT TAKES A LOT TO SUSTAIN IN THE MARKET FOR SUCH LAPTOPS. AND TRUST ME YOU GUYS(DELL) ARE AT THE TOP. BE THERE ALWAYS!! JUST SCEPTICAL ABOUT ONE THING THOUGH; THERE ARE SO MANY VARIATIONS OF ALIENWARE COMING OUT THESE DAYS. WILL I STILL GET THE VARIATIONS OF HARDWARE FOR MY LAPTOP? LIKE THE OLD ALIENWARES THAT USED TO COME? I HOPE I DO. IT TAKES A MINIMUM OF 5 YEARS NORMALLY TO UPGRADE THE HARDWARE IN LAPTOPS OF SUCH SORTS. ALWAYS KEEP THE MOTIVATION YOU GUYS HAVE ALIVE AND BE AT THE TOP.!! CHEERS. :)

This Laptop has been critical to my livelihood and it has been nothing short of amazing. I have only added a 2Tb ssd NvMe and put 32 GB of ram in it. I will be defiantly be looking to Alienware in the future for my next laptop. P.S any vouchers you want to send my way towards a new machine or any swag like a hat or tshirt would always be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I would like to remove the hybrid drive and just use solid state because this laptop is way to heavy. Other than that it has really good graphics and is super fast and I love the lights

I was able to get the Alienware 17 r5 on sale so I am a little partial because of that, I had a really great experience with it however it had a few bumps in the road. At one point early on into my charger stopped working and I had to send it into dell to get it looked at. After that I had very little issues until the 2nd year owning the computer, I ran into an issue where the computer would be constantly blue screened. and the 3rd year I ran into an issue where the fan doesn't work on one side but tries to so the computer sounds like a helicopter about to take off. For the most part a great experience, I really drove the computer into the dirt.

It's speedy, it's slick, it's got a lot of options for customization. It's a bit bulky, but in the end I think it's still worth it.

Twice the storage capacity on the C: drive would have been a must. Should be advertise with the mention that you need a special kind of backpack to carry it. Reposition the numpad on the side so the keyboard can be place closer to the user. I am satisfied by everything else.

Its a good gaming laptop loads most things quickly, but It struggles run every game. Loading the game quick, able to get into a match quick. But FPS even when on lowest settings, struggles on FPS side of things.

This July 2022 I'll have had my Area 51M for 3 years. I bought the Alienware Aurora Star Wars Edition several years ago and loved it. My experience then was a major factor in this purchase. I haven't regretted buying this laptop once and would buy it again. Side Note: Anytime I've had a question or small issue Dell's customer service has assisted me at every turn. In the future when I want or need a new computer it will be an Alienware because of the quality of the product and my experience with customer service.

The hardware itself is amazing! Not a day has gone where I'm not glad I got the device. Unfortunately, the software glitches that can ruin the hardware can dim the joy out of it. The only negative I see, is the weight of the device! But considering when this device was available

CPU / GPU runs smooth. However, while the keyboard has a nice layout, it randomly repeats characters indefinitely for no reason (nothing has ever been spilled on it and do not jam at the buttons). So had to hook up "a second USB keyboard" to the R5 "to replace the built in one to stop the repeating." And simply adding a mouse uses up every USB slot on the laptop (and would have to get a hub to hook up anything else). The speaker sound range is good, however, the design causes it to start beating (or buzz) when it gets toward the lower and higher pitches (so I have to use a head set instead). That's why the R5 getting a 3 star because the basic design and components could just be better.

This laptop has Never failed me, no matter what I do. It is reliable and strong. However keep Windows 10, because I tried 11 and they were not completely compatible. I have sent a msg to Microsoft why I went back to Windows 11 for that reason. I love my laptop and will highly recommend Alienware to anybody and everybody.
