Too hot

I think it too hot when I use the apps or programs. If my laptop is cool when I run the small programs and normal hot during running the large files It might be great. Thank you.

Superb

I like the way the system is working. But one disadvantage is some times the Alienware command centre is having certain problems. Otherwise this is working very well.

Needs Work

The Alienware Support Assist software is cool but lacks stability. During scans, it downloads the updates but has trouble installing them after. Its happened several times.

Runs too hot always

It would be nice for this laptop to have like an "office mode" so it will work with half the power cause the heat is too much when doing office work, and the energy consumption is too high. I Know is a gaming laptop but when doing web and office work it needs a mode with less power consumption and heat.

The best gaming device I have ever owned!

The Alienware M15 r3 2070 super is the best gaming device I have ever owned! This device far exceeded my expectations on what was possible in video games and has actually made me love pc gaming more than console gaming. I was strictly a PlayStation gamer until I got ahold of this laptop, Now I play my favorite game (final fantasy xiv) exclusively on the M15 R3. I don't think I can ever go back to consoles and I think Alienware has found a life long customer.

Had an issue within 30 minutes of opening box but was resolved by onsite service within 3 days

Took 102 days to receive my new Alienware m15 R3 from DELL. Ordered on August 12th and received November 22nd. Within 30 minutes of opening box the fan under power button for GPU was making a noise. Apparently a piece of tape or plastic had come loose from under the keyboard and was rubbing against the fan. Tech arrived with a new heatsink and installed. He also repasted the CPU and GPU. He said he reapplied the loose tape or plastic that came loose from under the keyboard that was interfering with the fan and since he received the heatsink he might as well replace it. My temps are actually about 7 degrees lower since the repaste.

Thermals

I cannot understand why the thermals are so high... the fans are decreasing their power when I start a game... do you have a solution about it ?

An amazing piece of equipment .I am very satisfied with this purchase . The one glaring issue I have faced with this PC is the AWCC, please rectify the issues faced while it updates and reinstalls.

The computer took around 6 months to get here with around three months of delays, but it is still exactly what I hoped.

Poor battery and few issues., excellent performance

My experience for the past few days have been great. The performance of the computer is what it says on the internet and I got what I paid for. Although when I purchased the product, there was a CPU failure so we had to exchange it for another one for free. Plus the software like the Alienware Command Center wasn't working for a few days until I found a fix online. Overall, I really like this computer so I probably won't change for a few years.

Hot! CPU Usage Fluctuates for No Reason

Brand new laptop just for gaming. Gets hot and CPU usage sometimes fluctuates massively for no reason even during first week of very careful, low to moderate usage. Gaming performance ok but temperatures are an issue - should have come with a free robust cooling pad. Liked its compact size and lighter weight, but expected higher in terms of temperature and CPU performance in terms of unexplained fluctuations for the latter.

Excellent computer

This computer is amazing! This is my first gaming laptop and so far so good. Fans run pretty loud but I'm normally wearing headphones so I don't mind. Can't wait to travel the world and still be able to game! Thank you Alienware!

Perfect for everyone's needs

I've been looking for a platform that fits in my gaming and development experience. With that in mind, the m15 R3 came for me as a doubt because my previous notebooks overheated, so I`ve moved to desktop and so go on. But this notebook changed my mind so hard, with rts and all software's supports and other features. I`m really happy with this acquisition.

Awesome Laptop!

This is better than I expected. The setup of the new laptop was quick and easy. The performance is outstanding. I selected the 4k screen and the graphics and colors are outstanding. With the awesome sound build in it also works well to watch a movie when traveling. I am very glad I went with this one!
