Alienware 15 R3 AW15R3 Laptop with Quad-Core i7-6700HQ up to 3.50 GHz Turbo, 16GB DDR4, 128SSD + 1TB HDD, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX1060 6GB GDDR5 (Black)

Great Laptop, handles all of AAA games at the highest settings, nice customization with the lights, great build quality, and great display. The only downside is that it does get a little warm on the more demanding games after about a couple of hours. But the fans does its best to keep it cool despite all of this power crammed into this space and also the fans are kind of loud but I don't notice it after a while. The other downside I forgot is the battery is not that good for games but if you just browse the web it lasts a little longer.I would recommend this laptop to anyone looking for a good portable gaming setup.

This Alienware 15R3, is the best laptop I've ever seen in the past 5 years. This machine is a beast for a hard-core gamers. The RBG keyboard lighting, is astonishingly beautiful. The feel of typing is great, and responsive. The screen, OMG, it's looking superb. It's an IPS 1080 but it looks amazing, and the contrast is bright and super clear. The sound, I play this laptop in my room yet I can hear for the entire house. It's the BEST!Note: This review is based on my experience of having this laptop for more than 5 months of use. It is accurate and it is by far, non bias. I hope this helps some of you making a decision for this product.

Gets really hot. Like fry an egg on it. Software feels clunky. I have a bunch of errors with mine and I 100 % only use for gaming. No web browsing occasionally email. Absolute minimalist.Besides this I'm actually surprised. The laptop overall works well. I have heard so many bad things about alien ware but... Even with my problems this is a good computer

Oh man, where do I begin...Presentation and aestheticsThe laptop came in a very secure box. Of course, branded with the Alienware logo everywhere. The laptop is also somewhat heavy. I'm used to Lenovo business notebooks so my opinion may be a bit irrelevant on this point but this is heavier than the average business-style Lenovo. Aside from that, it looks just like the pictures.The Alienware logo on top of the case glows blue. There are LED strips on both sides of the laptop that glow blue, both on the sides of the screen and the base of the machine. The keyboard has blue backlit LED lighting and the power button, another Alienware logo, can change color depending on how the battery is doing. Lastly, the Alienware logo just below the screen is, you guessed it, blue.The laptop didn't come with any imperfections in the case or the screen. Everything was pristine. 5/5The HardwareOf course, the hardware was as promised in the ad. I'm a pro with desktops, not laptops. So I'm not cracking this baby open. So far, I haven't had any specifically hardware related problems.The SoftwareThis is where the bulk of my gripes lie. As one would expect, the machine comes populated with a host of Alienware software. However, it's not as much nor is it as intrusive as you'd expect from other popular brands. Regardless, I took it upon myself to reformat. This is when I discovered that I apparently didn't read the whole ad - THIS MACHINE HAS NO OPTICAL DRIVE. (This is not why I subtracted a star).After a fresh Windows 10 install, I realized that the problem I had prior was still occurring - There are momentary system hangs. These don't seem to follow a pattern or a set interval. For instance, clicking on File Explorer can SOMETIMES produce a 0.5-ish second system hang. This also happens while gaming, which is kinda annoying.So far, I have found no solution to the system hang problem. I've updated the BIOS, tinkered with a few settings, disabled certain services, defrag'd, checked temperatures, and I still get this. I'm not sure if this is normal for Alienware laptops since Google seems to suggest it's not very common.The BatteryI have no complaints about this. Gaming on a full charge (FF14, Eve Online, Path of Exile, etc) can last me a few hours. I'm never really in the position where I'm not able to plug in when needed and I usually always have the charger on me so this isn't exactly a problem.Other ThingsBuy a USB Optical drive, a mouse, and definitely buy a cooling pad.OVERALL:I'm pleased with everything except the system hang problems. It doesn't last long but I'm sure we all know how much of a difference 0.5s can make while gaming.

I bought this laptop recently as a friend recommended me and when I used it, it was all good and wonderful. But I noticed that one of the USB port didn't work. Had to send it to the Dell repair centre. I came to know that my laptop was a refurbished one, but I paid money for a new. After the repair now the speakers don't work, make distorted irritating sound, the WiFi keeps disconnecting on it. I am so done with this.DONT BUY ANY ELECTRONICS FROM DURU ELECTRONICS. They will rip you off. I don't know why Amazon allowed such bs sellers to sell the product. Go to Dell website and buy it.

I have had this machine for about two weeks now, today I closed the computer to leave and when I came home it would not turn on and the Alienware logo was flickering red and blue. I don't recommend this product, but for the while I had it everything ran amazingly, so it might just be a hardware failure in my model. I'm sorry to say I will be returning this bueatiful machine and not buying from Alienware again.
