Alienware AW15R2-4624SLV 15.6 Inch Laptop (Intel Core i5, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD + 256 GB SSD, Epic Silver) NVIDIA GTX 965M

So after about two years of use. The laptop would freeze up every so often from day one. No one could tell me why. They blamed it on my steam program. Well today I decided to pull the back off to check the cpu because the sticker says Core i7 witch should be compatible with windows 11 but it keeps telling me it’s not that’s because it has an i5 processor not an i7 like it says but the best part was finding a Toshiba drive in my Dell Laptop. Makes me think that’s the reason for the random freezing. Paid almost a 1000.00 for a computer and it works for a gaming fine set up but disappointing it’s not what it was supposed to be. I’m not a IT tech just a dude who was looking for a good deal on a gaming laptop and now I can’t upgrade to windows 11 so the computer will no longer get updates after October. My bad should have done my homework better.

Awesome gaming laptop! Exactly as described! My son was very happy with it and loves all the functionality! Great purchase!

Awful. IT has been in the shop 3 times and this last time it has never worked right. IT has not worked for most of the year. I called this last time on Dec 4, it was not working. Sent it immediately in but now it is 4 days past warranty. and they are making me pay for an extension. RIDICULOUS

Probably I could have bought a better spec machine for the money I spent in this Alienware machine, but I priorized build quality and cooling. And for I can say, I wasn't wrong with this. The construction quality is fabulous, the plastics are good and they look solid. The cooling is amazing, almost everytime working with passive cooling or low rpm, no noise, no high temps, confortable use for my hands. I bought the basic model with the i5, 8GB RAM and the GTX 965 and it performs AMAZING. I wasn't expecting this kind of power from this specs. I can run EVERY game on high settings with decent FPS and the Quad Core runs great while rendering. The keyboard and the touchpad are INCREDIBLE. Best I've used by far. Really big touchpad and a nice travelling keyboard. Also, the laptop is ridiculously good looking, everybody will get close to take a look of the tron-like machine. At last, the battery...OMG. I've been 8 hours working without needing to connect it with 40% bright and power saver mode, working with music on background. The cons for me are clearly: -The screen: It's OK if you're everytime in closed rooms, but if you need to use your laptop for ANYTHING outside, you will not be able to, cause the bright is TOO LOW. -Dell BIOS Updates: This is really bad, completely sad. Dell just launched some BIOS updates that literally make the laptop unusable. They posted a fix for this like 2 MONTHS after they released the BIOS update. I solved it by myself, but a lot of people didn't, and that's Dell fault. Again, this is ridiculous in a machine with this price and from a brand like Alienware. -The AC adapter size: It's really big. I mean, you could need an extra pocket in your backpack for it.

This laptop is awesome - when it works. Had problems from the beginning with slow start-up, then at 6 months old, it stopped working. It's still under warranty so calling Dell but what a disappointment.

It is a lot more bulky and sluggish than it needs to be. A lot of IT people I have talked to always seemed to think Alienware was nothing special. When I saw it on sale though I figured i'd give it a try. Even after performing a fresh install with all the latest drivers it just seemed slow. It would get pretty hot as well and while it worked I was just overall not very impressed. I liked that it had HD resolution and a backlit keyboard and the graphic performance was decent but overall I was left feeling somewhat disillusioned. I sold it some months after purchasing it and instead bought an HP ENVY 13-d040nr laptop. I got it at an amazingly low price, new. After doing a BIOS update on that and a fresh install I have been very happy with it. It might not have the graphic performance of the Alienware but overall it feels much faster. I am so happy I made the switch and I think I even came out ahead - cost wise. I also wrote a review about that laptop. Would I buy the envy again? YES. Would I buy an alienware again? NO - as you pay a premium for a hot bulky brick with average performance.

I love this laptop it can run nearly every game I have thrown at it so far even on medium to the lowest graphics settings for the majority of games made in 2018 and onwards from there! I was told my laptop WILL NOT run Cyberpunk 2077 at all since the graphics are so extreme on that game, but I am glad I own a console which I can play that game on instead if my current Alienware 15 laptop will not run it! I have not had any problems with the battery or with the motherboard in my laptop unlike a lot of other customers that have bought this same computer.... I also bought a KLIM cooling pad to use with this laptop, and I have to say that is the best accessory you can buy because after you do than you will barely hear the laptop fans come on anymore if at all even during the most demanding games you are playing on it!

Works very well for used laptop. Well worth the price. Good seller and will buy from them again
