very detailed review, you deserve more support and views

I’ve had my m16 R2 for about two weeks and love it. I play games like CSG, Valheim, GTA, and others and have no issues with it at all

[MrTigger]

Best Buy had this laptop on sale for $1299.00 what a steal, picked mine up and love it

[dewinter]

Had this laptop for about two weeks now. Got the 32gb RAM and Core Ultra 9 options. It’s a beast of a machine. Playing games at high to ultra settings at 2560x1600 and getting over 100fps in all but the most demanding games. A huge step up from my Steam Deck for sure. I’m very happy with what Alienware put together with this one. Definitely recommend it.

I just bought this laptop a few days ago. Oddly enough I never remember seeing an add for it and now it's everywhere... ads for things you already own... I overall like it. The Keyboard is great. No Num pad... so the keyboard and mouse pad are centered. Seriously laptop makers... who needs a built in numpad on a laptop? You can buy a standalone wireless numpad to put beside the laptop if you really need one. The screen is nice. Overall very balanced. Being Alienware it's slightly overpriced. I like the weight and how solid it feels. I am not a fan of thin and light... that's called a tablet.

I bought one new (4070GPU, Ultra 7, 32GB RAM) from BestBuy a week ago for $1300.00 and love it. Thing is I also have the ROG G14 2024 (4070GPU, 32GB RAM) which was bought for 2K. I love the look and feel of the ROG and the speakers are nothing less than wonderful but for an extra $600.00 compared to my Alienware I may just return the ROG. Its hard to return it but honestly the Alienware is great as well. I enjoy the rubbery feel of the palm rest and the bigger 240hz 16 inch display is nice for someone like me with glasses. The speakers on here are passable and this laptop has more room for upgrades.

I've had it for two months. It broke down. It was only light used for work. One day just wouldn't turn on. I got 2 red and 8 blue lights and that was it. I returned it and got refund didn't opt for new one after the ordeal.
But as far as looks goes it was beautiful, abit loud but really small.

[stevens]

I think its a great redesign from Alienware. Much easier to access key internals without doing too much work. My only hope: a higher end screen (more brightness) in the next product refresh.

[Serenityindailylife]

I bought the ultra 9 version with the 4070. I also ordered an extra WD Black 4TB SSD and 64GB of RAM. It's not here yet but I hope it is able to do better. I play Cyberpunk, Helldivers 2, and AC: Valhalla a lot (I know, they're old) I am replacing an 8-month-old Dell XPS that didn't do well with gaming but it does well for my Law School homework.

[dmmchugh]

I don't find any other options for 64gb ram at under $2500. This one fits the bill. I'm planning to order the model with Intel 9, 64gb ram, and 4070.
I'm not using for gaming, but for some business apps.
Is this laptop suitable for regular desktop use ?
Why do other reviews say the screen is dark ? Is this a problem?
Thanks for an update.

[Lilhooddreamer]

I just got one for free from winning a contest its nice so far cant wait to push it with cyberpunk lol

[strawberry]

But its screen brightness is too low for me, so I chose to buy Legion

[ibrahimasad]

I'm considering getting it but my only concern is overheating. Does anyone have overheating problems on this laptop?

[Darkhorse]

Hey I’m looking at getting a gaming laptop I got $1000 to spend what do you recommend

[PapiD]

There’s a sale where I can save $550. Should I get it?!

[vrk]

I just returned my laptop yesterday because the service was very bad(bought at official website, I loved the laptop very much but that's how it ended 😢

[brianrenteria]

This is the best laptop I ever owned. I will be upgrading the ram to 64gb. Battery is amazing. I had an old Asus strix and it was great but now I will keep buying Alienware! #Dell

[dennismunyaka]

well I am looking for a laptop that can handle large tasks not games hence why I am here. mac books are very pricey and fancy looking dell laptops are also very pricey this looks good and in essence is better compared to performance and at a cheaper price.

[Jamsion]

Actually the meteor lake CPU isn’t suitable for the gaming laptop, Alienware is gaming laptop.Literally the Core 14th is more suitable 😅

[kennysponto]

Alienware command center sucks not even ok...
