Ive had this laptop for two months now and I can honestly say that its worth the money. There are, however, a few things to note that will need to be addressed if you want to use it for very much serious work. Firstly, this laptop comes with an M.2 harddrive, which is very good, but its only 512mb. An additional harddrive is almost necessary and, although it does come with a second slot, I opted for an external 4TB SSD. That basically solves storage issues for a good while. Secondly, This only comes with a single 8GB RAM card but does have a second slot. I havent added another card yet but I have seen instances where it would improve performance. This laptop is currently my workhorse and downtime toy. Ive seen very few hiccups using it for music production, recording, live sound and gaming. Once you address the underwhelming storage issue you can work pretty well with it but a RAM upgrade should be in your future as well. Games these days not only have 80+GB download files but pull considerable amounts of RAM, as do DAWs. Overall, this is a fantastic little beast for the money and with just a few minor upgrades it can do everything short of engineering 3D models. Im certainly glad that I bought this for my work and play!

I used to own an Alienware 15 m3 in 2018. I sent it for screen replacement twice within the first year. This m15s Windows key broke (internally not structurally, reset PC didnt fix it) within the first week! Seriously wtf! The laptop can handle any game at 1080p. The base battery lasts around 4 hours wifi + battery saver power plan. However, I dont care because the QC is so shit. Think about it, what are the odds of getting two defective laptops in a row? Moreover, the warranty is only a year. You are screwed if defect happened after a year. This is a nightmare.

This computer is fascinating, it works really fast and provides great pictures, it takes time to get it set up though

Good laptop overall, have not had a chance to fully run it through the wringer yet. Looks like it came without the heat sink for either one of the M.2 SSDs and the second slot doesnt even have a screw I can use to mount the drive, I had to buy one. Is there a thermal heat sink that can be used with this/should have been there?

The Software is nice, but the Hardware is Fully Chinese even Rams from SKhynix China, not even Korean ! Also the Plastic of the Laptop is so weak I recommend you chose another type of Alienware !
