QUALITY & DESIGN

The grey metallic finishes of the top with the alienware logo inscribed gives the notebook a very futuristic appearance. The lights on top and front side of the laptop add to the appearance. The laptop has a very sturdy built. The laptop is a little thick but sleeker when compared to the previous models.

Noise:

The laptop doesn’t produce noise on the light usage but using graphically intensive games there is a considerable amount. This however would not be an issue with use of headphones.

Temperature:

With the monstrous specs that it holds there no surprise with the device heating up. On large amount of gaming the laptop does produce high temperature values but for light to normal usage not so much.

Weight:

The laptop has dimensions 16.93 x 11.49 x 1.35 inches and weighs 8.3 pounds which makes the laptop heavy to carry around easily.
