Dave2D review of the 2018 Alienware 17 R5. The best gaming laptop that Alienware makes. Overclocked 8950HK + GTX 1080
AW17 – https://amzn.to/2LugtJX
With the 5GHz i7-8950HK CPU, 32 GB RAM and an overclocked GTX 1080 running 8GB GDDRX5, the new Alienware 17 R5 is a monster performer. It is pretty heavy though at 4.4 kg (42.4cm x 33.2cm x 29.9mm). If you’re looking for the ultimate gaming laptop from a reliable company with strong performance and excellent build quality, the AW17 delivers.

It's crazy that this thing competes with a desktop 8700K in performance. Thanks for watching!
It really sucks bro as you cannot upgrade memory from 32Gb to 64GB. Although the system recognizes the memory but the bios on it does not allow to boot into OS when you upgrade memory to 64GB, Alienware bios has an issue but their support does not want to fix it, I purchased mine 4.5k last year but so disappointed of not about to upgrade memory to 64GB
I bought the Core i7(8th Gen) setup of this laptop for use at my job. It's got great performance, but the extra keys on the left take a little getting used to. I keep pressing Key 5 instead of ctrl LOL – Anyway, the great thing is I can upgrade to a Corei9 should I decide, and also upgrade the RAM and 2nd hard drive….so it should last several years. Expensive investment but has paid for itself many times over with the work it's helped me do.
I have this and its amazing currently watching on it! one problem is the battery but I already expected that from a laptop as powerful as this so eh
Trust me guys this laptop is way cheaper is U.S nothing compared to what their selling outside use soooooo overpriced
U.S :1500
Kuwait :2500
So this should be able to run Hello Kitty Adventure Island?

Best laptop design ever
They're pieces of shit. Make sure you have a good protection plan and are ready to fix fans and stuff
NO ONE BUY THIS LAPTOP. GET COMPUTER PARTS AND LOOK AT TUTORIALS IN YOUTUBE PLEASE
Can I use the USB-C port in the back to connect to USB-C port in external monitor? Great vid
Didn’t even mention the thunderbolt…
It's motherboard damaged within a year and i still regret buying this shit. GO for ASUS rog instead. Alienware 17 R5 have fan issue (cheap quality less durable fan), battery issue (it won't last even 8-9 month , it will swollen ) , too much heavy and buying desktop are almost same as buying this only difference is desktop offer much durability then this shit. Stop making paid promotional video Dave Lee , i bought that seeing your review from YouTube.
Lol this guy keeps recommending these decked out PCs for Video editing and photo browsing.. i'm just tired of hearing that
Love the review however we are curious, what camera are u using for recording this video mate?

How can i control the lighting of this laptop?
i have this laptop i like it its my first ever gaming laptop
Alienware was so good back then. Now they basically just releasing piece of gimmicky junks.
could you just get this laptop and hook it up to hdmi and use a monitor with key and mouse to basically make it into a pc?
I have it. Has worked great. Unfortunately the keyboard has begun to fail. Just a few stopped working right now. It's about 3 years old. Any recommendations?
