QuestionWhat is the wireless card, Killer 1435 or 1535? And about the RAM, I'm pretty sure this can use 2666 MHz cards, is this correct? 128GB SSD isn't as much as I'd like, so can I add another SSD for the OS? Windows 10 will take almost all of the 128GB.
Asked 8 years ago by Jabeezala.
- Answer Wireless card will be the Killer 1435. Ram is DDR4 at 2400MHZ but any DDR4 ram will work, yes 2667 will work. You can add another SSD or swap it out. This computer has 2 full size M.2 slots and one half height M.2 along with 1 full sized 2.5 drive bay, so 4 different slots for storage.

QuestionDoes this model of this laptop, FROM BEST BUY, have a numeric keypad? The specs on this site and the image both agree that there isn't one. But prior answers for this question say otherwise. Dell's site shows it does, in any configuration. Which is it?
Asked 7 years ago by Amanda.
- Answer It does have a numeric keypad, but its useful only if the laptop works. I highly recommend staying away from dell. They have extremely poor quality and customer service.

QuestionHi. I want to know more exactly about the M.2, If I'm not wrong by default its comes with M.2 SSD 128GB drive. I saw the other answers, there it says that it have another M.2 and half M.2 slot. My Question is, Is one of them NVMe M.2 PCI-e x4 ?
Asked 8 years ago by Jermaya.
- Answer I believe they are all Pcie x4 slots. The included SSD runs in SATA mode. You can replace it with an M.2 Pcie SSD which will run much faster. There is also an additional 2280 size M.2 slot and a half height slot. Not sure what one can do with the smaller slot. I added a Pcie SSD to the second slot and cloned the stock SSD to it so it's now my OS drive. I kept the original SSD for my User files (documents, pictures, videos, music, downloads)

QuestionI was looking at gaming laptops and for the specs (screen size + 1070) and have 3 questions...Is this laptop worth it for gaming and VR, any reason why on clearance, and is Alienware that bad or is it that good?

I don't know about the spec but I myself have not had an issue with clarity or screen size. I assuming that this item is on clearance because alien ware is coming out with a new version.

Asked 7 years ago by Slim.
