It's only been 1 week since I am using it. Used it for gaming only till now. No issues while playing games. I faced few BSOD issues while updating the machine drivers and also the command center.
GPU temperature have peaked to 80/85 Celsius. Not using any external cooler.
All in all seems like I got a good deal.
Will review it again after 3-4 months.

I enjoyed the product functions fine my only problem was that I wasn’t given a charger for it. Nor did they accommodate one so essentially I didn’t get the best price with having to buy a 100 dollar charger other then that good condition.

Despite being a laptop, it is still a power house for what it can do. Most games on max settings. And it's mobile, so you can take this wherever you want.

That this product is still available for purchase is disgusting. There is a serious and dangerous flaw with this laptop. Not to mention absolute trash wifi card and wifi abikity to download a game on steam deck. The M16 R1 ryzen 9 rtx 4080 diaster black screened while downloading battlefield V huffin' and puffin' for over 6 hrs until mission complete blackscreen failure! Be careful with this possible fire hazard! It's half baked melting dumpster fire igniter! DO NOT BUY!!!! PLEASE HAVE THIS DELL DISASTER TAKEN OFF THE BEST BUY PRODUCT LIST.

DELL WONT HONOR MANUFACTURER WARRANTY VIA BEST BUY

DELL WILL NOT HONOR MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY FOR RETURNS IF YOU BUY VIA BEST BUY!!! This is a warning to any future Dell/Alienware purchasers. Avoid purchasing this or any Dell/Alienware products via Best Buy if you do not plan on buying extended coverage. Dell and Best Buy do not make this known and I have learned the hard way. I purchased this laptop twice (M16 R1) and they have both have given me blue debug screens within the first 2-3 weeks. Please learn from my mistakes, AVOID THIS COMPUTER AT ALL COST, NO MATTER HOW GOOD THE SALE AVOID IT.

Laptop was extremely laggy right out of box. No matter how settings were changed, if the laptop was plugged in, or internet, random lag spikes and jittery fps on most games. Couldn’t even run modded Minecraft on low settings that someone else was playing right beside me could run on high with a “worst” laptop.

I have gone through 3 of these models returning and getting new ones every time. Every time it lasts around a day or two but after updating drivers and installing software for my work it BSODs. Issues with voltage management. A refund would still be a net negative given the hassle and possible missed opportunities while attempting to make this product work.
No OC or tinkering was attempted with these models, all drivers installed through included management software and all software installed on laptop were industry recognized products for 3D modeling and game development

I had only been using it for a few days when it exploded. The whole computer was smoking and couldn't start up. They didn't come to repair it as promised. If I took it to the store in person, I had to pay.
