Great Speed a major flaw!
By Michael Jude Kelsey
I have owned this laptop for about 8 months at this point. Let me tell you that is by far the fastest laptop I have ever used. It handles most games with ease at full graphics.That being said there is a major flaw with this laptop. Within 2 months of owning the laptop, the keys started popping off. Dell does have a picture tutorial on how to put this keys back on, but if you follow the tutorial it will often lead to adjacent keys popping off. And if you push too hard when trying to get the keys to latch, then you are out of luck. Luckily my first experience with Alienware customer service ended in a keyboard replacement in less than 2 days from calling tech support. However when it started happening again tech support was not that helpful. I was told I would need to purchase a replacement keyboard for $110! The laptop is under warranty for 4 more months. I was even considering extending the warranty.My suggestion is to use the built in keyboard as little as possible. I use a logitech keyboard now, my biggest issue is now the laptop does not really travel easily anymore.

Great Laptop
By Joe
Just received the laptop a week ago, however will be returning it due to a newer version of this laptop just being released (with GTX660M and additional 2GB of RAM for similar price). I must say I am highly impressed with the machine. I would not be returning this if the newer model was not released. The machine is quick and powerful and battery life is surprisingly good for a gaming laptop (got about 3 1/2 hours battery life without gaming, which would probably get better once the battery was broken in). It allows you to convert to integrated graphics instead of dedicated which also increases battery life. Another cool feature allows you to change the backlight keys (in sections) on the keyboard. If this was only $700 or $800 I would probably not bother returning for the newer version, however considering this is almost $1,500, I would like to have the newest model (considering it is less than $100 more for the newer model). Thanks to Amazon and their kind and helpful support team for allowing me to return the product!

I just wanna say this laptop is really good. I have it for more than two months and there is not any issue with it at all. Diablo 3 runs smoothly on this machine and all of my friends around admiring my Alienware.
