Purchases made from store links may give me some money.
(It doesn’t cost you extra, so please buy everything)
Am I the only who watches this on repeat to validate my purchase?
Tony Chinh yup im thinking of buying next month
weed man go to Costco man! 1300 for 256 gb ssd and the 1060!
Tony Chinh i was thinking of getting the one with a 1070 but i see alot of people saying it has thermal problem
Tony Chinh when you get yours can you keep me updated
weed man sure will bro!
haha you're watching that intense lizard escape from snakes BBC clip 1:51
its already rated as the best video of all time
+Esteban Lopez by whom?
snakes are mean
That was a nightmare. Like a really bad dream.
vanitas ventus i watched that at school lol
The AW 15 was one of my favorite laptops last year. I love the new thinner design - Especially those lights on the side. Anyone thinking of picking this up?
Hi Dave, nice video! Would this be able to steal the place of your main editing machine, even with the flaws? Or the Mac prevails?
maybe one day :"D
Dave Lee always waiting for your reviews .
already have it and i love absolutely love it
Still too expensive for my tastes I would much rather game on a normal desktop since the battery although bigger is not enough to be useful for anyone trying to game on the go (not to mention how cumbersome it must be to take around with you everywhere).
imagine if they take those light strips, use the body of a xps 15 with a 1080p infinity edge display, the amazing rgb trackpad, and is classified as maybe an alienware light laptop edition with a 1050ti. no? just me?
I'm pretty sure you could get away with a 1060... And it'd be the Razer Blade 14 killer... xD
Diego De León I'm pretty sure he wants a cheaper laptop
Diego De León 1060 is just a bit too much tbh. also yes cheaper laptop is a good starting point for me. not too mention the 1060 is way too hot while the 1050 ti would be quieter and play most games great at full HD. and the xps 15 I mentioned would be great if they kept all the old ports but added the alienware proprietary port for the graphics adapter so it'd be mostly future proof. it's ok alienware I have until the end of January to save up for it.
Exactly what i was looking for. the XPS chassis looks the best of any laptop i think. Only the graphics amp port would be more than enough for such a laptop though. because external gpu with thunderbolt seems a bit odd right now i guess with only product being a razer.
i will buy that for sure.
Seriously,with this production quality you deserve more view and subscriber
Congrats on 300k Dave. Onwards and upwards!
Short and good video. Filled with the key points. Great work. Thanks man.
Greetings from Germany
Just a heads up, the 15 R3 i7-6700HQ / 1060 GTX model is prone to overheating. This was a prevalent issue in October/November/December of 2016. Alienware seemed to acknowledge the issue and claims to have fixed it for models produced after December 6th, 2016.
I just got my 15 R3 on January 13th, 2017, and right out of the box I was experiencing 100 degree temps across at least three cores. The overheating issue seems to STILL be relevant. People say repasting the heat sink with liquid metal will net average temps up to 25-30 degrees cooler, but this is a very complicated process for less PC savvy consumers.
I haven't done the repaste yet, but in order to cut down on the temps I have to heavily regulate my CPU. Not only am I undervolting, but I've also disabled the turbo feature that comes with the Intel chips, and reduced the overall performance by 20%. These changes keep the temperatures at a respectable 45-50 degrees Celsius under light load or idling, and 75-85 degrees while gaming.
Dell customer service will tell you that 100 degree temperatures are "normal" but they aren't fooling NOBODY. Of course laptops will run hotter than desktops, especially a gaming spec laptop, but 100 degree temps should never be considered "normal."
I've heard that the Intel chips are capable of running at 100 degree temps for several years, so it might not be that big of an issue but the industry standard seems to be 25 degrees lower near 85 degrees Celsius. Not to mention, with that much heat in such close proximity to other components, I'd worry that other things might fail prematurely because of the heat.
Just a heads up for anyone looking to get the bargain i7-6700HQ/1060 GTX model.
GeminiTIGER When was yours made?
It was built on 1/5/2017 and I received it on 1/13/2017. To this day it still overheats. Repasting is expensive for me since I'm unwilling to disassemble my laptop, but undervolting/underclocking has improved my temperatures by 15-20 degrees. I use XTU to undervolt to -150, and then I use Power Management to limit my chip performance to 99% (this disables the boost function of the I-7 6700HQ). Now it typically runs between 77-82 degrees Celcius, down from 100 degrees, and NO thermal throttling and no FPS loss.
I'm considering paying for the repaste to see how much more that will cool it down.
GEEZUS... YOUR REVIEWS ARE SOOO CALMING. I dunno why but... You look so chill man lol. Your reviews/comments are also "natural" in a way that you dont seem just like reading a script or like someone endorsed you.
Keep it up!
One comment tho. You gotta have them catchy intros back. Just to stand out more from other reviewers. But meh im fine either way.
Still waiting for the 2017 Dell XPS 15
Not sure waiting for the 2017 model will matter. Based on new XPS 13 and thermal limits on hyper-thin laptop, expect slightly better battery performance only.
Better GPU too. Surely it will get a 1050 or 1060 instead of a 960.
The rumors indicate the 1050ti and the newest quadcore kaby lake CPU's
The Pascel GPU is worth the wait alone.
I hope they bring back the JBL speakers with killer sub woofer at the bottom.
Dave back at it again with a clean review! Too expensive for my taste, but good to know for a year or two down the road when I can grab it used :D
get the 13 in, best bang for bucks imo. You basically can't find a 1060 laptop for less than what dell offers with the 13 in. The cheapest out there is 15in sager/clevor, which is way behind in terms of build quality. Plus you can hook up the graphic amps, which is pretty much future proof.
Nerd on a Budget
Imo it's better to go with a powerful desktop with good power/dollar and a lighter laptop, that way you get the best of both worlds. (Unless you really can't have a desktop because you're always on the go or at college or something)
The 13 does not have the side light...lol that is the main reason I personally want to upgrade
*****
I'm not disagreeing with you on principal, I do just want to say though, that finding a product on the market that is a worse deal does not mean this is a good deal. I can say a MacBook Air or Razerblade 17" makes other machines look like a good deal (and you can argue that they have their own benefits) but that doesn't necessarily make them actually a good deal, especially if the average cost for those parts in a laptop is lower.
its 700$ dollars off right now :D
Thank you for the video... I just bought the AW 15" R3 with Kaby Lake... still-waiting for it to come in the mail!
I don't get why people call it ugly I find it really cool but the colour on the top I got to say it's not that good but the build quality is great and also the bezels are big but the cooling is 👍
i bought it last 2 month after watching your review, i was so impressed with the laptop performance. thanks man
The side light things are useless, but they do give the laptop a really cool look ;D
The most intense video at 1:54 Dave! So glad you managed to incorporate additional action into this video. As always, awesome work. :-)
I really hope that lizard made it out alright. it was like snake town in there
It does - by the skin of its teeth!

This is probably the 8th or 9th video of yours I've watched over the past couple of days. I subscribed last night for a couple reasons: you have a wide variety of reviews, from Dell or Lenovo, to Apple and Razer. I also find your videos to be "no none-sense", and simple to follow along with. Not sure if you'll get this comment or not, but wanted to give you some major props. Keep up the good work! You really are helping me figure out what laptop to get this year. :) (leaning towards the Razerblade Stealth currently, but got a few more videos to watch)
Man this thing is beautiful.. I dont need it but it makes sense for anyone to go to the 10 series there so much better
Just wanted to say that I was able to settle on the 15 R3 thanks to your awesome review and after a month of using it, I have to say that it is an awesome machine!
do you still have it?
Why doesn't Alienware have an OLED option for the 15 and 17 like they do with the 13?
+shooterboss panel cuts. No oled panel manufacturer is cutting 15"/17" panels at a reasonable price yet. Soon though!
any ETA? Q1 2017? Q4? 2018?
I'd like to know as well.. I want the 15 but I also really want an OLED instead of 4k so I would be willing to wait a bit.
Watching on an AW 15. Thanks for helping me decide Dave!
Dave Lee saving the day, after the election.
Marky Marc Lol
Dude the edit at 2:45 when you mix your camera feed with the ingame capture is so smooth damn
People always hated on Alienware, but now they are as expensive as other competetors..
Tante Marianne still overpriced with laptopa that are not even that good
tbh I always hated alienware because of overpriced builds but honestly, Being that the 15 inch AW laptop is cheaper than the 1060 Razer laptop... I might just buy this one...
***** Or just get a desktop
Or just get a desktop for cheaper and more performance.
FTR iRage Not everyone sits at home all day and may need the portability aspect.
I’ve had this computer for 7 years now and it’s crazy to think how long it’s lasted, unfortunately it’s finally given up on me.
Omg lol, that iguana was running for his life!!
Come on, it been more than nice. It's been fantastic.
Watching a video of a laptop I'll probably never have. Dave Lee makes the best reviews though, straight to the point, clear and mentions all the essentials.
The video is amazing, as always! Can you please tell how do you make these "blueprints" animations?
I really appreciate all the reviews you're doing. I use to be popular with monster gaming rigs and flight simulator x. I've been away from this for 5 years but I'm getting back into videos for my Z06 Corvette and my Harley Dyna Low Rider S. I like expensive toys. Again thanks for posting.
Hey Dave, since this laptop has both a usb c thunderbolt and the alienware proprietary port, why don't you try to compare the performance of using the razer core against the alienware graphics amplifier? Hahaha I think it would be a good video
+Jono WANG wait you can connect the razed core to the XPS 15?
+Harris Choudary razer*
i've done it. you can check my razer core video for exact numbers but the alienware amp gives slightly better performance. very slight but measurable
Dave Lee buddy i am concerned about ssd and number pad as seen on asus laptops ??
Can u suggest me something...
i am thinking of buying the base model with 1440p...will it be a good choice...help me buddy!!!
Alienware is faster because it uses a special connection with the CPU, razer core connects to the mobo, but is also 2x the price
Man +Dave Lee, I gotta admit, your editing style is so good!
ive always wondered, what do you use to make your line art?
Excellent review. The audio clarity of your videos stand out the most. Cheers!
Yo Dave, please do the 17 inch!!! biggest fan!
Ordering mine with a 1060. So stoked to be moving from the 13
But how does it compare to my iPad?
Watch It Melt not even close
Watch It Melt hahahaah lol
Ordered a 15 r3 fully loaded, except for the screen and harddrives. Paid priority shipping. $3000. Delivered! But not to me... UPS screwed up my delivery. No answers from dell support... just wanted to share my awesome experience so far.
am here cause am planning to buy for less then 400 dollars
Hi Dave! Great video. I was wondering what your top 3 15.6 inch 1060 or 1070 series laptops would be at this point? If you could only have one , which would it be and in which configuration?
Also you said 6 hours of battery life? Does this laptop have a 120 refresh rate and g-synch? All of the other laptops with a 1060 or 1070 seem to have 2-3 hours of battery life, and non gaming batter life does matter to me as I plan on using it for general typing and media consumption as well as gaming.
Thanks again Dave and keep up the good work!
Get the 2016 Razor Blade if you want portability otherwise this laptop should be fine if you don't plan on carrying it around due to it being quite heavy (trust me I've tried to bring my 15.6 inch laptop with me on an long haul plane trip, it was hell)
Dave your analysis is so great !! Congratulations
It's the legal limit for transporting in an airplane
Got one last week on a Best Buy Open Box deal for $1300. Been able to play games like RE7, GTAV, and Doom on Ultra with little to no frame drops. Highly recommendable if your constantly on the go.
I've watched your videos for over a year now and every time it amazes me the quality of your audio! Would you mind sharing what microphone you use and how you record audio? THANK YOU so much for taking my question :)
Damn, this guy is on a tear right now. Getting mentions from various tech websites
So much better than the MacBook Pro.
Alvin Lee 100x
having both.. for completely different purposes 10/10 for each
Alvin Lee a productivity laptop vs a gaming laptop...comparing different things man.
Elemental Hero Alienware is still better then the macbook pro
cellphone and toilet, which is better?
Dave you really get great skill and taste. Beautiful video. Make more plz!
great review
I love this laptop so much. Little bulkier, but I will gladly take that for excellent battery life, performance, and portability. Great choice for those of us who like to game but got to travel a lot.
I've also reviewed this exact model and while I can say it doesn't have any major flaws there needs to be more improvement in the trackpad size and speaker quality.
who is using a trackpad when playing games that take this kind of specs anyways lol also headphones....
Just bought this laptop for gaming and music production, 100% recommend. The 4K screen on a 15.6" screen issue isn't a problem in 2017, I know last year nothing, not even chrome had high DPI support but now most relevant software does.
Wub Wub Cat how much was the laptop and which one did you buy? Thanks.
James Fergus you can get the highest model on eBay or dells refurbish site for about £1300. No two model is the same on eBay however; I got lucky and got a GTX 1070, i7 6820HK and 16GB ram. You just have to be a bit patient and don't buy the first one you see.
Wub Wub Cat
Does the 4K panel come with g sync?
How much battery life are you getting for light use/media consumption?
Sammed Upadhye the 4k panel does indeed have g sync, and I'm getting about 3-4 hours of moderate use (having a few things open including horrible beasts like iTunes or Spotify) so light use would get you about 6 hours battery life.
6 hours seems pretty good for a laptop with a gtx1070, great for portable work i guess, did you test the battery hours for work, or for gaming (if its actually 6hrs when gaming, with the full performance mode, this will be the best laptop for gaming on battery, but i doubt my fantasies can be true)
yeah, it's pretty rare for Dave to not mention battery life for gaming, or did I miss it?
JY Yew if you are gaming the battery lasts around an hour 😊
Still not bad if its at 100% performance of the gtx1070. Own the gtx1070 on my desktop, and its a real beast for anything around 1440p.
Around an hour to one and a half hours... hope that helps! (And that's at full brightness)
JY Yew You get 6 hrs with web browsing etc because of Nividia Optimus. What Nvidia Optimus does is that it switches from Integrated Graphics to Dedicated graphics or the other way round. Integrated graphics for light work and dedicated graphics for gaming,heavy duty work.
I can't believe I've had this laptop for 6 years. Just finished Hogwarts Legacy with high settings on it. Played a solid 60 fps the whole time. I think it held up pretty well :)
Hi. Do you play apex legend on this laptop ? If you did, may you give me some thoughts about that ? I have a plan to buy this secondhand from my friend
What about the 120Hz monitor option ? Is it better over a 4K screen ? Is it really much smoother ?
toocoolforu Yes, for gaming. The color accuracy is actually improved, too. 4K at 15.6" is difficult to notice benefits from unless you are a designer or photographer.
Yeah I think 1440p 120hz monitors are just like the best thing. Esspecially if they are being powered by 1070's or 1080's.
I have a 120hz model and I am really impressed with it. Has good color and obviously 120hz is amazing for gaming.
Does 120hz make any visible difference to things other than gaming? Like, if you are watching movies or moving cursor or just about anything else?
Gaming is the biggest thing. The cursor looks smoother as well. Dragging items makes text easier to read as well but obviously that isn't a huge a deal. For me where I'm used to 144hz and 120hz it's hard for me to go back to 60hz. It actually takes me a few minutes for my eyes to adjust when I go back. I don't regret getting the 120hz version.
So....after 3 years, today marks the day I've become an Owner of one of these beauties.
IS THERE A THERMAL PROBLEM WITH THIS LAPTOP??? Cause I might buy one so yea..
Arman Gaming i wanna know to i heard there was thermal problem
Dell fixed the problem with all laptops shipped after December.
CptHuggyFace Thanks a lot :D
CptHuggyFace if it is true it would be awesome
There is a thermal problem with it.
You're my go-to reviewer for laptops, your videos are TOP-NOTCH, without peer and without doubt.
Dave have you heard of the rumored 1050TI laptops?, any info?
+Zinedine Zidane sit tight. Soon! But don't expect killer performance from the 1050
Dave Lee I'm just hoping for value 1080p gaming laptops! BTW what about AMD RX 400 series GPU's on laptops?
Hey, been watching your videos lately and I just wanted to let you know that I really love the way you present your videos with the wonderful intros and rememberable thumbnails that keeps making me come back for more, love the simplistic style and vocabulary that you use to describe the product which can make it easier for the average listener such as myself and the art design is on point! Keep it up!
Dave, pls do the razer core external GPU for new macbook pro !!!
HE HE you cant
why cant???
HE HE Because it's Apple xD
HE HE it doesn't work yet, someone already tried
You deserve more than 300k . . thank you so much for your time and effort Dave :-)
If you have the money the new gaming Laptops should be awesome
or you could build a better desktop for just as much.
Christopher Cranor not every has the space for it
sure, let me carry a desktop in my backpack to school... stupid
there you go insult me great come back, if you're a student idk why you would spend all that money on a gaming lap top in the first place. save yourself a grand and go buy a regular ultra book that doesn't weigh 5 pounds.
Christopher Cranor being student doesnt mean being poor you know? Also be a man and carry some weight else ask your boyfriend to carry it for you
A no-compromises gaming laptop (except for the bulky size) at a great price.
Does it feel really heavy to carry around in a backpack?
Scott G. I own the 2015 version. It's quite heavy as compared to other laptops. However, it's a gaming laptop. Packed with performance! So yeah... Oh well, it's one of the best gaming laptops out there in the market.
Isk Petrucci I have the 2015 module too and yes it's heavy. But I'm still happy with my 970m so I won't upgrade
If you want a light laptop from Alienware get a 13 r2 or r3 if you don't want an Alienware then a razer would work
Precisely. Do take note that Razer's laptop heat up quite fast. It gets hot
Isk Petrucci It didn't get hot at all when I had it. The cpu stayed below 75 while gaming. The whole laptop just felt a little warm. Never hot, nor uncomfortable.
Now this is a reviewer! Not the sponsored commercial guy *cough UnboxTherapy *cough AustinEvans
i wanna buy this laptop but i see in some others review that the cpu overheat a lot
Matias Montoya I have the same thing except with the 1080p screen and the 1060. CPU NEVER overheats and I play a ton of heavy games. Thermals are awesome, idles at around 42°C and never got above 60 °C for me under load. highly recommend one
Thank u for the answer man, but i see ths issue with the 1070 and i wanna the 1070 with thee 1080 display. What games do u play on your laptop?
Matias Montoya GTA 5, Doom, some Battlefield 1. Get over 80 FPS in each.
oh really?? with a 1060 u get that performance?? i see other reviews on a 1070 laptop and u get the same or very close performance. Thank u so much, i would see more laptop with 1060
Matias Montoya That's what I get but your mileage may vary. I don't turn on the MSAA settings because I find them useless.
great review! just wanted to drop a comment that your reviews are among the most enjoyable on youtube :) your videos are informative, nicely edited and you balance well between objective facts and personal opinion. keep it up!
I wish I was rich to buy these expensive laptop to gift my mom really legit
Rizwan Neymar you dont need an alienware to gift your mum?
Ini Bukan Dhafin exactly
but the lights will make her look cool you kmow and I don't have anymoney to buy
i think you're trying to get a free laptop for yourself.
so you know a way how to
I am really impressed by your positive attitude when it comes to videos, you always seem happy!
Hi guys!
I have this laptop for 6 months (i7 7820HQ, gtx1070, full hd 15inch screen). What can I say? DON'T BUY IT!!!
It's a real crap! ALWAYS hot (I made re-pasting with liquid metal). When it wakes after 'sleep' mode - often sound doesn't work. In IE (my main browser) audio driver doesn't work in 90% and sound becomes awful. You can't play in games without cooling pad because it (as I said before) is always hot. And in games it just dies due to thermal throttling. I'm gonna sell this crap. And I sincerely advice to NOT to buy it... it doesn't cost that money (I bought it from DELL's official shop) and weight doesn't bring any benefit ... very bad device. Battery wear after 6 month of careful usage is 21%... twenty one percent... my prev MSI had 17% after 2 years of usage... So only disappointments, nothing more
LeGatoDarko but u r selling it now haha
it gets hot because it does not have proper thermal paste. I paid for a tech guy to redo the thermal paste on gpy and cpu. get the thermal paste of amazon.
How much did you buy?
ahmed alkayem smallest pack size was enough for cpu and gpu. I got thermal grizzly paste
I love those pg up page down keys.. call me crazy but it seriously helps while programming on older compilers.
doesnt look much thinner at 00:46
thats because the new model had the lid closed and the old model had the lid open, once he closes the lid you can tell its much bigger.
Mr. Q - iLoveQatar.net look at 0:49... definitely much thinner
ah true that! I must have missed him closing the lid as I scrolled down to write this :P
Mr. Q - iLoveQatar.net this guy jumping the gun lol. relax lay back and finish the video :D
Cuz of tbe rubber feet
Ordered the model with GTX 1070! Chose the simplest display...... IPS 60 MHz, avoiding the 120 MHz or 4K one. Hoping to get more battery life outta it.
The main reason I avoided Acer Predator, ASUS ROG or MSI is because of the build quality vs portability vs thermal management. Alienware seems to strike a good balance compared to others.
My only is regret not having more budget to get the i7-6820HK processor.
Rizwan Mashur ul Muttakin how is it, I am confused about which display do I get
1070? Full HD 120 Hz. 4K makes no sense with the 1070, does not have enough power to drive it with reasonable fps (assuming you're gaming), on the other hand, the 1070 usually gives you more then 60 fps in current games.
i have already commented on a ton of your videos including this one but i am doing this again for a entry into mr mobiles giveaway......kinda greedy ik but 😊😊... so I've been subscribed to you even before you hit 10 thousand and i have seen some of your vids multiple times .....just like for mr mobile ....i have seen all of your vids.....like every single one of them from either this ot my moms account....i am in love with your simple style of videos and how infromayive they are.....i have watched the aw 15 r3 and r2 and lenovo y910 aio vids atpeast 5 or 6 times rach and i still dont get bored.....i have ton 9f your vids offlined (1.2 gb to be precise ) and i still watch them while going to and coming back from school..... you have been amazing and i love your vids.......like the 7$ pc joke made me giggle a bit inside
Nice details! It's working. Keep doing what your doing
Dear Dave - Based on your always awesome review I have gone out and purchased one of these. It was a toss up between this and the gorgeous Razer Blade... I'm afraid the specs on this just won out. It'll mainly be a desktop replacement but I also ordered a 15" backpack for carrying it around...
I just wanted to say thank you for your hard work so that people like myself can get some good insight for what we want (also love how upgradable tis is with the HDD)
PEOPLE get this same exact model through Dells's website instead of Amazon, well at least for the moment since they have Black Friday sales. I ended up saving $400! Good replacement for my older Dell XPS 15 with a 750m. Love the review by the way Dave!
I just want to say that I totally love your videos dude, and you sold me on this! I've had my Alienware 15" R3 for a few months now and I love it. I'm picking up an HTC Vive soon, can't wait to use it with it. Best gaming laptop I have ever owned, I use it more than my desktop, to the point where I sold my tower and now just rambo the Alienware. It's a beast!
Can't wait for the Alienware 17 with the 1080 graphics card review..😊
watched this video for a million times, finally decided to order one myself yesterday, cheers :)
Because of this video. I'm getting one of those. Thanks dave!
Great vid! I'm planning on purchasing this tomorrow with the new Kaby Lake i7-7820HK and 120Hz monitor. Can't wait to use it :).
Im happy the lizard escaped at 1:56! Lucky nice lizard
Dave, your reviews are great. This video convinced me to buy this. It'll ship soon, and I'm sure that I'll be impressed.
Probably the best tech reviewer I've listened and watched. Keep up the good work. Just subscribed. :)
If I knew this was coming out, I would not have built a PC and would have just gone for this. Portable and so sexy!
Your videos are so professional and cool. Indeed you deserve more subs. Just subscribed!
Still my favorite Gaming Laptop from 2016 . - I love that keyboard layout .
If I was in the market for a laptop, I would buy this one. I've always used desktop computers, and have built them myself for 8 years. This laptop has it all, the thermal management is wondrous, the style and apparent durability of the case ooze quality and precise design parameters. Alienware has truly evolved in recent years, they were laughable pits of money when they started out. It's definitely got my brain thinking of selling my desktop in the future and replacing it with this. Thanks for the great review Dave, you always do a superb job at covering all the pros and cons in a concise yet accurately detailed manner of the hardware you showcase on your channel!
Short, sharp, straight to the point! Love your videos!
I'm gonna buy this, seen one on a site with a 4K screen and the 1070M card for £1500. I've owned various Alienware laptops in the past and if there's one thing I wish they would change it's the material that surrounds the keyboard, which is an absolute ball ache to keep clean! I also hate the track pad, the one on the AORUS looks and feels much nicer. That said, I absolutely love the new lights on the side of the laptop, and I'm glad the' 'Alienware' text under the display is now in a much less prominent font, as it could be really distracting. This new font looks far more stylish. Kinda wish the bezel was thinner though, but it;s not a big deal.
Oh, and this was a fantastic review by the way, and helped to influence my decision to go ahead and purchase. You have yourself a new subscriber!
Great videos been watching a lot from you. Always seem to be honest and give real pros and cons. Keep up the great work!
I just bought 15R3 7700HQ from a Dell exclusive showroom in Chennai, India it's really an awesome laptop but it has heating issues. I got max temperature of 97°C(room temp is 28°C-30°C air-conditioned) while running Unreal engine's Heaven Benchmark. I'm going to post the same in many network just to help other buyers so don't take it as a spam.
