Woah! 1520 for a high end Alienware laptop? I can only dream of finding an Alienware for this price... I would take it with me even if I had to take a loan somewhere to do so...
yo ive had mine for a year now love it as well just upgraded my storage to a 2tb samsung 990 ssd are you running 2 32gb for the ram? and what speed is it rated
Hows your temperature? I got one for $1675 same specs same packaging. But when I got it the cpu temperatire was really high about 67-90 doing absolutely nothing no usage but really hot I returned it now im thinking of getting another one for $1545.
Just sitting here watching youtube the cpu sits in the mid 50s, but to be fair these cpus are designed for run hot, AMD went with a higher TJmax with the 7000 series and if I recall they said the cpu is designed to run at 95c all the time. Here is a link to AMD talking about it. community.amd.com/t5/gaming/ryzen-7000-series-processors-let-s-talk-about-power-temperature/ba-p/554629
@@GrumpyWolfTech I'm not really familiar with AMD it was the first time I bought a AMD CPU I didn't know they are designed to run at 95c avg I usually use Intel cpus and they run 40-60celsius stand by. Well thanks for your response I just ordered another one Ill try again.
@@GrumpyWolfTech I just got my Laptop I was able to fix the overheating CPU issue I found out you can change the TCC offset which limits the CPU performance a little bit but lowers the temperature I set it about 87celsius now it's always 87celsius if I don't turn on TCC offset it's 100celsius constant when gaming while doing light browsing around 60-80. The fps difference is not really huge about 5fps difference
Bought a g14 oled 120hz with a RTX 4060 open box for 1k at best buy. I can say indeed the 8gb of Vram is causing me to possibly go buy this Alienware open box. I love the portability of the g14 and its mainly for school but when I game I need that extra Vram lol
I'll give it a shot, only problem with that though is Alienware is going to stop supporting it long before nvidia will. Ultimately leaving you with out of date drivers, or just putting up with the bluescreens.
Great video. I was eyeing an open box one at BB as well. You still happy with your purchase post review?
Yes! Very happy. Legit the best laptop I've ever had.

That's why I got rid of my laptop with a 4070 in it, especially since I play in 4k, the 8gb vram just isn't enough anymore.
@GrumpyWolfTech if I do upgrade it's gonna be 4080 minimum.
For the blue screen, you need to install the drivers from Alienware, not the Nvidia website.

The woolf only speaks in my left ear… AAAAAA
