Apparently Alienware is having major supply issues so who knows



Already have a RAM upgrade to 32GB at home since it was cheaper to do on my own

Believe it or not, it actually has the best cooling of any laptop in the 17in gaming bracket:

GPU and CPU temps average in the 70s at max load!

Where do you live?

The 2016 regs against high end computers have gone into effect in certain west coast states and they've been affecting Dell pretty hard

Oklahoma. This is one of the few times where this ass-backwards state actually proved advantageous.

Personally, I think 4K is a waste on a 17" laptop, but sounds like a banging system otherwise.
Just don't expect decent battery life.

With default power saving settings you pretty much have to keep your laptop plugged in all the time to get the full power out of your system.

Wow, that is pricy! I got a 1500 dollar gaming desktop, the keyboard on my old laptop went out years ago and I have been using a USB keyboard for a while or on screen one till I got this one I am using. No keyboard worries with a desktop.

I actually wanted to get a QHD (1440p) screen but the only options were 1080p or 4K, although the 4K panel is 500 nits which is amazing

Still hasn't even gone into production yet, so I contacted customer support and complain, and they gave me $150 off. Considering how many discounts I got already, that feels like a pretty good deal.

So are you using your Razer Blade until the new laptop gets in and you move all your files over?

I hope you are upgrading that SSD as well, because 512GB is just absolutely pathetic these days for a gaming laptop.

They do, it's a very recent trend this year.
