super cool

I am very happy with this purchase so far. This is my first gaming PC, I was gaming on the Xbox series X before this. Wow what difference in picture quality, speed and movements. Easy set up overall, I do recommend getting a WIFI extender if your not directly plugging in. The WIFI antennas they give you work great but with my extender I gained a ton of speed. The overall design is awesome it looks like a beast of a machine because it is!If you're a controller player like me, very simple to plug in Type C to Type C to your Xbox controller, works great. Overall so far I am very happy and love this PC and I highly recommend it, graphics are off the charts as long as your have a good screen to work it with. I am using a gigabyte M32UC monitor and it looks amazing.

2 months of ownership at this point (3080 version). Overall, this is a beautiful and powerful gaming PC, truly looking like a piece of alien technology on my desk. I bought it "used" via Amazon Warehouse for a big discount: aside from not arriving in the original box, no signs of wear. The warranty had 7 months left.Just finished a playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3 on max settings at 4k resolution (FPS capped at 60 due to monitor restrictions). Zero problems, and the GPU temperature rarely rose above 65 C. The highest temperature I've seen is 75 C, and that was with GPU utilization near 100%.I've tried a bit of VR via a wired connection to a Meta Quest 2 with decent results. Google Earth is stunning. No Man's Sky has to be played at minimum settings due to severe stuttering, thought NMS VR is a notorious system hog. Performance was improved when I minimized the Steam VR's screen mirror displayed on the monitor.There is a known problem with sleep mode with Alienware on Windows 11. While sleeping the fans frequently cycle on/off, and this lead to an occasional blue screen ("Windows failed to load"), requiring a restart. Turning off sleep mode and using Hibernate instead eliminated this problem 95%. Startup following hibernate requires just a few seconds to load.Overall, thumbs up. Will update review if new problems emerge.

Take the risk and buy while it’s on sale cheapest 4080 runs like a charm

I bought this during the Black Friday sale along with an ASUS ROG Swift 360Hz 27” 1440P HDR monitor. Unfortunately, the GPU is malfunctioning and doesn’t recognize the display port. We've attempted various troubleshooting methods, including driver reinstalls, but ultimately, the excellent DELL SERVICE, WHICH IS INCLUDED, will send a technician to replace the GPU.But now, however, my PC has been stuck on the alien logo for days despite our efforts, suggesting a potential issue with the motherboard. Consequently, I've decided to return this unit and purchase another one of the same model, giving the vendor another chance. I'll keep you updated on the progress.
