Good price.

I own this but I would recommend the 2060 OC version over this because of thermal throttling.

I repasted both 2070 and 2060 version and lower the voltage by 125 and I noticed that 2060 thermal throttles less and ran cooler and faster than the 2070 version.

The results did not seem right so, I actually tried 4 different 2070 and they were the same. I ended up with a good deal on a 2070 32gb ddr4 with 1tb ssd but they started using inferior parts some time between 3/2020 to now. Used to come with samsung rams and ssd before Mar 2020 now it has hyunix ddr4 and micron ssd.

They also cheap out on heat sinks for the m.2 and 2½ drive bay and sata cable by providing you with only what it was configured with. You will have to have your own screw for the second m.2 slot, not sure you can still call alienware a premium brand.
The picture is of the R1.

How is this compared to the legion deal? For the purposes of this hypo, assume I don't care about screen size difference.

AMEX (YMMV) get $100 off $100 with Dell. Don't forget to add offers. Makes this a better overall deal.

Dope deal, swooped on this. Yes new graphics cards are coming out, but RTX 2070 MQ is still pretty future proof. Add some memory and upgrade the HD to get a beastly machine. Never had Alienware laptop but coming from Dell G7 the build quality was pretty solid. This is supposed to be their top tier machine. We'll see how build quality and thermals are.

Looking for a replacement for a dell branded gaming laptop. The hinges were garbage and the plastic case prone to damage. Quality of their alienware significantly better, or should I go back to Asus and/or MSI? Aluminum case or plastic junk? features page doesn't specify.

In for one. The specs are great for the price and will be used for portable VR gaming. Thanks!

BTW, I talked to an agent and they said the drive is NVMe, although it doesn't indicate NVMe on the product page.
