IDK... If you are into tech and are polite to the techs I have never had an issue. Quick phone or web chat and either a tech or a box sent out next day. Pending parts of course.
My Alienware 17 R1 (Ranger) with the i7-4900MQ / RTX 780 is still running strong after 7 years. I used it every day for 10-16 hours a day for 5 of those and then used the 7559 for about a year followed by my m17 r1. The m17 r1 has been used about 10-16 hours a day for the past year and only minor heat issues if the heatsinks got clogged.
m17 r1 was upgraded to 64GB, second nvme disk added, and of course OS rebuilt with Win10 Enterprise. Used 90% of the time on my lap and although I picked up better paste and pads to replace the OEM ones, I never had a need for non-gaming use. Gaming times go on a cooling pad to keep things stable.
The system I had originally purchased for my replacement was a Lenovo P71 with pretty much identical specs (i7-980xh one had a RTX3000, one RTX 4000 and one with a 5000). Alienware only has a 2060 max-P, but all of the Lenovo's ran super hot to the point where I could not use it on my lap. I run the AW m17r1 in shorts w/o issue.
The P71 did seem faster though as the IOPS felt faster when driving multiple VMs. Granted, the drives in there may have been faster than my Samsung 970 Evo.

Mostly going with this for CPU and GPU for the price, they missed the dell deal a couple days ago.

However, I think that deal is sold out. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this. Great specs and will be a great machine. I love my Alienware Aurora R11 desktop I bought last July.

I've read plenty of people solving the "heat issues" with a couple of simple settings changes. There's info in the previous threads, YouTube, and a couple forums people posted.
I picked up the g15 with the same specs for around $950 after cash back, but this is enticing. I really would much rather have this with the full keyboard. Hmm
