Another way of looking at it is if you get the Alienware, with the extra money you are saving instead of buying the L5P , you can buy a 32" 165Hz 1440p Dell Gaming monitor ($300). Definitely something to consider. I have been through several Dell G15 and Alienware and settled on the L5P. The Alienware is just too underpowered or hot for me. Reviews of the Alienware share the same sentiments. But those reviews were done when the Alienware was double the price. It's easy to overlook those issues when it's only $1100.

The Legion 5 Pro has a superior screen which is brighter and different aspect ratio but the same refresh. The L5P has far superior cooling and higher power 140W 3070 so performance will be better. The Ryzen is better on battery life too compared for the i7 if that matters. Still the Alienware is about $300 cheaper it's still a consideration. Consider the Alienware as an entry level 3070. It's not much more powerful or expensive than some laptops with 3060s.

Did you get it to work with the coupon posted here as well? Just tried, but couldn't add both.

Also, maybe 10% back from a certain cash back site.

Fantastic deal! I have an older model of this same laptop, and:

- love the Alienware built, with RGB keyboard and logo
- good price to get into a gaming laptop
- fast enough for most games
- did not encounter any HW issues

But…

- fans sound like a jet engine when stressed
- battery life not great
- huge power brick adapter

I wish it had a metal chassis, but for $1200 I doubt that's possible.

3-4 hours due to intel cpu, R5 has 7+ hour. You can buy a slim 240 dell charger which will compensate this.
No way will you see 3-4 hours of battery life on this guy. Let's face it, that is the downside to pretty much all gaming laptops.

That landscape has been changed and most gaming laptops with decent battery size can give that for normal usage. AMD Ryzen based gaming laptops can go over 9 hours for normal usage. Let's face it, you're not aware of the changes in gaming laptops for last couple of years

Does Dell still have no return policy?
Also, what about hashrate?

If you get Samsung VRAM you will get 64-68 MH/s at 105-115 watts on the GPU. Temps will be in the 60's.

2 panels are made by plastic like metal, for this newer model.
