I purchased this Dell a month ago and hope the similarity with the Alienware chamber cooling is effective (more so than the Lenovo 7i I previously had).
I do miss the ability to charge the laptop through the USB-C (even though it is tb4) as on the Lenovo and so I purchased this port adapter from Amazon (could be found cheaper on Aliexpress).

It works well with my Lenovo C135 charger (most likely any 100w USB-C charger). I can't game with it (haven't even tried) and I did turn off the low power message in BIOS, but for lighter tasks it kept the battery slowly recharging. It did a very good job when the laptop was off.
I was unable to get a refund for the McAfee yearly subscription because it comes in a bundled package. I do not like McAfee's business model and don't want to support them. I just fully uninstalled.
The G16 does heat-up during more intensive tasks, the fans seem to be a little slow to kick in (it gets hotter than I like before they become more aggressive). I will be purchasing and utilizing a laptop cooling pad.
Right now, the site not to be named that starts with an ARE is offering ten percent back.
Yes its heavy but solid, the nits for the screen are good enough, fans on high can get noisy but very quiet when not gaming, the charging block is massive but overall I find it to be a very slick deal. While it is not as sleek as a Microsoft Surface or Macbook, it has a hybrid appeal, when used with the USB-C charger its simple design can fit into a professional/educational environment.
The options to increase/decrease power consumption are more confusing than with the Lenovo. I still have to figure out what is the best method to extend battery life when not gaming.(undervolting, MUX, etc).

Have you noticed any issues? Do you know if a lower USB-C charge (65 w) will charge it? How long have you been under power charging the laptop?
Thanks!

I have been charging like this about once every two days (when away from my desk) and have only performed simple tasks (Office, watching vides, etc). It works very well and allows me to leave that behemoth of a charging brick home.
Cannot speak to a 65watt charger, but at the very least it should charge when the laptop is off or idle..

Mine is still in "processing" after a week.

Then, just loading it up for its first initial boot I was in awe at how loud the thing was. Even my wife commented from across the room. She thought the sound was coming from the neighbors.
And lastly, the power brick is enormous. If you've owned a OneWheel or an electric bike, picture a brick even larger.
The fan noise and power brick might just be something you have to deal with for new gaming laptops, I wasn't aware of how extreme they were though. I was thinking it would be a good compromise to work in a little bit of mobility with the laptop versus a desktop, but I don't think I would try to travel with that thing.
