This is probably the 3rd best deal I seen on a 4080 laptop in the last 2 months, the best being the direct from Acer manufacture refurbished acer predator, from two weeks ago through ebay for 1274, it was overall way better than this. It arrived looking brand new, just no OEM box, plain brown box with bubble enclosure.

Only if your using it in direct sunlight outside.
I'm going to wait until Black Friday.

As for the results, when I benchmarked mine with superposition it was about 10% slower than my desktop with a 3080. I dont recall the temps, but I know in general temps are pretty high on anything with a high end CPU/GPU. The PCgamer review on it said it actually had really good temp management so that I am not sure about. When mine was running normally I had no issues with temps whatsoever, only when putting through the tests did the spike high but I dont recall how high so not going to speculate.
I am also sending mine back, but only because I was expecting it to be slightly better than my desktop, which it isnt, so I set my expectations a little too high, and for me if it cant replace my desktop it was not worth the almost $1400 after tax.
For anyone who does not already have a gaming desktop and wanted a desktop replacement like me that acer predator was a steal. I looked at other 4080's the difference seemed to be less than 10% and it did better than a razor with a 4090 on the pcgamer review.
Unfortunately that rules out most higher end gaming laptops so it certainly makes shopping for one difficult.

Gpu performs somewhere between a desktop 4070 and 4070ti. For anyone who travels a lot for work (like me), that's rtx 3080 performance on-the-go (along with all the dlss upscaling goodies for 4k TVs etc). My Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch are amazing when on the road, but this laptop would be a heckuva nice alternative.
The quibbles:
- Alienware has this terrible wall/foot design on the bottom of the laptop that hurts thermals. Like most gaming laptops you can just raise it off the ground by an inch or use a cooling pad etc to improve airflow.
- 16gb ram is skimpy considering the cpu/gpu combo, but also saves money. Upgrading the sticks adds to the TCO.
- most people won't care about Windows Pro vs Home, but that is a significant addition for which I'd happily pay extra.
- smallish battery, but all gaming laptops with this level of power are meant to be plugged in 90% of the time anyhow.

If you got the time run the superposition bench mark on both at 1080p extreme and let me know what you get will be curious since I cant compare to your timespy but I can compare to super position as mentioned in the Acer Thread my desktop got around 11,000 +- 400 on repeat tests while the Acer Predator got around 10,000 +-400 again.
