Two Thumbs Way Up

Features and connectivity are excellent. You can connect to your phone AND game at the same time. Also, the mic quality is great (recommend using the foam cover) and fit is perfect (nice seal with self-adjusting headband). Construction is almost entirely metal. Movies sound great with the 7.1 surround feature that replicates surround sound similar to the Sony WH-L600. While the Sony are "good", they are expensive for what they are and have a very plastic build. Even if you don't game, the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless is a winner. The only con is there's no USB-C, however, it comes with an additional battery that stays charged in the transmitter, so you may never even use the Micro USB connection.

Deep bass that can rumble your face off (if engaging bass boost)? Check. Full mids and superb vocal reproduction? Check. Detailed highs? Check. Built like a Tank? Check. Price is right? Check.

Wired Performance...Wirelessly
on November 14, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
Grabbing this on sale for $39 is a flat out steal. Over Bluetooth, this is the smoothest and most responsive experience I've had. Other lesser mice will have dropped clicks, less than precise movement, and just feel unrefined. This, however, compares almost spot one with my wired 16,000 DPI wired Hyper X mouse.

Impressive quality controller. Many aftermarket controllers feel somewhat flimsy and like they are, well, aftermarket. Remember that smell you got when opening your NES or SNES? That's the same nostalgic aroma you'll get here. It's basically a souped up SNES controller that feels like the real deal, buttons 'n all.

The Dell XPS 17 laptop delivers powerful performance in an incredibly thin form factor. The stunning 4-sided InfinityEdge UHD+ display enables an amazing screen to body ratio (93.7%) and a 17-inch screen in a 15-inch size form factor. In fact, it~s smaller than 48% of 15-inch laptops*. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 graphics feature unique dual opposite outlet fans, that increase fan airflow by approximately 30% and drive cooling airflow in both directions, resulting in more airflow overall and improved skin temperatures*. A 100% Adobe RGB display enables you to edit your videos with confidence in their color. 100% of the enclosure is sculpted by a CNC (computer numerical control) machining process. A high precision, machine-milled aluminum chassis creates an elegant design with high build quality that~s stronger and stiffer than magnesium or plastic. A premium 17" touch laptop with a thin and light design.

Powerful laptop that's capable of pretty much anything you can throw at it. The Intel Core i7-10875H & GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q are a marvelous paring that can blaze through any task and even many AAA games at high settings. Heat management is very good.
One thing that I've often overlooked in laptops is the sound. In this case, it's not an afterthought. The speakers are very competent and actually enjoyable to listen to! More than just function, the sound has depth and is engaging for a laptop.
Display...what can I say, it's flat out gorgeous. Coupled with Dell PremierColor, you can adjust the settings to your preference. Backlight bleed is almost zero and it's the closest I've seen a non-OLED display nearly match an OLED.
Physical build is top-notch and probably the most solid laptop you can get, yet still being only 5.5 pounds. Perfect for professionals and occasional gamers, this is the do-it-all powerhouse that will knock your socks off.

Compared to other routers with similar specs, this one is priced far more competitively and just gives you more for less $. Solid companion app, nice feature to change colors (was able to seamlessly match my desktop lighting) and excellent reception in a 2,500+ Sq Ft home.

Great Specs, Great Performance, Poor Screen
on November 7, 2020
Posted by: HiFi80sMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
Almost everything about this laptop is great, be it the raw horsepower, smooth keyboard, portable size, etc. However, it's
Achilles' heel is the lackluster screen. While the colors are good, the response rate is excellent, and movement is overall buttery smooth, the backlight bleeding around the edges (all 4 corners and particularly bad bottom right edge) is absolutely atrocious. Now I'm NOT talking about IPS glow, I'm specifically referring to the backlight penetrating the edges, as if a flashlight is shining through.

If you game or watch movies that feature dark scenes, the light bleed is obvious and distracting. It's not like this thing costs half of what is does. This is a flagship series with poor screen manufacturing/QC. Who knows, maybe someone gets a unicorn and all is well, but I've gone through multiple 2020 Alienware laptops and all are roughly the same in terms of moderate backlight bleed. I just purchased a $999 MSI for my son and it has even lighting and minimal bleeding around the edges.

Mixed Bag

Verified Purchase:Yes
There are a lot of good things about this laptop. It's not super heavy, yet specs are great. Full sized keyboard that's top notch with a nice, soft key press. Quality touchpad. Performance is excellent.
That being said, Dell should do a better job with the display. For over $2,000, the backlight bleed in the corners is horrible, not to mention a dead pixel in the center of the screen. I just purchased a $999 MSI for my son and it has consistent lighting edges with minimal bleed. I've actually gone through 4 other Dell laptops with their 300Hz panel and more or less are all about the same. I have an older Dell budget laptop from 2016 I bought for my wife that doesn't even have these issues. Very disappointing in 2020 that QC has really gone downhill, especially in their flagship laptop series.

PROS
- Beautiful screen. Honestly, probably the best OLED screen I've seen on a laptop, especially at this price point. It can get bright. Great contrast with vivid colors.
- Benchmarks consistently beat baseline averages on all tests.
- I know some mention heat issues, but I've had no such issues using this in a typical home/office setting.
- Cool lighting system.
- Large, high-quality touchpad.
- Top-notch metal construction with a classic understated design.

CONS
- Fans are a bit louder than average, but by no means obnoxious. Use headphones anyway, so not an issue for me, but still worth mentioning.
- Glare could be an issue if you are in a heavily lighted area.

Got this on sale for $1,899. For that price and the specs, which overachieve, this is a fantastic laptop with a flat out gorgeous screen.

Great Audio
September 28, 2020
Another thing to add, is the sound card is incredible. It's a Realtek chip and simply identified as "Realtek High Definition Audio", but nevertheless, it makes my Audio-Technica MSR-7b shine!

From the beginning, the AERO series raised the bar of what a high-performance laptop should be; ultra-light, ultra-fast, with no limitations. Cutting edge engineering enhanced the end user experience by tackling the finer details, optimizing performance through calibration. The all new AERO evolves again from the inside out with an upgraded cooling system, refined aesthetics with an unparalleled visual experience, giving users the power to realize endless creative possibilities. With the AERO series, users can have lightning fast video or 3D rendering, or embrace smooth as butter gameplay of AAA game titles.

This is seriously pretty cheap if you do the price match. The 3070 has more than 100w in this model and 360hz screen is sweet. The only thing I would complain is the fan noise. The fan sounds like a desperate woman screaming. Overall, I would suggest this laptop, even though the performance is not Alienware’s strength, the outlook of this laptop is sick.
