What's great about it: Thin, mechanical keys, back lighting, works flawlessly with Surface
What's not so great: Cost is way out there.
This, by far, is the best portable keyboard I have ever used for a portable device. I've owned Apple and Android devices and tried a host of blue tooth keyboards. All I ever got over blue tooth was maybe every other or every third character not being captured by the device while I typed. I type over 100 words a minute so you can imagine how frustrating constantly slowing down to correct my words ever other second. This keyboard blows away anything that a blue tooth keyboard offers. It kept up with my typing speed and I never once felt like I had to slow down for my device. If you purchase this keyboard you will not be disappointed. The price is a bit out there however everyone seems to be charging a premium for even the most inexpensive, trivial mobile accessories these days.
I would recommend this to a friend!

 Bowers &amp; Wilkins - B&amp;W PI5 True Wireless Headphones with Adaptive Noise Cancellation, Bluetooth 5.0 with Qualcomm aptX, Charcoal - Charcoal
Bowers & Wilkins - B&W PI5 True Wireless Headphones with Adaptive Noise Cancellation, Bluetooth 5.0 with Qualcomm aptX, Charcoal - Charcoal
B&W PI5 true wire-free headphones are attractive, well-built, and they deliver a refined sound quality. Featuring Bluetooth 5.0 with Qualcomm aptX technology these earphones ensure reliable connectivity whether you are streaming from your smartphone, tablet or PC. Allows connection of up to two devices at the same time, however, only one device can be used to play or make a call at a time. Download the Bowers & Wilkins free headphone app, available for Apple and Android for further control of the sound and noise cancellation, right on your phone. The PI5 headphones feature the latest innovations in adaptive noise cancellation along with 4 built-in microphones that pick up ambient noise and cancel it with an equal, but opposite, audio signal and enhance the call quality. There are three levels of Adaptive Noise Cancellation – High, Low and Auto, that can be controlled either by the multi-functional button on the left earbud or via the app. Similarly, the touch-sensitive button on the right earbud allows you to enable voice assistance. The buttons also allows you to control playback and phone call functions with single (play/pause, answer call), double (skip forward, end call), or triple presses (skip backward). Another stand-out feature of these headphones is the intuitive detection sensors that put the earphones on standby or reconnect them depending upon whether they are removed or put back on. The PI5s come with a sturdy and attractive charging case for charging the earbuds when not in use. The case is equipped with two 350mAh rechargeable batteries. Each earbud has a rechargeable battery which provides up to 4 hours of wireless playback. Including the charging case, the PI5 can provide up to 12 hours of continuous playback.

Is the display having G-Sync?

For the 300Hz screen:

From Alienware's site:
"15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080) 300Hz 3ms 300-nits 100% sRGB color gamut"

https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/cty/pdp/spd/alienware-m15-r4-laptop?~ck=mn

I do not see any indication of G-Sync on/off in the nVidia driver settings.

Does it have Gsync?

This is not a Gsync monitor. At least I cannot find any information online or in the system drivers that tell me otherwise.
You can connect the laptop to a Gsync monitor and take advantage of all the features of Gsync with that monitor.
