Yes, I would recommend this product

I'm a previous owner of the excellent Alienware M11xR1. I absolutely loved that laptop but decided it was time to upgrade as the
Nvidia GT 335m card in it was showing it's age in more recent games. This time I decided to go with something a little beefier so I could
get a graphics card that would have the juice to run current and future games with the settings cranked up and have the ability to
expand my storage space as needed, plus I wanted a larger display and the 17 seemed like the best ... (readmore)
Pros: beatiful display, extremely capable graphics card, 4x m.2 + 1 sata storage slot for lots of space, excellent sound/speakers

Cons: base hdd is only 5400 rpm, killer e2200 nic doesn't give a gigabit setting

I'm a student and gamer.
I play games like Company of Heroes 2 and Rome 2: Total War. Look these games up and you'll know that they are massive and require
powerful systems to play.
With this laptop and the 3gb graphics card, you can play both at max settings with very VERY little to no performance issues. While the
laptop does heat up, the hot components are located towards the back of the laptop, and does not make laptop too hot to use during
gameplay. The dual fan exhaust keeps laptop cool ... (readmore)

First Time Buyer, and all i have to say is WOW.
This is a full on Desktop Replacer. Think im kidding? nope, im not.
This laptop has the capability of running a dual monitor set up @ 3840x1080p resolution, AND gaming at 60fps. WITH. EASE!
Its a little bulky, its a little heavy, its a little warm (I suggest you get a cooling pad from Dell). but its not uncomfortable in ANY way.
Seriously, dont listen to the minority of people that speak the loudest and employ gang mentality, saying that ... (readmore)
Pros: unlimited power! (or at least feels like it), does not feel cheap, desktop replacement if there ever was one.

I bought this for my wife while in Afghanistan last year. Over the past year she has used it for multiple projects, gaming, streaming,
and it has been all over the North American Continent. Not once has it failed, and with the HDMI port, it is great to throw on the 60"

There's a review that give this a 1/5 overall because it doesn't have an optical drive. That's absolutely ridiculous. It's true, it doesn't
have an optical drive. But most people don't use discs anymore anyway, I know I don't. You can't review it like that simply because it
didn't come with an optical drive. Besides, the cost for an external disc drive is so cheap nowadays that it doesn't even matter. I'll
gladly take that for the performance this laptop offers.
Now that that's out of the way, ... (readmore)

OK, so this is my first time having an Alienware but I've always wanted one since I was a kid. I ordered it on Jan. 30th with a ESD of Feb
16th w/ next day ship. I received it on the 10th, so that alone made me happy. Now this thing is HUGE, which I kinda like because that
means a bigger screen. Compared to my Dell Inspirion N5050; it destroys it. It ran ARMA 3 like it was nothing and my PS2 emulator like
the original console. I would recommend this laptop to everyone if you are looking to buy a ... (readmore)
