This is my new laptop for college work. Missed minor detail, OS is Win 10 Home instead of Pro.

That's a beast of a laptop!
Do you also use it for gaming? :p

I remember some student (When I was younger :'( ) that were playing games on their laptop, when teachers were talking, lol
What are your college works ? Testing some games :D
Yes its a gaming PC. I haven't tried playing games. Installed one or two for testing stability and temp of gpu.
We have to work in a Lab doing our projects. So, gaming during these hours are little tough.

Initially my idea was building a PC which costs relatively same with somewhat identical specs. But, one thing dissuaded me from buying it, Portability. I needed it badly so my ideal choice was DELL which had battery life, better warranty and ADP.
Have the Alienware computers gotten better overtime?
To me, this is my first time buying an high end PC, if you browse through my laptop specs of g500 its a difference of night and day. Nonetheless, I still use my trusted Lenovo G500 for daily usage. AW is restricted to development and gaming purpose.
If you look at NBR forums, Mr.Fox, Papusan and other enthusiasts don't like current AWs and often term them as "TurdBook" Or "BGA #####".
