I just go an Alienware m16 R2. Most of the time, I'll be using it connected to an external monitor, so I prefer to just close the laptop's top/display.

I have an Alienware m16 R2 laptop. I am planning to get a Thunderbolt Hub. Most hubs can provide power to the laptop via its Thunderbolt port. The power provided depends on the make/model of the dock (I've seen from 60 watts to 100 watts). Question: 1. How much power does a Thunderbolt dock need to

I've got an Alienware m16 R2 laptop. It came with one SSD drive with Windows 10 Home installed. I plan on adding a second SSD drive to store user files. My laptop shipped with the BIOS storage "SATA/NVMe Operation" setting set to "RAID On". I read online that other people (but with older Dell lapt

I just got an Alienware m16 R2 with 1 TB SSD. I'd like to add a second SSD (1TB or 2TB). Some questions: 1.

I'm looking to invest in a new laptop that can handle both gaming and productivity tasks effectively. I've heard great things about both the Dell XPS and Alienware series.

My x17 R2 kept blacking out and going to the lock screen while I was typing. Its been an intermittent problem, and the last two days I could not type more than a couple of letters at a time without it blanking and then waking the machine back up. Then I noticed it sometimes blanked even before I hi

Hello, I updated my bios to the latest version about 2 weeks ago and it restarted into a black screen. The power button flashes 2 red and 7 blue. It still boots into windows on an external monitor.

<Alienware user should not post on an old Inspiron thread. Profanity is never allowed. DELL-Admin> I'm a little miffed about this, well so be it. I'm the customer! Okay, so I own an Alienware m18 R1 that I purchased in July 2023. Because I like to keep everything neat and tidy on my desk, I d

I own a alienware m17 R1 I got from my family who used it for a few years already, I'm aware that its not new and its performance might not be the best, but I do not expect it to be this bad, since its just a few years old.
