To test the battery life we put the machine through two real world situations. Firstly we tested the machine while browsing the internet with WLAN enabled (General). Secondly we tested the machine while gaming with SLI and full brightness active.
The battery life under general duties is quite impressive for a gaming laptop, although this is significantly reduced when you do try and game on in it.

What if BluePoint Games’ ill-fated multiplayer God of War project was able to come together and be released? What if most of Sony’s cancelled PS5 games found their way past the finish line? This is an ode to some of the live-service games we never got.

ASUS do some great gaminmg machines too, and they cost a lot less than Alienware, but at least Alienware put a lot of effort into the looks as well, which is important.
Great machine, I own one, been using it now for gaming for a month. runs a bit hot on my knee, so I use it more on a desk.
The problem with Alienware laptops, of which I have had many, is the hinges wear out so soon. If anything needs replacing it is absurd at costs.
