Alienware M17 R3

[Maldax]

Dell have decided to swap out my Alienware M17 R1 for a R3 because of various issues with it. Has anyone got a R3? is it any good?

I have a 13R3 that I'm pretty happy with. Got it on Dell Outlet really cheap in 2016 with the same warranty and an affordable option to extent. Alienware warranty customer support is robust (Dell general, not so much), and all of these things perform and cool like heroes. 

 

This one has a 9750H, RTX 2070 MaxQ, 16GB RAM, and 256gb NVMe boot + a 1TB SSHD all for $1650.

Thanks heat is the main problem I have had with this one and its started to get silly...TBH I think they know there is a problem with this spec as they were very quick to offer a swap

 

Should be interesting though
