Long shot, but did you ever get the Alienware 15 r3? I too noticed some recommendations to look elsewhere due to thermal issues. But it seems then most people don't even realise they have an issue, because the system is widely reviewed as a very good and high performance machine. So either the...

So looking into it, from the limited videos I can find, it looks like the Samsung Migration tool literally copies everything from the source drive onto a destination drive that is their SSD. I was a bit confused about partions mentioned in other software options but the Samsung software doesn't...

So I should be ok with that Samsung EVO drive at 250gb? The laptop would come with Windows, Office and a video+photo editor combo (powerdirector 16, photodirector 9) installed plus any bloatware, driver software etc. Would I be able to copy everything over exactly as it is? Because if that is...

If that is the case, I could probably ask for the 128gb SSD included to be taken off the quote, and just buy a bigger 250GB NVMe Samsung drive, and migrate the OS from the HDD to the m.2 SSD? Or is migration only from SSD to SSD The drive would cost around £110, and it would knock around £100...

I know that an NVMe upgrade is available through them. And I believe there are 2 or 3 m.2 slots. One is occupied by the stated 128GB sata SSD. I'm not sure if all 3 support NVMe however. I guess if they don't I could just get an NVMe and switch the sata one to the other m.2 slot? Is there a way...

My thinking is, that for around £75 I could double the ram. And for £100 I could get 250 extra SSD I think as I believe there is a second m.2 slot

I use to think Alienware was massively overpriced. But just got off contacting the support with the following quote: i7 7820HK 128GB m.2 sata 1TB 7200rpm HDD Gtx 1070 8gb Office personal 8gb ram 120 Hz G Sync screen 99w 6 cell battery A year damage protection All for £1500 As far as I have...

Hey everyone I apologise if this is not the correct forum, I couldn't see a more relevant one but feel free to move it if there is one and I missed it. I am looking to buy a laptop in the UK that obviously is as good a price as possible. I was thinking along the lines of one of these types...
