I'll admit, Alienware laptops can actually handle the stress of long gaming sessions, but you better believe they could heat a home afterwards.

From what I can tell, all models of this series have underpowered i5/i7 processors and entry-level GPUs (945M-960M) but HOLY SHIT 16 GB OF DDR4 RAM AND 1 TB OF HARD DRIVE SPACE!

Expect to play all modern titles below your native resolution on the lowest settings.

it's going to run plenty of shit fine. your bottleneck will be the vga, but it's still only going to limit you in terms of fps hits at higher settings.

I've got the same.
Anything up to 2013 on ultra, 13-15 on high, 16 on medium
That's what's needed for hovering at 60, downscaled to 1600x900 if you've got the 4k.
Very solid laptop, only issue really is the heat dissipation needs to be lifted from the back to work pretty gud.
Other then that, it's got a sleek design, powerful cpu and good gpu for a mobile and display is nice as well.
Good choice op I approve.

It depends on which model you have from the series. If you have the one with the GTX 960M you will be able to play most modern games on default settings in 1080p with at least 30 fps.

So as a gaming machine it will get the job done.

If you have one of the cheaper models with the GTX 954M you may have to settle for 900p or lowered settings in demanding games. You will still be able to play the games.

Example games

Dark Souls - will run perfectly
Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain - 30 fps lock neccesary, effects settings to minimum
Street Fighter V - 60fps with med/low settings
The Witcher III - medium/low settings and around 30 fps
Tomb Raider - high settings and 45-50 fps
>>
>>329873746
Basically your GPU is equivalent to a GTX 750 ti.

You will be able to play games in a fashion roughly equivalent to a PS4 or Xbox One, perhaps a bit less as time goes by and optimization for those systems starts to through.

Gaming laptops exist and are pretty damned good now. Except.... far too overpriced compared to desktop equivalents. That doesn't change the fact that they are great for gaming.

My laptop:

Intel Core i7-6700HQ 3.5GHz
12GB DDR3 2133MHz
GTX 970M with 3GB GDDR5
128GB M.2 SATA 6Gb/s SSD (Boot) + 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s

Better than most "Gamers" desktops.

dont listen to the weebs in this board. most think that STALKER and planetside are great games.
>have a y50
>play Arma 3 at max res 30fps
>play skyrim at max res 30fps
>played MGS V at max res 30fps

going to get DS3 & Elite Dangerous, and you can bet your ass ill be playing at max res.

your laptop will get a little heated if you lay it flat on a desk. head over to walmart and pick up a $13 under-vent. my y50 doesn't so much as give off heat or make any noise. the best part is that i can take my gaming/photo/video editing anywhere in my house for 4 hours before i have to begin charging it again. fuck being stuck in an office chair for a solid gaming binge. if you haven't invested in a large capacity SSD, do so asap. an hhd will heat up in a laptop when gaming.

Fair enough, but take note that I already stated that gaming laptops are overpriced.

The point was, there are some laptops that are still great for gaming. If you have the money to burn, then burn it it.

If its a laptop from recently you can play pretty much most games on medium, high if they are pre 2010. Also get a good wired mouse.
