Dell has stuffed a 110 W TGP Nvidia GPU in a chassis that's thinner than even the Razer Blade 15. Though mostly a homerun when compared to the outgoing Alienware m15, there are a few downsides involving size and performance that users will want to know beforehand.

So more expensive but less powerful than the model it replaces makes perfect sense from Dell :/
Your better off buying a leftover model from last year and saving a ton of money and get better performance.
Dell/AW must think it's fanbase is dumb to think this is a better laptop
Good result in Cinebench R23 multi. Also a very good screen. Alas too expensive.
I found out that if you go to Dell's website and talk to an actual representative, they can talk to their pricing team to significantly lower the price of the laptop. If price is an issue its worth checking out
