It is! My only complaint was that the Alienware went bad after a while. Awesome while still new, but the gfx cards were no longer supported literally two years after it was released, which sucked. It had two AMD cards that meant I couldn't play most of my games, which means that RAM went to waste and the singular working card overheated like a mofo xD
Still, it was 7 years old and I was still using it!

haha! is your dad rich or what? xD c:

Lol! It was actually Oni's old laptop. He's had tons of them over the years.

It's really sad, as I loved using them, and love how they look too. But it's too much money to have to pay again in x amount of years.

They're certainly very appealing, but compared to other laptops of similar specs, they're overpriced.

I don't mind paying extra If they performed as expected, however yourself and Oni have confirmed otherwise, so I'll stick to my Acer Predators.

You know, I was very, very tempted to get an Acer after your reviews, but they didn't have what I wanted in stock. I'd had some good experiences with Lenovo and like their support so ultimately chose that.

One problem I have with Lenovo is the hardware backdoor dubbed SUPERFISH that they claim is for the customer and to "provide" a/k/a inject advertisements. But it also defeats any and all secure connections attempted by the user. It's banned completely in government because it:

•   Hijacks legitimate connections.
  
•   Monitors user activity.
  
•   Collects personal information and uploads it to it’s servers
  
•   Injects advertising in legitimate pages.
  
•   Displays popups with advertising software
  
•   Uses man-in-the-middle attack techniques to crack open secure connections.
  
•   Presents users with its own fake certificate instead of the legitimate site’s certificate.
  

You can check if your hardware is affected here to be sure.
