Customers are mixed about the fit of the laptop. Some mention that it fits their full sized card just fine, while others say that it won't fit larger graphics cards like the GTX 1080 Ti.

29 customers mention7 positive22 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the stability of the laptop. They mention that it's a janky piece of hardware, poorly constructed, and feels a little cheap.

"...when you first open it you think you might break it, but it's just hard to open." Read more

17 customers mention5 positive12 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the noise produced by the notebook computer. They mention that it's very noisey at idle, and way too loud when temperatures rise. The fan and the power supply in the graphics amplifier are loud, and the PSU emits a loud whine when you load a game.

Works flawlessly (When setup properly)
PRO:The Alienware Graphics Amplifier paired with an MSI RTX 2070 Super works incredibly well. Borderlands 3 runs between 50 and 60 fps at 1440p maxed out. The performance from the amplifier to the laptop display do not appear to show any performance loss (at least to me) compared to something like a Thunderbolt dock (due to its limitations of bandwidth). This combination runs Monster Hunter World at 1440p with DLSS on at 80 frames per second. I haven't tested this with an external monitor yet.CON:The only flaw I can think of is: RTX cards fit snug into the amplifier (The ones that "CAN" fit). The height of the MSI RTX 2070 Super needs leverage placed on top of the amplifier to allow it to close fully (compared to taking the card out and attempting to close it and slide the switch to lock it closed). Ensure the graphics card you purchase is shorter than 10.5" in length (not height), otherwise it will hit the closing mechanic on the amplifier.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alienware 4C06C Amplificador Grafico, Una compra magnífica!
Reviewed in Mexico on September 26, 2020
Tengo una ALIENWARE 17R3 con una tarjeta gráfica de 970, pero necesitaba aún mas rapidez en cuestión de gráficos, soy arquitecto y trabajo con programas demasiado pesados, además, me gusta jugar en mis tiempos libres en simuladores como el Flight Simulator que exige muchos gráficos, esto me vino de lujo sin tener que cambiar mi pc por una ALIENWARE nueva.

El Amplificador viene super bien empacado, cuenta con todos sus cables y en mi caso compre una RTX 2060 de MSI y le quedo perfecta, batallé un poco para cerrar el cajón pero era cuestión de acomodar bien mi tarjeta gráfica.

Contiene en el paquete:

*Soportó gráficos 4K.
*Hasta ahora el rendimiento ha sido espectacular, claro con su correspondiente tarjeta gráfica (que se compra aparte).
*No necesité de actualizar todo el sistema para que la reconociera, solo descargue el driver en Dell y listo reinicié y la reconoció.
*Cuando ya esta conectado el cable especial de ALIENWARE encienden ambas cabezas de un color blanco.
Se puede cambiar la luz led de color desde el Alienware FX.
*Trae su cable ALIENWARE especial.
*Cable de corriente.

Todo excelente, muy recomendable.

I just bought this graphics amplifier and its working brilliantly with my alienware 15 r2 which i bought late 2016.iam using the asus gtx 1070 8gb pascal graphics and all the latest editions of the game i can play with the maxed out settings at ULTRA settings at almost 65FPS.yes portability is a hinderance for this product but if you are planning to keep it docked somewhere for a long time then i think it just works fine.all you need to do is you should get slightly bigger luggage bag.its not that big and for me its portable as iam a sailor and would like to play all the latest editions with the maxed out settings in the middle of the ocean.This product is brilliant.
