Alienware/Ableton - basic functionality issues

One thing to keep in mind: at the end of the day this is a laptop with 5 year old tech. Even if everything is running perfectly, this laptop will be significantly slower in every way than the cheapest new Alienware laptop you can get - the $899 base model of the Aurora 16, which has a faster process

Thinking about getting a 16x aurora for electrical engineering.

To be honest, yes, the Alienware 16x Aurora does get hot. When I first opened it and started doing basic tasks, it was running at around 80 degrees Celsius while practically doing nothing, and while playing AAA games it reached 100-105 degrees (with Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and The Last of Us Part II).

Alienware 16X Aurora overheat

The 16X is just a new Dell G16 with an Alienware logo slapped on it, so it's not surprising to see this. But I guess it's "normal" as long as it's not crashing. Either way I wouldn't be happy with such a thermal impact from such minimal usage.

Archietcure Laptop Recommendations?

I have an alienware aurora 16x for engineering and it’s been nothing but fantastic so far. Great performance has “stealth mode” to not sound like a jet engine in class, and it’s a dell product so if need be the Pitt tech center should be able to work on it. The battery life isn’t great, but it’s not

Is the Alienware 16X Aurora worth buying right now? Is it good?

Do you think the fan noise on this laptop is loud? And have they improved how fast the Alienware Control software runs? I watched Jarrod's review of the 16X Aurora and he mentioned that the software runs a lot slower compared to other brands' built-in apps.
