I've been using it for 6 months now, but like Cyril, I don't have a keyboard anymore. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to get a new keyboard or not, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to get a new keyboard or not.
The computer is powerful, nothing to say, it runs all the recent games in 2k, very nice fluid screen, but I find it not normal that we receive the computer with software problems serious enough, for my part I lost the keyboard that did not respond for a whole day, I had to put the computer on battery so that it works again and not knowing I searched ..., my cousin took an alienware x17 and he it lacks half of the leds rgb ... And he still doesn't have a solution, for a manufacturer like alien it's a lot !
