Updated 2.27: The laptop is Alienware's latest design and represents a change in their typical laptop releases, in that this model is fully upgrade-able. It also includes a desktop spec CPU. See below the pictures for the specs as configured. My plan is to replace my current Alienware 17 model and the Alienware graphic extender running a 1080 ti card with this laptop. Eventually my plan is to replace the CPU in a year (Post paying it off haha) and also look to see what Graphic cards are available in a year as well. Currently the laptop has 2080 card installed.

As I get it configured, I will add some benchmarks to 2nd post.

Updates so far: Upgraded the memory to 64 GBs. Installed two 1TB 970 EVO Plus NVME m.2 drives.

Its been a year now and i upgraded the laptop by going to 2080 TI using the Alienware graphic amp.

I like that the laptop lets me use both 2080 internal and 2080ti external card at the same time. So i now have plenty of ports for monitors. I currently use 3 monitors, 1 laptop screen and on occasion my HDMI TV. I modified the AGA to make the card fit. I also replaced the PSU to 850W model.
