== ***Background*** ==

The Alienware 17 R5 was released by Dell in 2018. It was designed specifically for gamers and content creators who desired powerful hardware and a large display. The Alienware 17 series has been around since 2012, and the R5 model was the fifth generation in the series. This laptop specializes in gaming performance, video editing, 3D rendering, and VR capabilities.

The most common Alienware 17 R5 issues were its battery life and cooling problems. Because of its high performance capabilities, extended gaming or video editing sessions drastically increase the R5's temperature and can often result in thermal throttling (slower performance).
