Review Alienware m16 R2 review: Now more mainstream

My old Alienware Had died. I got a new one. It's nice, but they change things toward the stupid. It works fine but I'm using a 34" curve screen. I haven't looked at the laptop screen too hard to see if there is a problem. The problem I have is for some reason they put the shift character above the letters. The shift characters are not backlighted. If you turn on the backlighting the shift characters are washed out. So I don't use the backlighting. And no I'm not a touch type.
My biggest problem the laptop would get warm on my lap so I would move it around. The next day I found I had first deg burn on top of my leg. I had blisters. It's the old frog in the frying pan and slowly turns up the heat. There was no pain. Just uncontable. It needs to be on a tabletop or writing board.
I now use it on a table with the curve monitor.
