Are Alienware laptops worth buying?

Hello everyone,,,

I'm an 18 year old highschool student, and about a year ago my laptop broke, and it's kind of bummed me out. My parents are separated, and this year I built my desktop PC but it's only at my dad's, making it hard if I wanna do some work or play some games when I'm not at his place. I haven't bought a new laptop yet simply because I didn't really have the money, but I do now and I've been trying to find a good laptop that can run simple stuff like Word, etc, and that can run games, both old and new. And other programs such as Photoshop, Unity, Maia/Blender, and video editing software (I'd like to study game design so I'm just getting into it at the moment). So I'd heard of Alienware, had a look at their two most recent laptops, which both look great on paper, they're thin too apparently which would be pretty good, but I wanted to know if they were as good as the website says they are, if anyone has had recurring and big issues with theirs, stuff like that. Thanks!!
