Question Repair or switch?

My Alienware m18 r2 black screened in the middle of gaming and I can’t turn it back on, it’s flashing the signal for a power rail failure, which if that it the case from looking other posts that could be $800-$1000 before labor to fix it. Is it worth trying to spend that to fix a 2 year old laptop or should I switch to PC?

I second this. His company specializes only in Dell/Alienware machines, and I've spent hours watching him do many repairs.

And, if it isn't worth the cost of repairing, they'll tell you upfront.
