Alienware m15

 

The Alienware m15 is the company's sleekest, lightest gaming laptop - though it's still packing a Core i7 and GTX 1070. Here's how it stacks up against its bigger brothers and rival portable gaming laptops.

Alienware M15 review

 

Can Alienware's Max-Q enabled M15 make light work of gaming on the go?

Silky smooth, vibrant display ; Runs the latest games like a dream ; Edgy design ; Light, compact and portable

Can run quite hot ; Fan can be noisy ; Gaming hugely impacts battery life

Lightweight and portable, but still a beast of a gaming laptop

Alienware m15 review: A heavy-hitting laptop for gaming on-the-go

 

The Alienware m15 is fast and powerful but it's also mighty pricey

Well-built ; Pretty in red ; Great gaming performance

Fans get noisy ; Pricier than rivals

It’s true that the Alienware m15 packs a heavy performance punch and it’s also a fact that this is one slim 15in gaming machine. The trouble is for Dell is that there are several alternative laptops out there with near-identical specifications and much...

Alienware m15 R2 review: The best-looking Alienware laptop yet

 

The Alienware m15 R2 has been overhauled with the company's Legend industrial design and it is unlike any other notebook in the market.

Stylish and unique design ; Excellent build quality ; Good gaming performance ; One of the few gaming laptops to offer Tobii eye tracking

Expensive ; Mediocre battery life ; Fans get really noisy ; Thermal performance could be better

Alienware m15 (2019) review

 

Alienware's new m15 (2019) is an absolutely stunning laptop that looks unique, yet doesn't look gaudy. You'll lust after it the moment you see it. But does its performance hold up? Our Alienware m15 review takes an exhaustive look.

It looks awesome ; Excellent display options ; Lots ports in all the right places ; Solid performance in all games

Alienware m15 R2 (2019, OLED)

 

More exciting in function and design than the original, Alienware's m15 R2 gaming laptop delivers serious frame-rate juice and state-of-the-art features, including, in our test unit, a stellar 4K OLED display.

Refreshing new visual design. Slim, generally solid-feeling chassis. Stunning 4K OLED display. Easily capable of 60fps gaming at resolutions below 4K. Plenty of ports and useful extra features.

Design won't blend in, if you'd rather it did. Tobii eye tracking hardware minimally useful for most users, but tied to certain display options. Okay, but underwhelming, keyboard and touchpad feel.

Bottom Line: More exciting in function and design than the original, Alienware's m15 R2 gaming laptop delivers serious frame-rate juice and state-of-the-art features, including, in our test unit, a stellar 4K OLED display.

The company's thinnest 15.6-inch gaming laptop gets slimmed down even more, but isn't lacking in graphics performance, display speed or sports car styling.

The Alienware m15 R2 is a beautiful thin-and-light gaming laptop that can be configured with all the components you need to play the latest AAA games at the best graphics settings.

RAM can't be increased post-purchase. The laptop runs really hot at peak performance. Alienware's control software needs work. And, yes, the m15 R2 is expensive.

Alienware's m15 R2 delivers immersive gaming performance in a thin, vibrant design that looks like the future of portable gaming. Just make sure you give it plenty of room to breathe.

Alienware m15 R2 review: Power in a stylish and portable package

 

Alienware's redesigned m15 R2 is a gorgeous laptop that puts out impressive performance—though you should probably opt for the OLED upgrade.

Redesigned look is properly futuristic and eye-catching ; Excellent battery life ; OLED option is already cheaper than it was a few months ago

White finish isn't very durable ; Small trackpad ; Rear-facing ports can be inconvenient in cramped spaces

Here’s the part where I usually give you a purchase recommendation, but I always find that harder when it comes to these high-end laptops. The Alienware m15 R2 performs as advertised, a powerful machine stuffed into a stylish and portable package. It’s...

Alienware m15 review: Relatively compact while retaining a gaming look

 

Our Alienware m15 review takes a look at a gaming laptop which features a 15.6” screen in a relatively compact form factor while still retaining that gaming laptop look.

Sleek gaming design ; Soft touch finish on lid and palm rest ; Comfortable, responsive typing and touchpad ; Great performance as tested ; RGB lighting ; Full numeric keypad ; Plenty of configurations/customization options

Mediocre battery life ; Thicker than alternatives ; Some configurations pricier than competition
