Alienware m15

The Alienware m15 is a laptop by Alienware which is a subsidiary of Dell. It runs on the operating system Windows 10 Home (64-bit). Starting at $1,379.99, the gaming laptop comes in 8 different configurations. All 8 configurations of the laptop have a 15.6 inch FHD screen. It comes in 2 different colours, Epic Silver and Nebula Red.

This laptop weighs 2.16 kilograms. The height at the front is 17.9 mm while the height at the back is 21 mm. The width is 363 mm while the depth is 275 mm. It is 20% lighter and 5% thinner compared to another Alienware product, the Alienware 13.

Depending on the configuration you chose, the display can be either 1920 x 1080 pixels or 3840 x 2160 pixels.

The graphics cards can either be Nvidia GTX or Nvidia RTX.

The laptop has the Alienware Command Center software which allows you to control the backlight of the laptop’s keyboard.

Advantages

Even though it is considered as a gaming laptop, it is rather slim.

Disadvantages

It does not have a UHD display. Most gaming laptops and gaming desktops do have a UHD or 4K display for enhanced gaming. Although there is a configuration with a display that has a refresh rate of 144Hz, 144 frames per second is enough but the monitor might not be clear enough.

Should you buy it?

If you are looking for a computer for school or work, I would not recommend you to buy this laptop since it is very expensive.

However, if you play games very often at home, you might want to consider purchasing a gaming desktop instead of a gaming laptop.

If you play games often while not at home, and you don’t mind a laptop not having an UHD display, you might want to consider purchasing the Alienware m15.
