Abstract: Alienware may just be the most well-known gaming desktop and notebook brand on the planet. The company's gray alien logo graces everything from proper, upgradeable desktops like the Aurora R9 to the huge desktop-replacement Area-51m notebook complete with...
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 an...
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...
No dedicated mouse buttons, CPU performance struggles slightly, RTX 2070 Max-Q performance isn't much better than GTX 1070's on today's games
I still think the RTX 2070 Max-Q is in a weird spot, what with full-size GTX 1070 laptops remaining on the market, performing basically the same and usually priced much lower. And I think this particular Alienware m15 is in an even weirder spot, given the...
extremely high contrast ratio with no backlight bleeding, better-than-average CPU and GPU performance, OLED panel is brighter than IPS SKUs, wide DCI-P3 color coverage
higher power consumption when displaying white, high core temperatures when gaming, no 144 Hz or 240 Hz options, PWM on all brightness levels, loud fan noise when gaming
The Alienware m15 is able to squeeze out more performance than another gaming laptop when given the same CPU and GPU. The Core i7-8750H and RTX 2070 Max-Q, for example, are each 8 to 9 percent faster than the average i7-8750H or RTX 2070 Max-Q in our data...

The Alienware m15 is an excellent gaming laptop in basically every way. Powering through all of our tests without problem, it should be able to last you a few years before struggling. However, the lackluster speakers and trackpad hold it back from true gr...
