Alienware m15 Gaming Laptop Review: Leaner and Meaner

[AndrewFreedman]

This is the company’s first truly thin gaming machine. While it has a thinner design, it still gets strong performance with an overclocked Intel Core i7-8750H and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q GPU.

Very good

.8 inches is thin ... but ... 5.2 pounds is not light. How much does the absolutely required power supply weigh? I want to know the REAL travel weight.

If it's running hot under normal use, like games that it should be designed for, then it's useless.

I like this laptop it seems very complete, I have a question the temperatures are higher than the competition, Asus, Razer Blade and Msi

Have a previous Alienware m15. (9750, 1660ti, 16gb, 256gb m.2 & 1tb HD) Using it as a portable workstation with now 32gb ram, 2tb m.2 & 4tb Samsung SSD. Dual-boot with Linux Mint 19.2. Seems like end of line for m15 for me. Could live with dual m.2 but not 16gb of ram. Seems too much emphasis on thin and locked down hardware. I know I saved thousands upgrading on my own. I don't game seriously. At 60 years old I've been a modding computers since my Atari 800 but the last m15 was an excellent combination of power, size and battery life for me. The ease of upgrade will be missed.

Hi, was a bit confused. The title shows it having a RTX 2060 at around $1k, but the review model is the $1700 one. On Amazon it shows the price and link with the older GTX 1060. Was this just a sale that happened and I missed it?
