Slim, portable design, at least for a gaming laptop. Excellent high-end components, decent battery life. Plenty of ports and connections
Consider waiting a few weeks for the latest RTX graphics cards. Adding better options like the 144Hz screen drives up the price, and the red color is only available in the top-end model
It's not the boldest new gaming laptop design out there, but the Alienware m15 gets the basics right while evolving past the bulky look of older models...

It looks awesome, Excellent display options, Lots ports in all the right places, Solid performance in all games
Bulky for its class, Battery life is predictably 'ok'

The Alienware m15 OLED offers undeniable performance in a package that avoids the pitfalls of many gaming laptops: egregious size. It's slim and light enough to go into an average backpack, but it's potent enough to work hard and play hard. Throw in a dec...
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. But the Razer Blade 15, which is arguably more stylish and just as slim but £200 less? I'd say there's simply no competition...
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
Alienware has long had a tradition of unique laptop designs, and the M15 carries on this tradition admirably. It brings an edgy, sci-fi vibe to your portable gaming, and even though the M15 is probably the safest looking piece of Alienware hardware, it s...
builds on the design and characteristics of previous Alienware laptops, but in a smaller package, good IO, 144 HZ matte screen, stay away from the other options, good keyboard with NumPad, but the shorttravel kind, excellent performance with CPU intensive
some poor design decisions and cheap materials, larger and heavier than the competition, redesigned keyboard and trackpad might not appeal to previous Alienware users, dim and poorly calibrated UHD panel on our review unit, opt for the 144 Hz FHD option i
The Alienware m15 builds on top of the popular Alienware 15 series into one of the most compelling compact gaming laptops of the moment. It's not as small or as light as the competition, but is well built and offers the build quality, the screen options...

Can run a bit hot, Noisy fan, Mediocre battery life, Poor speakers
Alienware took its time to come up with a 'thin and light' gaming laptop, but I'd say that it has hit the sweet spot. The m15 is equal parts flashy and powerful. Despite being different from the other Alienware laptops, the m15 has managed to retain it's...
Great design, Good port selection, Colour accurate IPS display, Great for gaming and creative individuals
Fans get extremely loud, WASD keys get very hot for prolonged use, Glossy border around display is a fingerprint and dust magnet
The Alienware m15 performs precisely in line with our expectations, that is, excellent frame rates while gaming and short render times in both Lightroom and Premiere Pro. Where it falters is in poor thermals, with the WASD keys getting as hot as 46 degree...
