Deliberately Slim. Decidedly Savage.
Travel Light. Triumph Big: Alienware m15 is more than just the latest in on-the-go gaming. It’s our thinnest and lightest 15” gaming laptop ever, coming in at only 17.9mm and 4.78lbs.
Survival of the thinnest: At 5% thinner and 20% lighter than the Alienware 13, the slim, lightweight design allows you to roam freely and get lost in the game everywhere you go.
Smaller bezel. Bigger visuals: Designed with our first-ever Narrow-Border Display, the slimmer frame maximizes viewing space, allowing visuals to come alive with a crisp range of colors taking you even deeper in the game.
Gaming at a premium: Built with high-end industrial materials like magnesium alloy, the lightest structural metal in the world, the Alienware m15 is meticulously designed for a performance-driven user experience. In addition to its light weight, magnesium alloy improves rigidity, steel ensures tactile comfort and copper in the thermal module keeps the graphics and processor cool.
Commanding Performance.
Kick performance into high gear: Engineered with 8th Generation Intel Core i7-8750H processor, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q design, and 16GB (2x8GB) of 2666Mhz DDR4 memory, the Alienware m15 possesses powerful performance for uninterrupted gameplay and other activities.
No shortage of storage: Experience faster load times and a quieter system thanks to multiple storage including an 128GB PCIe M.2 SSD + 1TB (+8GB SSHD) Hybrid Drive.
Seamless graphics: Smooth fast-motion graphics are crucial when the pressure is high. That’s why we created a stunning and immersive in-game experience with an 15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080) Anti-Glare IPS, 300-nits 72% color gamut, Narrow-Border Display and a refresh rate of 60Hz, for incredibly high frame rates.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It looks great, and feels great, and i had no problem with the laptop overheating or the fan sounding too loud. Its pretty easy to adjust the laptop to your liking too. It has all sorts of different colors you can pick for the keyboard lighting and alienware logo, which was a nice feature. You can change fan speed etc etc. It has tons of ports for you to use. The touchpad is out of this world amazing. The keyboard feels good. The screen looks great.
Ive only had this laptop for 2 days, but my first impression is that i love it. Like i said, i was skeptical because of the reviews on here, but it turned out to be a top end, powerful, gaming laptop. I will keep this review updated if i run into any issues.
With that being said, there may be better options for the price (Lenova Legion Y740, as mentioned in a seperate comment) but this laptop will not disappoint. If you end up buying this laptop, you will have made a good choice. Alienware is known to be expensive for the hardware that you buy, but Dell is reptiable brand that has been around for awhile, and im assuming that theyd have good customer service if there was an issue
REVISED: Today I went to log on to my computer and it froze at the loading screen. After a bunch of hassle I finally get the windows screen. The D: drive is now missing. Have no idea why. After Bios, boot setup, running diagnostics, etc. I took the secondary drive out, and I have a drive reader. Its perfect. Nothing wrong with it at all. I am now transferring all my important files to another drive just for safe keeping. For this expensive of a laptop, to have an issue like this just 6 months in... you might want to look elsewhere. I will update this as I go along, but the transferring is taking forever.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I have been searching for a laptop that can handle Adobe Premiere, Photoshop and play a few games too. I have been using this laptop for a week and it is outstanding. Most of the builds I found were similar but had something I didn't like or was missing a key component not to mention they were easily priced 200-300 more.
REVISED: Heating is a serious issue with this laptop. Even just surfing the next, the fans will kick on and the bottom heats up. I bought a fan cooling system to go underneath and that has helped a lot. The performance so far is excellent, but boy does it get hot quick.
I needed: A great processor, and the i7 that is in this machine does a great job (so far). Easily took care of Photoshop files, didn't even flinch when I was scrubbing on 1080p videos.
Dual hard drives. The SSD boot disk is just what I needed and the 1TB storage drive was a must with videos, games, programs I have to load.
The graphics card is what I have in my desktop so needless to say, its more than I needed but it is real nice to have.
The 16GB RAM was a bit disappointing, but in the next year I will upgrade to 32GB.
All the extra's like customizing your keyboard color, metal plating on the cover, the design is outstanding, and just the overall speed is what I was looking for.
The only CONS would be that it gets warm, and when I was rendering a video, boy did it get warm. The fans are good, and when they kick on it cools off almost immediately. But another CON is the fans can get pretty loud. See note above, had to buy a cooling system... the heating is an issue.
Other than that it is a purchase I feel very comfortable with, bought the 4 year warranty with it so I have worry free computing over the next 4 years.
