Topnotch build quality, Cooling solution
Cramped keyboard, Color and grayscale accuracy, CPU bottlenecks
The Alienware 15 R3 features solid construction and impressive cooling, but this particular model delivered less than stellar CPU-bound metric and gaming performance because of its i5 CPU. £1399.00 On Dell MOREGaming Laptop Previews MOREA...

High frame rates in most games, No performance loss over time, Easy to access internals for repairs and upgrades, Very fast storage drive
Fits into a normal size backpack—sort-of, Desktop level performance in a laptop, 120 Hz screen great for gaming
Still much larger than other 15-inch laptops, Hinge is an inconvenient eyesore, Mediocre battery life
Two inches makes a world of difference, though. I couldn't see using the Alienware 17 as my day-to-day laptop. All 17-inch machines are huge, but a 17-inch machine that's still over an inch thick and weighs 9.5 pounds? No way.The Alienware 15 probably wou...

basic warranty only 12 months, sound could be better, borderline weight, no memory card reader
Incredibly sturdy construction, clean and sophisticated design, Fairly thin (just 25 mm), Good keyboard and touchpad, Good IPS panel, Supports up to 3 M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs, Not a bad cooling solution considering the form factor and the demanding hardware, S
CPU and GPU underclocked by default, third party software needs to be installed for overclocking, A bit loud under load, Heavy (3.5 kg), G-Sync is optional and most units come with only 60Hz displays, The screen uses PWM from 0 to 99% brightness (our Heal
As always, the 15-inch Alienware 15 R3 is a well-built premium gaming system with some small issues along the way, which are usually intrinsic to lower-end gaming laptops. However, build quality and design isn't one of them. The Alienware 15 R3 continues...

Outstanding build quality, Impressive LED customization, 120Hz refresh rate, Great gaming performance, excellent cooling
Cramped typing experience, No Number Pad, Plastic interior shroud prohibits easy access to the motherboard, TN panel is inaccurate, Expensive for a GTX 1070 laptop
The GTX 1070-equipped Alienware 15 hits the ball out of the park in terms of build quality, features, and performance. However, the 120Hz refresh rate introduces display accuracy trade-offs, and the high price can be a bit much to stomach. Review...

Fast and powerful, Excellent build quality, Great screen for high performance gameplay
Larger than most 15-inch machines, Poor battery life, 1080p display has shallow viewing angles
The new Alienware 15 ticks all the right boxes for a gaming laptop: it's stylish, it's fast and powerful and it's covered in LED lighting. It's one flaw, however, is that it's a little bigger than your average 15-inch gaming machine. If you can live with...
Solid build quality, Excellent keyboard and touch pad, Customizable RGB lighting, Factory-configurable, Plenty of ports
Chassis gets warm, fans a little loud while gaming, Subpar speakers, No SD-card reader
Solid all-around—in its graphics oomph, build quality, keyboard, port mix, and panel performance—the 2017 Alienware 15 R3 delivers a serious dose of gaming adrenaline for the money. Read More...
The Alienware 15 R3 gaming laptop is probably one of the most attractive "gamer" laptops keeping it from looking gimmicky. Backed up by some powerful components it will play games easily but at the cost of noise and quite a bit of heat from its heavy fram...
