a lot of features (macro keys, eye tracking, etc.), clever port layout, many hardware options, numerous illumination elements, reference-class case quality, handy Alienware tools, pretty simple maintenance, good input devices, very high performance, 120-
high noise development under load, CPU with temperature issues, only 12 months base warranty, unaesthetic fan exhausts, sound could be better, high weight, no card reader
The visuals of the third revision of the Alienware 15 R3 are beyond any doubt (except for the protruding fan area). There is currently no other gaming notebook with such a sophisticated, stable, and well-built chassis. Then there is also the unique design...

Attractive design with lots of customizable lighting. Highly configurable hardware options offer both value and performance. Solid 1080p gaming experience from Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1060. Supports Windows Hello
Heavy chassis with a beefy, loud and largely ineffective cooler. 3 to 5 FPS slower than a similar GTX 1060 laptop we tested. GTX 1070 model can be expensive
Under gaming (Ahes Of Singularity), clocks remain maximal, Very good keyboard and touchpad, very comfortable and quiet, Relatively bright IPS display, with high contrast. No PWM (no flickering), Good connection ports selection mDP v1.2, HDMI 2.0, Alienwar
Relatively high price for the offered performance (but there will be discounts probably), The 2.0 speakers are a little bit of disappointment not too bad, but certainly far from high quality, The Alienware styling could be a little too much for some, CPU
Well, the AW15R3 is a fine laptop, with good chassis build quality, keyboard, touchpad, relatively good display (no PWM), many connection and storage ports (including Thunderbolt 3 and Alienware amplifier port). However, it is pretty heavy compared to som...

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. - MORE: Gaming Laptop Previews MORE: All Laptop Conte...
High quality materials and looks, slim albeit heavy. Good internal temps, great keyboard, has Thunderbolt 3 and Graphics Amplifier support
Large footprint and very heavy for a 15" gaming laptop. Windows Hello/Tobii IR camera is flakey
Alienware laptops have grown up in looks and are modernized--gone is the ultra-chunky and aggressive look. We welcome the modern cooling design and lower heat internals that are very 2016, and the (dare I say) classy looking aluminum and soft touch black...
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...
The Alienware 15 makes the most of its components, and it has a well-designed lighting scheme. Plus, it comes with a decent G-Sync monitor, and it can drive an external display at a high refresh rate and with G-Sync
It's on the heavy side at 7.8 pounds, the battery life is middling, and its fans are loud
A solid if somewhat uninspiring gaming laptop, the Alienware 15 is a good choice when you need fast performance but not the big screen...

Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the updated version of the Alienware 15 R3, refreshed with Intel 7th generation Kaby Lake CPUs. We look at the model with the Core i7-7700HQ, NVIDIA GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB 7200 RPM HDD and a 512 GB PCIe NVMe SSD. There's...
