Alienware transports its new M15 gaming laptop to a "thin and light" territory

<div _ngcontent-c15 = "" innerhtml = "

I'm probably not alone in appreciating Alienware laptops for their rugged designs and uncompromising gaming performance, even though the real trade-off was the resultant heaviness of their releases. They are a little built like tanks. Beautifully rugged but not remote smooth. Good news: Alienware turns its new m15 notebook into a thin and bright territory.

Alienware says its new m15 gaming laptop is the thinnest ever produced. Two points of comparison: 38% lighter than Alienware 15 at 4.78 pounds and 17% thinner at 0.83 inches. Plus, I'm a sucker for the slim glasses and it looks like the m15 has lost weight on the sides.

Until here everything is fine. Has Alienware sacrificed performance to achieve this goal? According to the company, not remotely. Despite its leanness, the Alienware M15 should deliver 50% higher gaming performance than Alienware 13, without performance loss, in direct comparison with the old Alienware 15 laptop. In fact, the processors The 8th generation Intel i7-8750H (alongside the Nvidia GTX 1060 or Nvidia GTX 1070 Max-Q GPU options) could give it a slight boost.

The reduction in size and weight is the main feature of the new m15 notebook. Apart from this, Alienware provides what you expect: a high-end magnesium alloy and copper construction, as well as a thermal solution (Cryo-Tech 2.0) that should prevent the components from slowing down.

Another nice touch? This is the first Alienware notebook under 17 inches to include a full numeric keypad.

Bells and whistles are here too. AlienFX RGB 4-zone keyboard (with six areas on the system for lighting customization), support for the Alienware graphic amplifier and control center.

The m15 starts at $ 1299, but you can charge it with a storage capacity, memory and a serious battery. Up to two 1TB M.2 PCIe SSDs, 32GB DDR4 at 2666MHz and a 90Wh battery that, according to the company, can run for 17 hours in slow motion.

You also have some options with the display. The m15 will come with a 1080p 60Hz IPS panel (300 nits), a 144Hz IPS panel (300 nits) or a 4K 60Hz IPS panel (400 nits). You can buy it from October 25, 2018.
