Alienware x15 Review

Sleek, slim design ; High-frame-rate gaming with RTX 3070 GPU ; 240Hz screen with 1440p resolution

Thinner than, but not as light as, some high-end competitors ; Insufficient storage in test unit and base model ; Hot and loud while gaming

The Alienware x15 is a thinner (but no lighter) redesign of the m15, sleek and still packed with top-end parts and features for hardcore gaming.

The Alienware x15 Is a Sleeker (and Pricier) Way to Game in Style

Starting at $2,100 for an RTX 3060 or $2,400 for a 3070, the x15 offers powerful gaming performance, but it'll cost you.

Sleeker dimensions, revamped design, strong performance, crisp 1440p 240Hz display, healthy port selection, good keyboard

Alienware x15 Review: A Thin, 1440p Machine

It's sleek, it's light, it's powerful. But it occasionally throttles.

+ Thin, attractive design ; + Beautiful 1440p display ; + Good selection of ports

- Runs hot ; - Some thermal throttling

The Alienware x15 is a thin laptop with an excellent display and lots of ports along the back, but it can run hot, which sometimes leads to thermal throttling.

Alienware x15 R1 Review

The Alienware x15 R1 gaming laptop looks fantastic and makes big promises, but can it live up to the brand's enviable reputation?

Slim, sturdy and good-looking exterior ; Great gaming and processing performance ; A fast, high-quality display ; Excellent keyboard

Mediocre battery life ; Not many ports ; Small trackpad ; Tinny speakers

The Alienware x15 R1 gaming laptop is very fast, very good-looking and very well built – and it features a market-leading screen and great keyboard. It isn’t cheap, though, plus battery life and connectivity could be better.
