Alienware 15 Review

Dell's Alienware division has a history of making attractive gaming PCs, but the team at Alienware never rests when it comes to refreshing popular designs. Last year's Alienware 14 is a distant memory and now the new Alienware 15 is the company's mid-range gaming laptop resting between the more portable Alienware 13 and the high-end Alienware 17.

What makes the Alienware 15 a particularly lust-worthy machine is the range of customization options at a fair price. The most important part of most laptops is the processor (CPU), but heart of every gaming PC is the graphics card (GPU). In this case, you can order the Alienware 15 with a GPU from Nvidia's GeForce 900M line of Maxwell-based hardware (GTX 965M, GTX 970M, or GTX 980M) or you can get AMD's Radeon R9 M295X.

The rest of the hardware is no less impressive, but it's the whole package that makes the Alienware 15 one of the best gaming notebooks you can buy for less than $2,000. Combine great performance with a beautiful display, great build quality, solid battery life, and even the keyboard and you end up with a notebook that delivers fantastic value for serious gamers.

Oh, and we haven't even mentioned that you can upgrade the performance of this notebook by using the external Alienware Graphics Amplifier docking station. In short, this 15-inch laptop is as "future proof" as most gaming desktops.

Despite all that initial praise, we found a few things we didn't like. Read on to find out more.
