TRAVEL LIGHT. TRIUMPH BIG.

The Alienware m15 is the perfect companion for a no compromises, on-the-go gaming experience. It’s a thin and light 15” gaming laptop, coming in at only 17.9mm and 4.78lbs. Incredible display options give you an edge, with blazing-fast, smooth gameplay like the FHD 240Hz display panel, and Eyesafe® display technology that reduces harmful blue light emissions without color distortion.

To give you powerhouse performance, it’s packed with NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ graphics and the latest NVIDIA® technology like ray tracing, DLSS, and AI enhanced graphics rendering.

In addition to extraordinary power and portability, the m15 offers incredible battery life, with a 60WHr battery and an optional 90WHr upgrade, that can keep you on the move with up to a 17-hour life span on idle.*

SEE GAMING IN A NEW LIGHT

Experience lifelike colors and rich blacks during every moment of the game with a UHD OLED display on the Alienware m15. An immersive technology that lights over 8,000,000 individually managed pixels, so even the most chaotic moments on the battlefield feel crisp. Thanks to 1ms response time, you can react with lighting speed to any action on screen.

And with uniform lighting on each light diode, panel edge bleeding is as absent as your opponent’s win streak. By combining the ultra-high definition of our 4K display with the high-contrast and wide color gamut of OLED, we’ve created a gaming experience that refuses to compromise.

DELIBERATELY SLIM. DECIDEDLY SAVAGE.

Survival of the thinnest: At 5% thinner and 20% lighter than the Alienware 13, the slim, lightweight design allows you to roam freely and get lost in the game everywhere you go.

Smaller bezel. Bigger visuals: Designed with our first-ever narrow-bezel display, the slimmer frame maximizes viewing space, allowing visuals to come alive with a crisp range of colors taking you even deeper in the game.

Gaming at a premium: Built with high-end industrial materials like magnesium alloy, the lightest structural metal in the world, the Alienware m15 is meticulously designed for a performance-driven user experience. In addition to its light weight, magnesium alloy improves rigidity, steel ensures tactile comfort and copper in the thermal module keeps the graphics and processor cool.

Low blue light technology: With the UHD OLED display panel comes with first-to-market Eyesafe® Display Technology that reduces the amount of harmful high energy blue light emanating from your screen, without color distortion, to keep you deep in the game longer.

COMMANDING PERFORMANCE

Keep your cool: An outstanding cooling system featuring Cryo-Tech v2.0 thermal technology ensures that 100% of the system's GPU thermal design power is enabled, made to keep your system cool as the action heats up.

Kick performance into high gear: Engineered with up to 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i9k processors, NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ graphics, and up to 32GB of 2666Mhz DDR4 memory, the Alienware m15 possesses powerful performance for uninterrupted gameplay and other activities.

No shortage of storage: Experience faster load times and a quieter system thanks to multiple storage options including an Intel® Optane™ SSD, PCIe M.2 and high-capacity hybrid HDDs with 8GB solid-state memory.

ALIENWARE CRYO-TECH V2.0

Our advanced thermal technology, Alienware Cryo-Tech v2.0, optimizes component cooling, which maximizes overall performance and keeps your laptop cool to the touch. Here’s a closer look at our innovative cooling solution.

Dual-intake, dual-exhaust airflow design: Our thin and light chassis prioritizes performance with a dual fan design that pulls in cool air from the bottom vents, and exhales exhaust out the rear and side vents for optimal cooling of the core components.

High voltage driving fan: The fire resistant, liquid-crystal polymer fan is built with 0.2mm blades, sleeve bearings, and 3-phase fan control to create less friction and circulate air more efficiently. Over 90 unique blades cool both the CPU and GPU.

Load-balancing heat pipes: The dynamics of thermal activity across critical components like the GPU and the CPU are intelligently discharged across 2.5mm, and 6mm, copper-composite heat pipes.

Dense copper fin stacks: The Alienware m15 features best-in-class surface temperatures, largely due to a thermal module designed with 48.6 CCs of copper-designed fin stacks.

SELECT YOUR STYLE

Choose your weapon: Available in epic silver with a satin finish or nebula red with a soft-touch finish, you can choose which look best suits your style.

Color availability may vary by region.

With a dedicated PCI-Express X4 Gen 3 with up to 40Gbps throughout, you never have to worry about the disadvantages that come with a shared connection.

TOOLS GAMERS NEED

Make your presence felt: A front-facing integrated camera offers FHD resolution for incredible clarity. Emphasize every battle cry with dual-array microphones featuring best-in-class speech support from Windows Cortana.

Killer™ Networking: Killer™ E2500, Gigabit Ethernet Controller, is designed to deliver incredible throughput and lower latency gameplay, heavily reducing any lagging or jitter. The optional Killer 1550 allows you to upgrade to up to 1.73 Gbps max throughput for even more high-speed gaming, and prioritizes internet traffic and data streaming with Killer DoubleShot™ Pro.

One port does it all: Access a variety of port options with the Thunderbolt™ 3 port. Its features include a USB 3.1 port, offering 10Gbps of data transfer, a Thunderbolt connection capable of 40Gbps, or a DisplayPort v1.3 output enabling various monitors supporting the Display Port protocol.

Loud but powerful

Was able to snag a new one for a ridiculously low price on Amazon ($750) compared to the usual MSRP ($1700 at this time of writing). My laptop for anything outside of making music (after a clean re-install of Windows on my now-music-only laptop, I'm able to have an even more stable music making experience than before).

I would gripe about how loud it gets (this is even after messing with the fan settings inside the Alienware Command Center). However, given the price I paid & the fact I have headphones on whenever I use this laptop, I'll refrain & stick to being thankful for the steal.
