Alienware m15 is lighter than Dell's other gaming notebooks, plus it also uses its chassis space more efficiently. Alienware m15 has slimmer side and top bezels around its 15.6-inch screen, narrow edges that hug the keyboard, and a new honeycomb speaker bar that sits just below the hinges.

The bottom, sides, edges of the M15's magnesium alloy and copper chassis push hot air out, keeping surfaces cool during periods of peak use. Dell also claims that the thermal management system allows for 100 percent GPU wattage, meaning the GPU will not be limited even in extreme conditions.

Alienware m15 offers RGB lighting on its keyboard to achieve a very attractive appearance. Users can choose between an FHD or 4K display panel, and Core i5 and i7 processors along with Nvidia 1060 or 1070 Max-Q graphics, up to 32 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of SSD. Dell estimates that the device's 90Wh battery will last up to 17 hours on a single charge.

The equipment has a power port, an Ethernet port, three USB Type A 3.0 ports, a Thunderbolt 3 port, an HDMI port, a miniDisplay port, a lock slot, and a combined audio + micro port. The Alienware m15 will be available on October 25 from 1, 099 euros.
