87% Alienware m15 review: Relatively compact while retaining a gaming look
Source: Techaeris Archive.org version
There’s no question there are plenty of slimmer gaming laptop options out there. With its advanced thermal cooling technology, sleek gaming design, and various customizable options, the Alienware m15 definitely meets the criteria for a gaming laptop. While some of the configurations can be pricey, it does offer solid construction, great performance, and comfortable use.

It’s not quite as suave as the Razer Blade 15, which could pass for your everyday work laptop, but if you're after a portable, compact gaming laptop and you’ve got the cash to splash on Alienware, the M15 is a great choice.

70% The First Max Q Gaming Laptop From Alienware Is Too Thick And Too Late
Source: The Verge Archive.org version
In a vacuum, the m15 is impressive: it’s thinner and lighter than prior Alienware laptops, while still providing an excellent gaming experience and surprisingly good battery life when you’re not gaming. But it does not exist in a vacuum, and it’s not as thin, light, well-designed, or immersive as its competition. Even with a starting price that undercuts Razer, MSI, and others, the Alienware m15 doesn’t stand out.

87% Alienware m15 review: Dell’s first thin gaming laptop doesn’t disappoint
Source: Engadget Archive.org version
Overall, the Alienware m15 is a better value than the competition. It's not as light as MSI's, and it's not as sleek as the Blade, but it's powerful and attractive enough for any gamer who wants a more portable gaming rig. Best of all, the Alienware m15 proves that Dell is finally moving beyond the gaming laptop stone age.

The Alienware m15 has almost everything going for it – a stylish lightweight design, the option of an ultra-smooth 144Hz display and enough power to blast through most games in Full HD at 60fps – but it's expensive, especially considering a lack of support for Nvdia's G-Sync technology.

Alienware m15 Gaming Laptop Review: Thin, Light, Dense, Deadly
Source: Hot Hardware Archive.org version
Any way you slice it, Dell's Alienware m15 is a powerful machine, with an easily serviceable chassis, and room to grow. Pound-for-pound it may just be one of the most powerful gaming laptops on the market right now. It's like a powerful middleweight that can step into the ring and go toe-to-toe with heavyweights.

15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
