Alienware’s new laptop comes with a high-end build and nice lighting. So, it seems that we will have another great laptop delivered by this famous factory.
Key Points
Customers will be able to buy the new Alienware 15 R3 at the price of 1.224 dollars. This new laptop comes as an upgrade to the 15-inch model that was released in 2015.
Alienware 15 R3 comes with a few changes, for example component upgrades, few design tweaks and many others.
However, customers should know that they will be able to opt for even more powerful components, but they will have to pay a higher price.
For example, at the price of 2.500 dollars, customers will receive a Core i7 Kaby Lake processor, and a GTX 1070 graphics card. Moreover, they will receive a 1080p screen, which is a little bit disappointing.
Why?
Because, customers will be able to opt for the HP Omen 17, which has the same graphics, but for approximately 500 dollars less.
Yes, we think that the HP Omen 17 offers a better balance between the price and the components that it has inside.
But, let’s not forget that we are talking about Alienware here. This new laptop comes with a lot of power and a premium build. So, customers who are fans of this brand and its products will definitely go for this model no matter the price.
Customers should know that the new Alienware 15 R3 has a very decent design and it is the perfect match between a modern design and a gaming laptop.
The new Alienware 15 R3 is built on the outside of anodized aluminum and magnesium alloy, which means that it feels very solid.
Moreover, this laptop measures 1 x 15.3 x 12 inches and it weighs approximately 7.7 pounds.
This means that the new Alienware 15 R3 is a little bit thinner than the last model, which measures 1.34 x 15.2 x 10.66 inches. Moreover, another interesting fact is that this laptop is thinner and lighter than other competitors on the market, for example the Acer Predator 15 and the HP Omen 17.
We should not hide the fact that this new Alienware 15 R3 is a gaming laptop. This means that even if it has an elegant design, it still has those bright lightings that characterize gaming laptops.
So, the new Alienware 15 R3 comes with chassis lightning, which offers a great mix with the black and silver design. Moreover, the sides of the device are trimmed with LED strips, another great touch of design made by Alienware.
In the end, the alien head is situated on the lid and it actually glows. To be added that the new Alienware 15 R3 comes with the company’s Command Center software, which will allow users to customize lightning in 12 spots. Some of those spots are the touchpad, separate portions of the keyboard, and the side lights.
The connectivity options on this laptop are also very good. Customers will find on the left side a USB-C port, a USB 3.0 port, an audio out line, and a headphone jack. On the right side, they will find a single USB 3.0 port.
On the back, customers will find a USB-C port, an HDMI port, an Ethernet jack, and the power adapter.
