    I hope they upgraded their cooling system better with this redesign of chassis. The size looks good. It makes more sense to pair with Alienware Graphics Amplifier. I like that.

    i like the bottom slim design, but the top bezel size is not balanced.. also the keyboard is bad as hell. they should have sticked with their current lineup, and the touchpad.. and wth there is no alienfx lights anywhere.. this is more like dells gaming lineup... shame to see alienware backing off from my their trademark alienware tron lights etc.. its a bad design choice.. atleast my personal thought.

    Good lord, that shiny bezel! What were they thinking? Shaking my head at the decision-making process that would lead to using a nice, reflection-free matte display in this thing and then slapping on a mirror-finish bezel that doesn't match the rest of the external surface finishes on the machine. Trashy looking.

    That is one ugly machine. What is up with those bezels, yuck. When you have sleek beautiful machines like the Razer Blade 15, Aero 15X or even the MSI, why make such an ugly abomination? You just had to make a slightly thicker/bigger version of those to improve cooling - but did you have to create this disgusting monstrosity?

    This is something I expect from 2012, not 2018. It looks even worse than many of the budget gaming options by HP, Acer and others.

    This new design they have taken a step back from the R3 models.

    Why does it have to look like an HP Omen with the lid not meeting the bottom? I cant stand those rounded edges
