New Alienware m15 - 2018 with 8th Gen Intel core i7

Getting rid of all the lights is not a bad thing in my opinion, it’s the unknown thermal performance that has me worried.

 

DELL went cheapo and skipped use of Vapor chamber. Not even the cheapest vapor chamber heatspreader for the CPU part was it room for. Go thinner and thinner but not implement today’s cooling tech and same time put premium price point... Oh’well

 

this is the model i would def call a TURDBOOK.. disgusting design language, removed Lights, Ugly keyboard, and what not.

 

thats why i'll jump on razor blade 15 : //

 

umm didn't the new razer also skip vapor chamber cooling?

 

You mean the budget version they made, to be cheaper - yes. I would not buy the new budget razer laptop, it isn't quite as ugly as this monstrosity, but it is still ****.

 

correct and I am digging my xps 9570 right now, glad I didn't wait for this m15 though!

 

While im glad they finally decided to make a more compact 15" laptop, I can't help but feel they really didnt try when designing this unit. I normally don't mind larger bezels. But having thin side bezels and thick ones on top and bottom makes it look like it's a prototype. So long as the cooling is good it should be fine though

 

If it had next gen 2xxx series GPU’s it would be pretty amazing ( I’m sure at some point they will ) but with next gen GPU’s coming up fairly soon I can’t get excited for any new product no matter how good or bad it may be.
Update:
Release has been confirmed for 10/25 in the USA.

 

Sorry but i don't like this new laptop. It miss the classic Alienware keyboard that is amazing. It's a non-sense, better buy a Dell G3/G5 for half the price.
