The Alienware m15 is the company’s thinnest 15.6-inch laptop and boasts a premium design and cooling system to keep thermals in check. The m15 R2 was one of our favorite gaming laptops, and the m15 R3 offers the same design with newer, 10th-gen Intel Core chips. This configuration features the 10th-gen Core i7-10750H, 16GB of RAM and Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 graphics. For storage, you get a pair of 512GB SSDs in a RAID 0 array. The 15.6-inch display features a full HD (1,920×1,080-pixel) resolution and a speedy 144Hz refresh rate.
