Deliberately Slim, Decidedly Savage
Survival of the Thinnest
At 5% thinner and 20% lighter than the Alienware 13, the slim, lightweight design allows you to roam freely and get lost in the game everywhere you go.
Smaller Bezel, Bigger Visuals
Designed with a narrow-bezel display, the slimmer frame maximizes viewing space, allowing visuals to come alive with a crisp range of colors that take you even deeper in the game.
Premium Gaming
Built with high-end industrial materials like magnesium alloy, a light structural metal, the Alienware m15 is designed for a performance-driven user experience. In addition to its light weight, magnesium alloy improves rigidity, steel ensures tactile comfort, and copper in the thermal module keeps the graphics and processor cool.

Alienware Cryo-Tech v.20
Tools Gamers Need
Make Your Presence Felt
A front-facing integrated camera offers a Full HD 1080p resolution for great clarity. Emphasize every battle cry with dual-array microphones featuring support from Windows Cortana.
Killer Networking
Killer E2500, a Gigabit Ethernet Controller, is designed to deliver fast throughput and lower latency gameplay by reducing lag or jitter. The optional Killer 1550 allows you to upgrade to up to 1.73 Gb/s max throughput for even more high-speed gaming, and prioritizes network traffic and data streaming with Killer DoubleShot Pro.
One Port Does It All
Access a variety of port options with the Thunderbolt 3 port. Its USB Type-C interface supports data transfer speeds of up to 40 Gb/s using Thunderbolt 3, 10 Gb/s using USB 3.1 Gen 2, and external displays using the DisplayPort 1.3 protocol.
Windows 10
Start Menu
After its hiatus in Windows 8, the Start Menu has returned. Utilizing a combination of the traditional menu system and Windows 8's Live Tiles, the improved Start Menu gives you more information at a glance, showing notification information alongside your applications and other pinned items.
Cortana
Microsoft's digital personal assistant, Cortana, can answer your questions with information gleaned from both your device and the Internet at large. You can type or even talk with her, if your system has a microphone. Using her Notebook, Cortana keeps track of your needs and wants, and she learns over time to improve her information-gathering skills.
Microsoft Edge
After nearly 20 years, Microsoft has finally replaced its Internet Explorer web browser. With Microsoft Edge, users can write directly on web pages and share notes with friends and colleagues. It also improves the online reading experience by adding a distraction-free mode and read-it-later functionality. Edge also has built-in Cortana integration; you can have her help you find a restaurant, make a reservation, and pull up directions without leaving your browser.
Windows Store
For Windows 10, Microsoft has unified the Windows Store. Now, apps for PCs, tablets, and phones will all be accessible from one place. And with support for Universal Apps, one version of an app can work across all your compatible devices automatically.
Windows Continuum
Windows 10 was designed for a variety of screen sizes and input styles, and with its Continuum feature, it automatically adapts to fit your needs. A Windows 10 tablet on its own requires a touch-centric approach, but attaching a mouse and keyboard will shift everything to a more traditional interface. You can even attach an external monitor to your Windows 10 phone for a near-desktop experience. But it's not just the operating system; Windows Universal Apps take advantage of Continuum as well.
Xbox on Windows 10
Gaming is a big focus of Windows 10. Xbox integration allows for PC players to match up against Xbox One players on supported games, and if you have an Xbox One, you can even stream compatible titles to your PC. Native support for recording with the new Game DVR feature makes it easy to capture and share your gameplay. The new DirectX12 takes better advantage of multi-core processors, giving games a performance boost, even on older hardware. Windows 10 also features native support for virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift.
