Just like the m15 we reviewed earlier this summer, the m15 R2 has top-notch hardware and performance to prove it. Battery life is the lone blemish on an otherwise impressive piece of kit. The OLED display should be standard, even with the concessions that 4K gaming requires. The software bugs, cooling problems, and almost every other issue I had with its predecessor have been worked out, making the Alienware m15 R2 one heck of a gaming laptop.

Alienware’s redesigned m15 R2 is a gorgeous laptop that puts out impressive performance—though you should probably opt for the OLED upgrade.
