Lisa Gade reviews the late 2016 Alienware 15 R3 with NVIDIA Pascal 10 series graphics. Both the NVIDIA GTX 1060 and GTX 1070 cards are available. The Alienware is slim for a gaming laptop at 1” (25.4mm) but not terribly light at 7.7 lbs. (3.4kg). The laptop runs Windows 10 on the Intel Skylake 6th gen quad core 45 watt Core i7-6700HQ with up to 32 gigs of DDR4 RAM in two slots. It has an M.2 boot SSD (most configs are PCIe NVMe) and a 1TB 2.5 inch 7200 RPM HDD. It has Killer WiFi and Ethernet, a Windows Hello IR camera and Tobii eye tracking. AlienFX lighting is standard.
This gaming and pro apps laptop is available with 3 matte, non-touch displays. We have the base 300 nit IPS display and there's a 120Hz TN panel with G-Sync and a 4K Sharp IGZO option. Our IPS model supports NVIDIA Optimus, but the G-Sync model does not. The laptop is available with a 99 Whr battery (which we have in our model) or a 68 Whr battery. It ships with a 240 watt charger. The starting price is $1,349 and a desirable configuration is $1,599. Our model with the GTX 1070, Core i7-6700HQ, 16 gigs RAM, 256 gig PCIe SSD, 1 TB HDD and the IPS display is $1,899 at retailers like Microcenter in the US.
