Gaming laptops have been on the rise for quite some time now. They offer a beast of a machine with a unique design to go with it. And the one brand that's associated with high-end gaming laptops is Alienware. Globally, it launched the Alienware m15 R3 alongside the m17 R3 back in March. Now, the Alienware m15 R3 has finally arrived in Nepal. Let's take a look at the detailed specs, features, price, and availability of Alienware Area m15 R3 in Nepal.
Alienware m15 R3 and m17 R3 Overview:
Both Alienware m15 R3 and m17 R3 have received some anticipated upgrades this year. They now come with the latest 10th Gen Intel processor and Nvidia graphics. For the most part, both laptops are quite identical, barring the display size and a Max-Q design GPU in the m15 R3. Let's dive deeper into what other major changes are there in this year's Alienware m15 R3 and m17 R2.
Design and Display
There's not much change in terms of the design between these laptops and their predecessors. As per the trend, they have very narrow bezels and the overall design looks really smooth. Moreover, there's an aluminum chassis that should make the laptops sturdy.
m15 R3 Display

m17 R3 Display
Moving on, you get similar options with the Alienware m17 R3 too. Except here, the screen size is 17.3-inch. Oh, and its base display panel has a response time of 9ms rather than the 7ms of the m15. Finally, there's a top-end 4K option that both the laptops offer. The m15's top-end variant, has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels, refresh rate of 60Hz, 400 nits peak brightness, 1ms response time, 100% of the DCI-P3 wide color gamut, and the Tobii Eye-tracking technology. Similarly, with the m17, you get the same resolution and refresh rate. However, it sports a brighter peak brightness at 500 nits, covers the 100% Adobe RGB color gamut, and has a response time of 25ms. These higher-end 4K UHD models might be especially useful for those who want to use their gaming rig for content creation.
Processor & Memory
As mentioned above, both Alienware m15 R3 and m17 R3 are practically the same when it comes to the specs. Both of them are available with three CPU configurations. The options are quad-core Intel i5-10300H, hexa-core Intel i7-10750H, and octa-core Intel i9-10980HK processors. And the memory options range from 8GB to 32GB DDR4 2666MHz RAM. However, if you plan on getting a gaming laptop in this price range, I would suggest you consider the 16GB and the 32GB options rather than the base variant. Storage options range from a 256GB PCIe M.2 SSD to a 2TB PCIe M.2 SSD. However, there's a RAID0 config that allows up to 4TB storage and a RAID0 Plus config that offers 4.5TB storage.

Graphics
Let's now come to the graphics side of things. It covers the standard range of Nvidia graphics. In the base options, you can choose the Nvidia GTX 1650 Ti, or else move upwards toward the 1660 Ti, RTX 2060, RTX 2070, RTX 2070 Super, RTX 2080. And finally, at the very top, you get the RTX 2080 Super. However, with the m15, you get the RTX 2080 Super with the Max-Q design, whereas the m17 features the max performance one. Thus, you'll get a more powerful performance with the top-end m17 rather than the m15. Here too, I would suggest you not be satisfied with the 1650 Ti GPU, especially considering the price range. Interestingly, the Alienware m15 R3 and m17 R3 also come with an AMD GPU option. Sadly, the only AMD option you get is the Radeon RX 5500M graphics. That's probably going to slot somewhere between the 1650 Ti and the 1660 Ti.
Keyboard & Battery Life

Others
The other major concern for most gamers is how the laptop handles cooling. A gaming laptop is bound to heat up. And to address that, Alienware has equipped these laptops with the Cryo-Tech custom cooling solution. It consists of copper heat pipes, vapor chambers, and a dedicated 66 blade fan system. Furthermore, power consumption has been improved to maximize efficiency. Finally, talking about the speakers, the laptops are equipped with two-way stereo speakers for immersive sound quality. Alienware claims that this design offers 2.5 times better bass and 2 times the treble reproduction than their predecessors.
