Some of Alienware's most popular gaming laptops are in its m15 lineup. The laptops are reasonably thin, have lots of configuration options and often have very powerful top-end configs. It's one to keep an eye on for deals this Cyber Monday.
The two most recent versions of the m15 are the m15 R6, with 11th Gen Intel Core processors, and the m15 R5 Ryzen Edition, which uses the latest processors from AMD. You can also find some fantastic deals on the prior-gen Alienware m15 R4, which features the same selection of RTX 30-series graphics cards and a similar design, but uses slightly-older Intel 10th Gen Core series CPUs.
There are some differences. The R6 and R4 come in both black and white while the R5 only comes in black. And the Ryzen Edition goes up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070, while the Intel-based models can be paired with up to an RTX 3080.
With all models, you get a 15.6-inch display. The R5 and R6 have options for either 1080p at 165 Hz or 1440p at 240 Hz with Nvidia G-Sync while the R4 is available with 1080p at 144 Hz, 1080p at 300 Hz or 4K OLED 60 Hz.
