Alienware m15 R4 review: Screen and Speakers In short, there’s plenty of connectivity options here, should you choose to equip it with things like a gaming keyboard, a gaming mouse, and a gaming headset. Rounding those out is an Alienware Graphics Amplifier port, as well as a Wedge-shaped lock slot. There are three USB-A ports, an HDMI, a mini-DisplayPort, a Thunderbolt 3 port, one Ethernet, one microSD slot, and an audio port. More than you’ll find in many of its rivals. There are also plenty of ports at your disposal. The trackpad also feels nice and responsive, although its presses could be more satisfying.

The non-mechanical keyboard is already excellent and comfortable to use, but if you want the best, you can upgrade to Alienware's CherryMX ultra-low-profile mechanical laptop keyboard with per-key RGB customizations. To be fair, what it does have has been executed well. However, neither facial recognition nor fingerprint scanner is present.

Perhaps I was expecting more from a laptop that could cost you more than $2,000/£2,000 (my review configuration, which is unavailable in the UK, costs $2,155) but it only makes sense for a premium laptop to also have at least some of the premium trimmings.Ī Windows Hello login would have been nice, for example, considering there’s plenty of space around the keyboard and on the top display bezel. Besides, not a lot of people have the time to do per-key lighting customizations anyway.Īs I mentioned, the Alienware m15 R4 isn’t perfectly specced in terms of features. You do have to upgrade to get per-key RGB lighting customization on the keyboard, but the four lighting zones are enough to satisfy any RGB lover. In the dark, this laptop lights up, especially with the oblong-shaped RGB zone that juts out on the back, helping to bounce some of that lighting off the wall to spread the love around. There are seven RGB lighting zones (four on the keyboard, three on the chassis), a lot more than you’d see in other gaming laptops, which makes it a compelling choice for those who love their RGB lighting.
