Pros and Cons

Alienware m15 R6

Strengths

The screen had decent brightness, color gamut and advanced Optimus with MUX switch.
I was impressed that it wasn’t getting as hot on the internals compared to other Dell/Alienware models, I didn’t even have to adjust the TCC offset which could be used to control temperatures at the expense of performance.
The keyboard and touchpad were decent, though I can’t see myself paying $150 USD more for the upgrade to Cherry keys.
Gaming on an external screen with HDMI plus Optimus off was slower than Optimus on for some reason, hopefully that’s just some sort of buy that can be fixed.
DisplayPort output over Type-C wasn’t working in my unit, hopefully that’s just mine.
The keyboard and touchpad were decent, though I can’t see myself paying $150 USD more for the upgrade to Cherry keys.
