Simply can't fault this tremendous piece of kit! After looking at many reviews on different laptops and having owned Dell laptops before, I knew the Alienware m18 was the one. This is an absolute beast! I was initially apprehensive about the 300 nits but the screen colours are crisp and the brightness is just the right amount.
