Alienware m16 R1 review (2023)
Alienware’s laptops have, historically, been a mixed bag. They look great and be very fast indeed, but they can also be heavy and somewhat unstable. The new Alienware m16 R1 looks similar to its predecessors, but it features the latest-gen chips from Intel and Nvidia so thermal throttling should be mitigated. The new, 16-inch chassis…

Dell XPS 13 Plus review
We’ve had a bunch of business-grade ultraportables pass through our labs lately and we’ve had a bunch of them disappoint us. This is the souped-up version of one of our favourite-ever portable laptops, though – the Dell XPS 13. Naturally, we expected great things from the new Dell XPS 13 Plus. Specs Screen 13.4-inch, glossy,…

Dell Latitude 7330 Rugged Extreme review
We haven’t had many rugged computers at High Performance Laptops, but suddenly we’ve got two different flavours in our labs. The ‘Rugged Extreme’ Dell Latitude 7330 2022 is a pro-spec unit designed to be used in remote, hostile environments. It looks like something a President might use to set off the nukes. These laptops have…

Alienware X17 R1 review
The Alienware X17 R1 is the most expensive and most high-spec laptop we’ve seen on this site. But will this review reveal whether it’s desirable or a dud?

Alienware X15 review
We weren’t too impressed with Alienware’s m15 R5 and m15 R6 laptops because, despite being fast, there were some significant thermal throttling issues. Now, here’s the super-thin Alienware X15 which is even more powerful. Alienware claims it’s the Elite gaming laptop but there’s some major competition, so how does it fare? Related: Check out our…

Dell XPS 17 9710 review (2021)
The new Dell XPS 17 9710 is Dell’s latest and greatest Creator laptop that’s designed for designers… and office types who want something better than the riff raff has. It hasn’t changed much on the outside for a few years now, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. What does raise eyebrows is the eye-watering…

Dell XPS 15 9510 review
The new Dell XPS 15 9510 looks rather similar to those of the past few years. However, as we’ve learned with high performance laptops, this tends to suggest that a winning formula has been hit upon. So, is there anything overtly new about the new Dell XPS 15 or does it simply have refreshed internals? Dell XPS…

Alienware m15 R6 review
We recently reviewed Alienware’s m15 R5 Ryzen Edition gaming laptop but it has a non-identical twin: the Intel-based Alienware m15 R6. This is exactly the same except that it has an 11th-Gen Intel processor, an 8GB Nvidia RTX 3080 GPU (instead of an RTX 3070) and a lightning-quick 360Hz screen. It also costs $1000 more! So, is the extra…

Alienware m15 R5 Ryzen Edition Gaming Laptop review
We’ve seen some ungodly high performance Alienware laptops in the past. However, at first glance, the Alienware m15 R5 Ryzen Edition appears somewhat more sober and subdued. Is it proper Alienware?

Dell XPS 13 review (Model: 9310)
Dell’s XPS laptops have had a familiar look and feel for a few years now, but why change a winning design? The Dell XPS 13’s milled aluminium chassis and woven, fibreglass palm rest ooze class and solidity that’s married to a nifty design which is reminiscent of an Aston Martin DB5. The latest refresh has got…
