About the Alienware M15
The Alienware M15 belongs to Alienware's M11x, M15x and M17x: an early Alienware gaming laptop. It dates from 2009 to 2011. It has a 15-inch screen, so there's room inside for a full keyboard, better cooling and easier upgrades.
Its memory and hard drive are removable, so upgrades are straightforward. Many parts for laptops of this age are no longer made, so we use tested replacement parts and repair at component level when a part can’t be found.
