Having only 3 USBs instead of 4 really hurt. Even if the side is taken up by the exhaust of the new 4 fans cooling design. There is really no reason why they couldn't add more ports at the back of the device with this much empty space.

Even though I don't really care much about eye tracking. It is quite interesting Alienware dropped Tobii completely instead of replacing it with software based solution such as Tobin Horizon that Lenovo Legion is currently using.

The absense of ports on the sides has nothing to do with its thickness

Some serious compromises here, still looks nice.

Pretty nice look, true, but at this wattage I'd probably choose Razer. I don't see a strong case for this model, unless reviews somehow surprise me.

Combining "Alienware" with "thin and light" always have much compromise.

Less powerful but heavier than previous model?

"Ultrathin gaming" probably isn't the first thing that comes to mind when you think "Alienware". Dell is looking to change all that this year by launching the thinnest gaming laptop the company has ever made.
