Intel delayed their main-stream 11th gen Core H performance 6C/8C processors for the Spring of 2021, and merely launched a new sub-series of mid-range quad-core processors at the beginning of the year, marketed as options for lightweight and affordable gaming laptops. The platform is called Tiger Lake H35 and includes pretty much higher-clocked versions of the already existing Tiger Lake processors, this time with a design TDP of 35W and the ability to run at higher power in sustained CPU loads. Asus are among the first to bring a portable 15-inch laptop based on this platform to market, a slimmer and lighter TUF model called TUF Dash F15. This pretty much borrows internals and construction elements from the previous year Zephyrus G and M models, the screen options, and lid design from the regular full-size TUF series, and pairs a 4C Intel processor with lower-power variants of the Nvidia RTX 3050Ti, 3060 and 3070 graphics chips, running at 80-85W.

This 15” laptop not only feels like it meets in the middle somewhere, but is surprisingly portable in terms of thickness.  It’s not even heavy, either.  Before I got it, I was skeptical about the build quality, but even that is pretty good.  Alienware’s decision to finally enter the thin performance-laptop realm was clearly a good one. But there are some things about this laptop that aren’t so great.  In fact, the plethora of small problems make this not the right choice for me.  Some of these are model-specific though, and just because I don’t want it doesn’t mean it’s a bad laptop. See my review below for more details and I’ll explain why. Specs as reviewed – Dell Alienware m15 R4 2021 Dell Alienware M15 R4 Scre...
