Check out the marginally lighter Alienware 15 from CES 2015 (pictures)

Alienware has never been shy about packing on the pounds, but the Alienware 15 is actually a tad more portable than its predecessors.

OK, so maybe 'portable' isn't the right word.

The Alienware 15 weighs in at 7.07 pounds, which paradoxically makes it the lightest 15-inch Alienware notebook ever.

It's also 1.3 inches thick, thinner than any of Alienware's previous 14- or 15-inch options.

You can chose between discrete AMD Radeon and Nvidia GeForce GPUs, paired with a fourth-generation Intel Core i5 or Core i7 processor. You can also add up to 16GB of RAM.

There are 10 programmable lighting zones arrayed about the machine, so you can color coordinate to your heart's content.

You'll find the port for Alienware's Graphics Amplifier on the back. If you shell out $200 for that accessory, you'll be able to get desktop-class graphics from your laptop.
