Dell Alienware m18
With the arrival of Alienware’s new batch of gaming laptops at CES, we’ve also seen the third evolution of Dell’s “Legend” design language. This time, the factory will focus on “form, function and quality”. While Alienware’s new products still look obviously different from other gaming laptops, they will now become easier to pick up, open and close, and also remove the glossy black plastic that many people don’t like.
Among this series of new phones, the most eye catching has to be the m18. It’s Alienware’s largest and most powerful gaming laptop to date. The 18-inch screen is 14.5 percent larger than 17-inch models Dell has released in the past. For those who choose this device, portability will obviously not be the first consideration. What you’re looking for must be performance For this reason, the factory has added the 13th generation HX processor from Intel and the latest GPU from NVIDIA to the machine. If users need, they can also choose the combination of AMD Ryzen CPU and Radeon GPU.
While the thickness of the m18’s body is similar to that of the m17, the larger internal space also means greater heat dissipation. The designer wrapped the CPU and GPU with VC dip plate, and also put seven heat pipes and four fans into the machine, and the exhausting heat efficiency is 25% higher than before. Buyers can choose Cherry MX mechanical keyboards and hard drives up to 9TB, and the screen has two options of 165Hz Quad-HD and 480Hz FHD. The power of the whole m18 system can reach 250W. If you have been tempted by products like Area 51m in the past, maybe it will be the next choice for you.

For more mainstream gamers, Alienware has also prepared a new 16-inch m16. The design and cooling solution are similar to the m18, with optional Quad-HD 165Hz/240Hz or FHD 480Hz displays. This time, the new m-series machines will support NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync, and will also have wide color gamut and Dell’s ComfortView Plus blue light protection feature.
At the same time, Dell also updated a 16-inch x16 for the x series. It has an all-metal body weighing approximately 2.72 kg and a 16:10 screen and built in six speakers (including two upward-firing tweeters and two dedicated woofers). This device is equipped with up to 14-core 13900HK processor and RTX 4000 graphics card. There will also be an AMD version, but the specific specifications have not been disclosed. The factory installed more than 100 micro-LEDs on the back of the x16, and the RGB lights completely cover the keyboard. The touchpad with RGB support is also 15% larger than the previous x17.

Not surprisingly, x14 also took the opportunity to launch a new model. It will feature a 14-inch 165Hz Quad-HD screen, optional up to 13th generation Core i7 processors, and NVIDIA RTX 4060 graphics cards. Its thickness is 14.5mm, and according to Alienware, this is the ultimate gaming laptop thinnest on the market. In terms of release info, the Intel + NVIDIA versions of these new phones will start shipping in Q1, and the AMD version will have to wait until Q2. Among them, the price of m18 is between US$2,099 and US$2,899, and the price of m16 is between US$1,899 and US$2,599. The highest price of x16 is US$3,099, the lowest price is US$2,150, and the price of x14 starts at US$1,799.
