Alienware now makes 14-inch and 18-inch gaming laptops
From 14 inches to 18 inches, Alienware has got a laptop that's small enough to fit in your bag or big enough to take over your desk completely.
Alienware and Dell announced that it is revamping their entire gaming laptop line this week at CES 2023. From super-thin to hulking workstations, Alienware and Dell are hoping their newly designed laptops will catch your eye, regardless of budget.
The M series laptops are the Alienware flagship laptops that come in 16-inch and 18-inch models. That's right, a massive 18-inch QHD+ (2560 x 1600) panel is available in 165Hz or FHD+ (1920 x 1200) with 480Hz in a 16:10 aspect ratio giving you more on a screen than the typical 16:9.
The powerful m18 desktop replacement not only has a larger screen, but it's got plenty going on the hood. It'll be available with Intel's latest 13th Gen Core i9-13980HX processor and 'next-gen' Nvidia RTX Laptop GPUs, presumably something from the RTX 40-series family.
AMD fans will be happy to know there will be specs of the m18 available for purchase with AMD's newest yet-announcedRyzen CPUs and Radeon GPUs. Alienware says its M series it's improved cooling will increase thermal capacity by 35% and increase airflow by 25%.
The high-end configurations of the Alienware m18 will launch "this winter," according to the press release, with prices starting at $2,899 in the US. Alienware will release entry-level models later this year at a more reasonable price of $2099.
The X series is Alienware's thin luxury gaming notebook that is significantly thinner than the M series, with the x14 being touted "as the world's thinnest 14-inch gaming laptop," according to the company, which measures .57 inches thick.
The x14 will ship with an RTX 3050, 4050, or 4060 GPU this winter, starting at $1,799. If that's a little too small for you, there's the x16, which is the 16-inch model starting at $3,099. There will also be entry-level specs starting at $2,149
On the budget side, Dell is releasing its G15 and G16 gaming laptops this Spring for $849 and $1,499, respectively, in some fun colors.
