Alienware, the Dell-owned company renowned for its top-performing gaming laptops, has unveiled its latest computer models. Even though Alienware was absent from CES 2024, it’s exciting to take a look at what they have up their sleeves with the new products to hit the market.
Newly Released Model: m16 R2
A key product in this release is the m16 R2, an improved version of its predecessor. It comes with a 15% trimmer, more portable design than the previous model. One of its standout features is the Cryo-tech cooling system designed to keep performance high even under pressure.
The m16 R2 can either be packed with the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H or the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H, depending on your preference. In terms of graphics, it provides options from NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050, 4060, up to 4070. For memory, it can handle up to 64GB RAM DDR5 at 5 600 MHz and can provide storage up to 2 × 4 TB SSD PCIe NVMe M.2.
It sports a 16-inch QHD+ 240 Hz screen with Dolby Vision and an FHD webcam with HDR. Added features include an enlarged touchpad with RGB lighting and a “stealth” mode for quieter performance.
Other Models: x16 R2 and m18 R2
Besides the m16 R2, Alienware has also added the x16 R2 and the m18 R2 to its roster. The x16 R2 shares similarities with the m16 R2 but comes in a larger size to house the more powerful NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 and 4090. It also brings a six-speaker system with Dolby Atmos and Wi-Fi 7 compatibility.
The m18 R2 offers two display options: an 18-inch QHD+ with a 165 Hz refresh rate or an 18-inch FHD+ screen at a staggering 480 Hz. Like the x16 R2, this model also includes Intel Core i7 and i9 processors, with graphics options up to the NVIDIA RTX 4090 GPU.
When Can You Get It?
The m18 R2 will be available from January 16, 2024, while the m16 R2 and the x16 R2 will be ready for purchase from mid-March 2024. Unfortunately, Alienware has not yet released the price details of these models.
