At an event in New Delhi, Dell Technologies today launched the new Alienware and Inspiron laptops. The Alienware m18 and x16 R1 Gaming Laptops come with 13th Gen Intel Core processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs. These gaming notebooks have a new look thanks to the Legend 3.0 design, which makes them easier to hold and open while still providing the power required to play your favourite AAA titles. These laptops come with Alienware Cryo-tech thermal design, which includes a vapour chamber that covers the CPU and GPU, seven heat pipes, and four fans for 25% better airflow.
The Alienware m18 features up to 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13980HX processors and the full stack of next-gen NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series Laptop GPUs. It maintains the same peak thickness (Z-height) as m17, while giving gaming enthusiasts 14% more room on-screen and storage capacity of upto 9TB. The 18 inch display comes with a 165Hz (QHD)refresh rate with NVIDIA Advanced Optimus and G-SYNC support.
The Alienware x16 which has 16 inch screen, is a portable machine and features a 6-speaker setup including two up firing tweeters for clarity and a dual woofer configuration for strong bass. Complimented by the best AlienFX experience, x16 now boasts 100 micro-LEDs on the rear stadium and is the first Alienware laptop enhanced with new AlienFX Scanner, Loop, and Rainbow lighting mods. The laptop also includes Alienware’s HyperEfficient Voltage Regulation technology, which can regulate graphics voltage up to 12-phases for sustained performance over long gaming sessions.
Salient Features of Alienware m18 and x16:

- Taller 16:10 displays usher in more screen real estate for a greater field of view. While the display of Alienware m18 has a 165Hz refresh rate (QHD), the x16 R1 has a 240Hz QHD+ display capable of a 3ms response time with NVIDIA Advanced Optimus and G-SYNC support
