Alienware m18 and x16 R1
The Alienware m18 and x16 are available in India, featuring the latest 13th Gen Intel Core processors and Nvidia GeForce RTX 40 series GPUs. Dell is calling the m18 “Alienware’s most powerful laptop ever” and the x16 the “most luxurious Alienware laptop yet.”
The laptops have also received a facelift thanks to their new Legend 3.0 design, which aims to make them more ergonomic, and also powerful enough to support AAA games. Moreover, the cooling systems also see an upgrade through the inclusion of the new Alienware Cryo-tech thermal design, which includes a vapour chamber that encompasses both the CPU and the GPU with seven heat pipes and four fans, which Dell claims provides for “25% better airflow.”
Lastly, the display and sound for these laptops have also received improvements from the company. Both laptops now come with a QHD display. They also have support for Dolby Atmos for spatial sound and Dolby Vision. Check out the spec table for the Alienware m18 and x16 below:
