14 DAY TRIAL // Dell is obviously one of the biggest names that attended the virtual CES 2021 event, and the company unsurprisingly came with some pretty huge announcements.
Among them there’s the debut of the new Alienware m15 and m17 laptops, both of them introducing a series of massive upgrades.
First of all, it’s the addition of an OLED panel on the 15-inch model, with the device now offered with a 15.6-inch OLED option alongside the typical 15.6-inch LCD version. The OLED panel, however, comes with a resolution of 3840x2160 pixels and a refresh rate of 60Hz, whereas the FHD sibling supports a refresh rate of 300Hz.
The new Alienware models are equipped with the next-generation NVIDIA graphics and can be equipped with up to 32GB DDR4 RAM, 4TB SSD storage in a RAID configuration, and an entire army of ports, including Thunderbolt and HDMI.
Microsoft applauds the Alienware upgrades
Microsoft too has praised Dell for today’s upgrade, explaining that all the improvements it made to the Alienware lineup further expands its gaming appetite.
“On the gaming front, Alienware updated its thin and powerful Alienware m15 R4 and m17 R4 laptops. They come with next-gen NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series Laptop GPUs that have been engineered with 12-phase graphics voltage regulation for rich marathon gaming sessions, up to 4TB of storage and faster memory speeds – up to 2933MHz. These on-the-go battle stations will stay properly cooled thanks to purposefully managed airflow and vapor chamber technology included in every configuration – a new advantage of the Alienware Cryo-Tech cooling technology designs in the R4 generation,” the company said.
The new Alienware device lineup will hit the shelves later this month on January 26, with pricing to start at $2,149. There will be two color versions for each of the two models, namely Lunar Light and Dark Side of the Moon.
