This year, Alienware has taken a big step forward with the build quality of the new M-series laptops. This includes the bright, alien head logo on the lid and keyboard deck, the latter doubling up as the power button, the hexagonal exhaust grille above the keyboard and the Stadium LED strip surrounding the rear ports. Design and KeyboardĪlienware laptops have traditionally been aesthetically striking, and the 2023 M16 R1 has all the expected Alienware design cues. If you want the 420Hz FullHD+ or 240Hz QHD+ screen, you must downgrade to the RTX 4080 GPU in the UK, although that’s seemingly not the case in the USA. At the other end of the scale, £5129/$4599 gets you a Core i9 13900HX chip, RTX 4090 GPU, 8TB of storage, and 64GB of RAM, but, oddly, only the entry-level 165Hz display. That gets you a Ryzen 7 7745HX CPU, RTX 4060 GPU, a 1TB SSD, 16GB of RAM and a 165Hz display. The effect this can have on price is dramatic. These include four CPUs (two Intel, two AMD), five GPUs (four Nvidia, one AMD), two keyboards, three displays, and more memory and storage options than you can shake a stick at. Now we have the Alienware alternative, another 16-inch machine called the M16, powered by one of AMD’s most recent and much-praised Dragon Range CPUs.īeing an Alienware machine means you have access to many options at purchase.
ROG was first out of the gates with an RTX 40-series 16-inch gaming laptop in the form of the Strix Scar 16. There are alternatives, but for dyed-in-the-wool thoroughbred gaming, ROG and Alienware are the default choices. If you are in the market for a hard-core gaming laptop and money isn’t an issue, chances are you are looking at something with an Asus ROG or a Dell Alienware badge.
