Alienware’s design framework, dubbed Legend, is now stepping into its third update of function and design elements that aim to enhance “interactivity and convenience – all while enabling higher performing technology.”

The new laptops represent a shift from Alienware, which typically focuses on 15-inch and 17-inch screen sizes. Alienware says it’s now able to deliver devices with 16-inch and 18-inch screen sizes thanks to improvements in thermal technologies.

Alienware’s m18 is the “most powerful laptop,” thanks to 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13980HX processors, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPUs, AMD Ryzen Processors, and Radeon Graphics.

New thermal improvements increase the laptop’s airflow by 25% and thermal capacity by 35%, allowing for improved cooling to elevate the laptop’s power to 250W.

According to Dell, the m16 provides similar performance and enhanced technologies in a more compact build.

The premium x16 laptop comes with six speakers, a 16:10 display, 100 micro LEDs, new AlienFX Loop and Rainbow lightning mods, and a larger touchpad. Dell says the x16 is superior to the x17 in “almost every way.”

Alienware’s X series laptops include 13th Gen Intel Core HX processors, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPUs, and next-gen AMD tech for mobile.

Alienware’s x14 received a revamp this year, and the new model is called the x14 R2. Its display has 97% more pixels than its predecessor, comes with USB-C universal charging, and is equipped with updated thermal technology.
