At Dell's CES 2023 presentation, we also got our first look at the new Alienware m18 gaming PC. In line with the teasers published earlier last month, Alienware has launched a gaming laptop with a huge 18-inch screen after a long time. Alongside the Alienware m18, the company also introduced the Alienware m16 for users who don't want a huge panel. That said, let's check out all the details of the Alienware m18:
Alienware m18 review: A massive 18-inch gaming laptop (with Nvidia RTX 4090)
For starters, Alienware is making a big change to its gaming laptop lineup in the display department. All newly launched Alienware laptops now come with taller displays with an aspect ratio of 16:10. That's also true for the Alienware m18, which offers two display options for its users. You can either choose a QHD+ panel with a 165Hz refresh rate or an FHD+ panel with a 480Hz refresh rate. Both panels are 18 inches in size and offer a response rate of 3ms.
In addition, the panel supports up to 300 nits of brightness, a contrast ratio of 1000:1 with an anti-reflective coating and 100% support for the DCI-P3 color gamut. Alienware is also baking in support for its hardware-based ComfortView Plus technology, which aims to reduce blue light emissions without affecting panel quality.
Moving to the internals, you can configure the Alienware m18 to be powered by the latest 13th generation Intel Core or Ryzen processors, along with up to Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 GPU (150W) or AMD Radeon graphics. This is paired with up to 64GB of 4800MHz DDR5 memory and up to 9TB of PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD storage. You also get dual user-replaceable DDR5 SO-DIMM slots, which is awesome.
