Dell unveils new Alienware m17 and Alienware m15 gaming laptops, alongside the new Dell G3 gaming notebooks at Computex 2019. Find out whether or not these new gaming laptops are worth the upgrade.
Dell has revealed a number of new gaming laptops at this year’s Computex, namely Alienware’s m15 and m17 laptops, which are now touting new hardware, new features and a vastly improved design, as well as an update to Dell’s more affordable G3 series.
It’s worth noting that the Dell subsidiary did just give its Alienware m15 and Alienware m17 a specs and design upgrade in January 2019, giving those models the new Nvidia RTX 20-series graphics processors (GPUs), 8th-generation Intel Core processors (CPUs) and a redesign of its magnesium alloy chassis, which gives them a thinner and lighter form factor.
However, the new Alienware m15 and Alienware m17 launched at Computex 2019 will boast even more impressive hardware inside and a better design to keep cool inside their even thinner chassis, giving folks with two-year-old (or older) machines some powerful options for upgrading.
Dell is pricing both the Alienware m15 and m17 at the same starting price of $1,499 (about £1,200, AU$2,170) for their imminent launch on June 11 in the US. Meanwhile the Dell G3 15 gaming laptop is available today, May 28, starting at $799 in the US.
Naturally, Dell isn’t get providing more detailed pricing information or more global release information at this time.
What we do know is that both Alienware thin-and-lights are now powered by 9th-generation Intel Core i5 to i9 CPUs, which are among the best processors on the market. In addition, the lowest GPU on hand is now the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 (from the previous model’s GTX 1050 Ti and 1060).
Of course, both gaming laptops will still have the Nvidia GeForce GTX 2060,2070 Max-Q and 2080 Max-Q as the highest GPU options.
