Alienware has unveiled new Area-51 gaming laptops at CES 2026 with RTX 5090 graphics, 240Hz anti-glare OLED displays, Intel Core Ultra 200HX processors, and a new Cryo-Chamber thermal design for higher sustained power.
At CES 2026, Alienware announced a complete refresh of its gaming laptop lineup. The company brought back the Area-51 name with 16-inch and 18-inch models and introduced the Alienware 16X Aurora, a thinner and lighter gaming laptop. All three models run on Intel Core Ultra 200HX processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50-series laptop GPUs.

The 16-inch model is the first Alienware gaming laptop with an anti-glare OLED display. The screen is a 16-inch WQXGA OLED panel at 2560 x 1600 resolution with a 240Hz refresh rate, 0.2ms response time, 120 percent DCI-P3 color volume, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification, ClearMR 9000 rating, and up to 620 nits of HDR peak brightness.
