Alienware launches the “thinnest gaming laptops it has ever created”
Dell has reconfigured, tweaked, and upgraded its Alienware m17 and Alienware m15 laptops into a gaming range that’s thinner and lighter than ever before. These slim machines pack a punch despite their compact size and now come fitted with Intel 9th Gen CPUs, Nvidia RTX 20-series or GTX 16-series GPUs, and integrated Tobii eye tracking.
The m15 and m17 are now Alienware’s thinnest and lightest to date coming in at just 4.7lbs and 5.8lbs, respectively. But despite the slender design the company says it was able to increase airflow and air efficiency on both models. The m15 is able to gobble up 20% more air as a result of the internal tinkering, and the larger m17 receives 25% greater airflow efficiency around its core components.
And fan size has similarly been increased to aid both the CPU and GPU in dealing with the heat - a welcome upgrade over the last gen models. Last year’s Alienware m17 ran particularly toasty, hitting 99°C in our testing, so hopefully the new changes with Cryo-Tech 3.0 have addressed that issue.
