The performance of the Alienware m18 and m16 is in a class of its own, and you can customize it to use any new CPU or GPU. This includes up to 13th-generation Intel Core i9-13980HX processors and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX 4090 laptop GPUs, as well as next-generation AMD Ryzen processors and Radeon graphics for mobile. All of this performance is made possible by a set of major advances in Alienware Cryo-Tech.
The laptops are incorporated with Element
31 thermal interface material, which is now used on both the CPU and the GPU,
with up to seven heat pipes (up from four on m17). These significant
improvements to platform thermal capacity (35% using Full Speed mode) and
cooling pave the way for higher-performance CPUs and GPUs, allowing us to push
the total system power to 250W.
Alienware m18 maintains the same peak
thickness (Z-height) as m17 while giving gamers 14% additional screen space,
enough for a full-sized keyboard and number pad with optional CHERRY MX
mechanical keys, two user-replaceable DDR5 SO-DIMM slots, and up to 9TB of
total storage.
You can choose from 165Hz QHD or 480Hz FHD
panels with Dynamic Display Switching, G-SYNC, and FreeSync. All of this is
supported by structural upgrades both inside and out, resulting in a sturdier,
more solid chassis, as Alienware customers expect. For gamers seeking a smaller
powerhouse, the m16 offers many of the same technologies, ergonomics, design
attributes, and sensory benefits as the m18.
Alienware m18 starts at US$ 2,899 ; Entry model starts at US$ 2,099. Alienware m16
starts at US$ 2,599; Entry model starts at US$ 1,899.
