Dell on the upgradable Alienware Area 51m laptop, OLED and what's next
It's been a busy CES for Dell's Alienware gaming brand. They unveiled the most customizable laptop we've ever seen -- the Area 51m -- as well as a slim new 17-inch notebook, both of which feature NVIDIA's powerful mobile RTX graphics. And then there's OLED, which is coming to Dell's 15-inch XPS, m17 and G series machines, and it's also the star component of the huge Alienware 55 Monitor. To break down all of the news, I chatted with Matt McGowan, director of Dell's PC gaming division, on the Engadget stage at CES. The big takeaway? Dell is ready to make a big gaming splash this year.
Alienware's lightest 17-inch notebook ever has NVIDIA's RTX graphics
Just a few months after Alienware unveiled its first truly slim notebook, the company is back with a bigger model. The Alienware m17 shares the same refined design as the previous m15 -- slim bezels around the screen, and fewer extraneous case bits that added so much weight with the company's earlier notebooks --while delivering a 17.3-inch display and NVIDIA's recently announced RTX 20-series mobile graphics. And surprisingly, it's only a pound heavier than the earlier model at 5.79 pounds. It's Alienware's lightest 17-inch notebook ever, and it's also slimmer than most of the competition today.
