This new member of the Alienware family, Alienware M15 relies on a 15.6-inch screen, integration with Intel’s Core i7-8750H processor, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 graphics, generous 2TB of memory, and the ability to support up to 32GB.
In recent years, Dell’s Alienware line has maintained a standard in the gaming PC line-up, but today the company has released an announcement that will delight many more. More specifically, the company has introduced the Alienware m15, its thinnest and lightest gaming laptop, at just 2.17 kilograms and 0.8 inches thick.
This laptop has everything a gaming PC should have for a truly positive experience and is adapted to the current reality of video games. In this regard, it offers higher performance based on Nvidia’s Max-Q technology, eighth-generation Intel processors, up to 32GB of RAM and a variety of memory options that meet the needs of every player.
Users also have a choice of three display types: a 60Hz FHD, a 60Hz UHD display for higher resolution, and a 144Hz FHD display optimized specifically for gaming. This is the biggest redesign that Dell’s Alienware line has brought to the market compared to its predecessors, which is something that users of previous PCs of this brand know how to differentiate by placing only one device next to each other.
