Dell Alienware m15 and m17 R4
According to Dell the new Alienware m15 and m17 R4 are the brand’s thinnest laptops. They measure respectively 19.7 and 22 millimeters, with 2.11 kilograms weight for the m15 and 2.5 kilograms for the m17.
Alienware m15 has a 15-inch screen and you can choose between FullHD and 4K, according to this selection refresh rate can vary between 300Hz or 60Hz respectively.
Alienware m17 integrates a 17.3-inch screen with two options also. The version with FullHD resolution gives offers 144Hz or 360 Hz versions, while the 4K screen has a 60Hz version. So, for those who value the extra fluidity of a higher refresh rate more, the best option will be FullHD resolution on either model.
You can choose between Intel Core i7-10870H or Intel Core i9-10980HK processors in both cases, with 8GB RAM that can be increased to 16GB and 32 GB (always DDR4 at 2.933MHz). They have NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series and can have up to 4TB internal storage.
In both versions, we see 68 Wh batteries, but they do not tell us the approximate battery life (that will also depend on the screen and the frequency that is adjusted, besides the use). They also have ventilation with a steam chamber and the m17 R4 has Alienware Cryo-Tech’s own heat dissipation technology.
In terms of input and output ports, both have RJ-45, two USB Type-A 3.2 (1st generation), minijack, microSD reader, Thunderbolt 3, Mini-Display Port 1.4, and an HDMI 2.1. Alienware m17 offers resolutions up to 4K at 120Hz on an external monitor.
