Alienware unveils completely redesigned M16 gaming laptop at CES 2024

gamesradar.com:

A new year brings a whole new crop of Alienware gaming laptops to the CES showfloor and 2024 isn't disappointing. Dell is showing off three new devices this year; the Alienware M16 R2, Alienware x16 R2, and the massive Alienware M18 R2. 

While the biggest changes have hit the M16 R2, there are still incremental upgrades to the more expensive X16 and M18 lines in here. Between a jump to Intel's Core Ultra and 14th generation processors and additional storage options there's a solid amount for new buyers to be aware of in these latter two models, though the overall developments are less exciting than that of the M16.

With a smaller footprint and a far more portable form factor, everything's ticking in the right direction away from the cumbersome juggernauts we've been reviewing for years in a row.

We'll kick off with the biggest changes to the lineup. The Alienware M16 R2 has been redesigned for 2024, aiming to provide players with the more portable form factor the machine has been crying out for over the last few years. That shelf towards the rear of the machine is completely gone - a massive relief for anyone after the power of Alienware without the unnecessary extra bulk. Overall, the footprint has been reduced by 15% while also upgrading the internals to Intel's Ultra H Series processors. 

There's a drawback to this more portable design, though. The new Alienware M16 R2 will only be configurable with Nvidia's RTX 40-Series graphics cards up to an RTX 4070. The
