Dell & Alienware seem to be preparing a range of next-gen laptops for consumers which will be powered by Intel's latest Core Ultra "Meteor Lake" CPUs.
Intel's first generation Core Ultra CPUs, codenamed Meteor Lake, are all set for launch on the 14th of December but Dell and Alienware will be presenting their lineup in early 2024 which should just be a few weeks away from the official launch. Now, information regarding these next-gen laptops is leaking out by the folks over at Windows Report.
Starting with the Dell lineup, the company will offer upgrades across its full range of XPS laptops The Dell XPS 13 and XPS 14 laptops will come with a sleeker body but feature the normal Intel Core CPU SKUs (Raptor Lake Refresh) and NVIDIA RTX GPUs. The higher-end XPS 16 is what will be getting the Meteor Lake treatment along with NVIDIA RTX 40 GPUs. So the lineup should look like the following:
Moving onward, we have the Alienware lineup which will include m16 R2, m18 R2, and the x16 R2. The Alienware m16 R2 will be equipped with Intel's Core Ultra "Meteor Lake-H" CPUs with an RTX GPU, an updated chassis with better cooling, and feature the new Stealth mode which is a preset that tones down the RGB, Display, and CPU frequency and fan speed so that the laptop can be tuned for more productivity with higher battery times. Users will be given the option to adjust the different settings manually too.
Another Intel Meteor Lake-H laptop is the Alienware x16 R2 which is a higher-end variant of the m16 with a more premium chassis and support for dedicated graphics.
Then there's the Alienware m18 R2 which as the name suggests will be a hefty 18" design with the Intel 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh (HX) series CPUs and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 GPUs.
