CES 2023: New Windows 11 gaming laptops arrive with Alienware m18, x16 and Dell G15
Gamers looking to level up now have more options, thanks to Windows 11 PCs introduced at CES 2023 by Dell and Alienware. And with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate [1] built in through the Xbox app, players can access hundreds of PC games. Game Pass on Windows 11 takes advantage of features like DirectX 12 Ultimate, DirectStorage, Auto HDR and Controller bar [2] to make playing easier and faster.
Alienware’s most powerful laptop, the m18, has 13th Gen Intel Core HX processors that harness up to 65W (compared to previous-gen 45W), the full stack of NVIDIA GeForce Next-Gen Laptop GPUs and dual user-replaceable DDR5 SO-DIMM slots. Additionally, AMD Advantage models will be powered by next-gen AMD Ryzen Processors and Radeon Graphics for mobile.
The X Series laptops, Alienware’s flagship brand, introduced a new size: the 16-inch x16, its first since 2004.

It comes with a taller 16:10 display and an improved six-speaker design, part of a spatial audio experience. This laptop comes with 100 micro-LEDs and is the first Alienware laptop enhanced with the new AlienFX Scanner, Loop and Rainbow lighting mods. The illuminated RGB touchpad is now 15% larger (than the one found on the x17 R2).
The x16 features the latest technologies including 13th Gen Intel Core HX processors, NVIDIA GeForce Next-Gen Laptop GPUs and next-gen AMD technology for mobile.
Dell’s new G15 gaming laptop is a top-notch entry-level PC for gaming enthusiasts, with colors appealing to ‘80s pop aesthetics. It comes with exclusive gaming function macro keys and toggle audio keys to enhance the player experience. It supports graphic-intensive games with ease and consistency, even in marathon sessions, powered by the latest Intel, AMD and NVIDIA technology for immersion into your favorite games.
