480Hz displays make soft landing in Alienware m17 R5 and x17 R2

Now available with Alienware m17 R5 and Alienware x17 R2 gaming laptops, gamers
will make first contact with brand-new display technology. Our FHD (1920 x 1080)
480Hz 3ms panels bring a multitude of gameplay benefits including animation
smoothness for easier target tracking, ghosting reduction which minimizes
distracting effects, and lower system latency making it easier for you to spot
other players earlier.


1 / 25

While any gamer can benefit from the smooth frame rates this 480Hz panel
provides, competitive gamers that play fast-paced games will notice the
advantages of the high-refresh rates immediately. These panels are enabled for
both, AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-SYNC with Advanced Optimus. Within this current
graphics generation, any gamer who plays popular esports game titles can unlock
the full advantages of 480Hz displays.

Our first 480Hz is purpose-built with premium experiences such as:

 * Advanced Optimus: Automatically controls the built-in hardware MUX to disable
   the iGPU and use the system’s more powerful dGPU, which gives additional
   control over game performance and battery life.
 * ComfortView Plus: A built-in, always-on, hardware-based low blue light
   solution that doesn’t compromise true-to-life color accuracy.
 * Dolby Vision: Brings optimal color profiles and contrast that goes well
   beyond the capabilities of traditional high dynamic range (HDR).

Alternatively, we offer UHD (3840 x 2160) 120Hz 3ms displays on m17 R5 and x17
R2 laptops for those more interested in a higher-resolution panel over faster
refresh rates.

Our first-ever 16-inch gaming panel in a 15-inch chassis, introducing the Dell
G16

The new Dell G16 is designed for PC gamers who need the essential gaming
features and want mobility and performance without sacrificing screen size.


1 / 10

The G16 offers a sleek gaming-inspired design with a smooth, modern aluminum
cover available in Obsidian Black with an iridescent logo. The laptop also
features a 16-inch panel in a 15-inch chassis with a 16:10 aspect ratio to
provide gamers with 11% more screen than the G15’s 16:9 display, netting a
larger gaming and cinematic experience. The larger viewing area is complimented
by 3-sided narrow bezels and fitted with a QHD+ (2560x1600) 165Hz display that
hits a sweet spot between high resolution and high frame rates. Advanced Optimus
allows the G16 to switch between the integrated GPU and the discrete NVIDIA RTX
graphics card as needed, which can help improve battery life and deliver a
smooth gaming experience.

Under the hood, the G16 is equipped with Alienware-inspired thermals such as
copper pipes, four vents, and ultra-thin fan blades to optimize cooling and
maximize airflow for consistent high-end gaming performance. It’s armed with a
12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700H 14-core processor and up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX
3070 Ti Laptop GPU. To ensure your machine is running optimally during intense
raids and boss encounters, activate the “Game Shift” key in the F9 position
which instantly cranks up cooling performance.

G16 takes a few other pages from the Alienware playbook including:

 * Alienware Command Center: Provides easy access to game settings, peripheral
   lighting settings, Dolby Audio, and a game library for seamless
   customization.
 * New Keyboard options including CherryMX: Option for one zone, per-key RGB, or
   CherryMX ultra-low-profile mechanical keyboard, all options full-sized with
   completely customizable layouts.

Pricing & Availability


 * The Alienware m17 R5 is available now.
 * The Alienware x17 R2 is available now.
 * The Dell G16 is available on July 21 at a starting price of USD $1,399 or CAD
   $1,799.
