Dell Technologies has unveiled the world's thinnest gaming laptop and the world's first Quantum Dot OLED gaming monitor as the latest additions to its Alienware line.
Dell said the new releases have excellent portability, improved performance and peripherals such as sound quality, customisable features and ergonomics.
The Alienware x14 is Dell's thinnest laptop to date, thanks to its patent-pending hinge design, which allows the makers to fit more features into the slimmed-down frame, incluidng Alienware Cryo-Tech cooling technology for optimal thermal performance, and its largest capacity battery to date, capable of over 11 hours of HD video playback.
It is the first 14" laptop to support NVIDIA's Advanced Optimus and G-SYNC technologies for optimised batter life when gaming as well as type-c charing ports, and it is powered by 12th generation Intel Core H-series processors.
The x14 also features Alienware's exclusive thermal interface material, Element 31, and comes with either Intel Arc Graphics or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 laptop GPU with seven-phase voltage regulation.
