Dell Technologies has launched its latest lineup of Alienware and Inspiron laptops for gamers, creators, and students. This comes on the heels of the recent release of the new Inspiron 14 laptops powered by cutting-edge Intel and AMD processors just last month.

The laptop features Alienware’s HyperEfficient Voltage Regulation technology for sustained performance during long gaming sessions.
The Legend 3.0 design is premium and futuristic, with softer edges for improved grip and taller 16:10 displays for a greater field of view. The displays of Alienware m18 and x16 R1 have refresh rates of 165Hz (QHD) and 240Hz QHD+, respectively, with NVIDIA Advanced Optimus and G-SYNC support.
