Dell Technologies announced the thinnest gaming notebook PC "Alienware x" series in Alienware history, 16 mm or less for 15.6 type and 21 mm or less for multiple models.... Dell launches Alienware's thinnest gaming laptop Alienware X series
Definitely going to read up on this. If it is a good product I hope they can supply enough for the demand. *Edit* The specifications are very nice. It has good cooling. The temps was my first thought in regards to a super thin Laptop.
I JUST... like JUST... bought the Alienware m17 R4 and I feel like it's a nicer machine.... for less. With this new x-series, you lose a full keyboard (I like having the number pad for work and quickie math) - and the color scheme is only white on the outside with the x-series, instead of mostly white all over with the m-series - if you choose to go with white, that is. The hardware in it doesn't even differ that much. I have a 3070 in mine and 16gb of ram... a 360hz FHD panel and 1TB of SSD storage. And I paid $2,249. So... because it's thinner, cools better, has blinkier lights on the back, and has an 11th gen proc.... it's almost 300 bucks more? Odd... very odd. Never-the-less... I'm sure it will be a fun machine to use. I just think the m-series was a better value... and prettier - if you go with white (Lunar Light).
Thin sells most consistently more than thick would be my guess. When I bought my laptop I wasn't looking for a gaming one but I ended up buying a G14 because it was light/thin enough that I can carry it around at a good price (And isn't aggressively 'gamer'). Also cooling solutions can be rather good even in a thinner package, especially if they let the temps up high for sustained periods, which seems to be the MO for most companies nowadays.
