A Detailed Review Of The Dell Alienware m18 (2023) Laptop
The Dell Alienware m18 (2023) stands out as a premium 18-inch gaming laptop, marking a new addition to Dell’s Alienware gaming laptop series. It offers a range of CPU and GPU options, reaching up to an AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU, with an additional choice of an AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT GPU. Memory and storage options extend up to 64GB and 8.5TB, respectively. Display alternatives include a 480Hz FHD+ and a 165Hz QHD+ IPS display, both supporting a variable refresh rate to minimize screen tearing. The laptop provides two keyboard options—one featuring scissor switches and the other equipped with ultra-low-profile (clicky) CherryMX mechanical switches. Noteworthy features include RGB backlighting, Wi-Fi 6E, a 1080p webcam, and a 97Wh battery.
The Intel 13th Gen CPU variant of this laptop shares most features, such as build, display, keyboard, touchpad, speakers, and webcam, with the AMD version. However, differences arise in performance benchmarks, thermals, and battery life. The Intel models support Thunderbolt 4 and are exclusively paired with NVIDIA GPUs.
The Dell m18 proves to be an exceptional gaming laptop, leveraging the robust capabilities of its high-performance AMD Ryzen CPUs and either NVIDIA RTX 40-series or AMD Radeon GPUs. These components enable the laptop to achieve consistently high frame rates in demanding games at 1080p or 1440p, delivering a seamless and responsive gaming experience. Users can opt for either a 480Hz FHD+ or a 165Hz QHD+ display, both characterized by swift response times for clear imagery and variable refresh rate support to minimize screen tearing. The laptop provides ample ports, including an Ethernet port to ensure a reliable internet connection during online gaming sessions. Notably, both RAM and storage are user-upgradeable for future expansion. The absence of thermal throttling on the CPU or GPU ensures sustained performance during extended gaming sessions, although the fans can become quite loud.
