All three will be available at multi-brand outlets from April 1, and on the official Dell India e-store.
Alienware’s Area-51 brand made a comeback in the laptop form factor at CES 2019 and it’s now available in India. The Alienware Area-51m, which is the first laptop to come with upgradeable hardware including CPUs and GPUs, has been launched in India for Rs Rs 2,99,590.
In terms of keyboard, you are getting the best of the best from Dell here, which is the Alienware TactX keyboard with 2.2mm of travel, anti-ghosting, per-key RGB lighting, N-Key rollover, a steel backplate. Plus you get AlienFX customizable lighting for the keyboard, power button, LCD cover Alien head, and a new infinite loop, which is accent lighting around the chassis.
Our review of the Alienware Area-51m is coming soon, so stay tuned to know whether this is indeed the best gaming laptop on the market right now.
Dell also launched the Alienware m15, which is its take on a thin-and-light laptop. The laptop’s chassis is made from magnesium alloy and copper, with a large 15.6-inch display (choice between Full-HD 144Hz and 4K 60Hz panel), and slimmer bezels and less heft.
Alienware m15 has a 60Whr battery pack, which is estimated to last up to 13 hours on a single charge. You can, however, bump that up to 17 hours with a 90Whr battery pack.
