Following the release of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 series mobile GPUs and Intel’s Tiger Lake H45 CPUs, Dell has also followed up with a round of hardware refresh towards its casual and dedicated gaming products.
First on the list is the entry-level Dell Gaming G15 laptop that has received a AMD counterpart last month but this time the refreshment brought by Intel should leverage the play ground to an equal state. Additionally, it can be safely assumed that the thermal redesign and paint job has been carried over as well and be applied towards future G15 models as well.

Similar to the G15, the 6th revision also as known as the Alienware m15 R6 will also be packing high-performance silicon especially with the 115W RTX 3060 that could give some of the more GPU intensive titles a run of their money. Of course, with the latest Intel CPU, there is a Thunderbolt 4 port that allows you to do all sorts of docking and power delivery setup, perfect for both gaming and casual use.

Dell is also reportedly going to reveal a brand new Alienware series dubbed the X-Series gaming laptop which essentially pushes the ceiling of premium laptop gaming even further to satisfy all fans with unlimited budget who seeks absolute performance in computing and thermals. The first X-Series product is going to be the X17 and it will feature an all-new cooling solution to tame the internals while staying relatively thin and light which will be brought forward to other Alienware products in the future. For all we know, it will be packed with a Intel Core i7 CPU (presumably the i7-11800H), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, 17-inch display, 16GB of RAM, 512GB of PCIe storage and with a starting price tag of RM10,999.
All 3 machines will be made available around June where Dell’s official website will start to offer them in various configurations.
