The new Alienware m17 R4 with NVIDIA RTX 30 Ampere mobile
On the recent CES 2021 Dell announced laptop Alienware m17 R4 with NVIDIA RTX 30 Ampere mobile, maybe for US market. Is there any news for Germany market?
Hi @Schuma6 welcome to this user to user forum. This is not Dell Support.
Dell has refreshed the Alienware m17 with NVIDIA Ampere mobile graphics. The Alienware m17 R4 features a largely similar configuration as in last year (2020) and offers a slew of customization options including a 360 Hz FHD panel. The laptop is also recognized as a CES 2021 Innovation Award Honoree in the Gaming category. The Alienware m17 R4 will be available from January 26 at prices starting from US$2,149.99.
What is perhaps more interesting, is what this is not. It does not have an 11th generation Intel CPU that has been specifically designed for laptops. The CPU is the same as in last years (2020) model and the GPU 3080 Mobile is only about 15-20% faster than the 2080 Super. There is no Ryzen motherboard option. This is a pointless Dell Alienware m17 refresh option. There are significantly better gaming laptop options entering the global market.
