THE ALIENWARE M16 is a new 16-inch beast designed to take over from its 15.6-inch predecessor. With Nvidia’s RTX 40-Series graphics and the choice between Intel and AMD’s latest processors, there’s plenty to dig into here.
Engineering-wise, we’re seeing more machines moving away from the slimline build of late to accommodate new-generation components and deliver better thermals as opposed to slick style. So while this remains a chunkier laptop by historical standards, in this new landscape the M16 feels almost thin. Almost. When the Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 weighs in at 2.5kg, the Alienware’s 3.25kg heft is certainly something to consider if you’re after true portability.
The rest of the design is firmly within the established Alienware M-Series’ wheelhouse. The centered keyboard, embossed ‘16’ on the back, and additional space towards the rear, have been seen time and again. If it wasn’t for that 16-inch display and physical marker on the lid, this could be any Alienware M laptop from the last four years.
