"After relaunching its Area-51 brand with a new 16-inch laptop in 2025, Alienware is teasing two new laptops at CES 2026 in an attempt to reach an even larger audience. Dell's gaming brand plans to launch both entry-level and ultra-slim models later this year, and in the meantime, it's rolling out updates to its existing desktops and laptops to tide people over."
"The company's new "ultra-slim gaming laptop" will be around 17mm or 0.67 inches thin, and come in either 14-inch or 16-inch variants. While the 16-inch version of the laptop will feature NVIDIA discrete graphics and "new highly efficient CPUs," it's not meant to be a gaming powerhouse like the Area-51. Instead, Alienware suggests the laptop will work for gaming and also "creative projects, productivity and everything in between.""
Alienware is introducing two new laptops in 2026 and updating existing desktops and laptops with new components and displays. The ultra‑slim gaming laptop measures about 17mm thin and will arrive in 14‑inch and 16‑inch sizes; the 16‑inch option includes NVIDIA discrete graphics and new highly efficient CPUs for gaming, creative projects and productivity. The entry‑level laptop targets strong gaming performance at Alienware's most accessible price point yet, potentially below $1,199. Select Alienware 16X Aurora and 16 Area‑51 laptops gain anti‑glare OLED panels that reach 620 nits and 0.2ms response and receive Intel Core Ultra 200HX chips. The Area‑51 Desktop will ship with AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D. No pricing has been announced.
