Gamers looking to level up now have more options, thanks to Windows 11 PCs introduced at CES 2023 by Dell and Alienware. And with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate [1] built in through the Xbox app, players can access hundreds of PC games. Game Pass on Windows 11 takes advantage of features like DirectX 12 Ultimate, DirectStorage, Auto HDR and Controller bar [2] to make playing easier and faster. 
Alienware’s most powerful laptop, the m18, has 13th Gen Intel Core HX processors that harness up to 65W (compared to previous-gen 45W), the full stack of NVIDIA GeForce Next-Gen Laptop GPUs and dual user-replaceable DDR5 SO-DIMM slots. Additionally, AMD Advantage models will be powered by next-gen AMD Ryzen Processors and Radeon Graphics for mobile. The X Series laptops, Alienware’s flagship brand, introduced a new size: the 16-inch x16, its first since 2004. The new Alienware x16 is the answer if you’re trying to decide between buying a 15-inch or 17-inch gaming laptop. It comes with a taller 16:10 display and an improved six-speaker design, part of a spatial audio experience. This laptop comes with 100 micro-LEDs and is the first Alienware laptop enhanced with the new AlienFX Scanner, Loop and Rainbow lighting mods. The illuminated RGB touchpad is now 15% larger (than the one found on the x17 R2). 
The x16 features the latest technologies including 13th Gen Intel Core HX processors, NVIDIA GeForce Next-Gen Laptop GPUs and next-gen AMD technology for mobile.
