Dell and Alienware are bringing new AMD powered laptops to market tomorrow

Dell and their gaming arm Alienware, have announced that there are new choices coming tomorrow, for those who want gaming laptops that are powered by AMD.

The range was first announced back at CES 2022 in Las Vegas and since then, there hasn’t been much info on them, but that changed today, as we now have details and starting price for each. The new laptops include the Alienware m15 R7, Alienware m17 R5 and the Dell G15, with the last one being the cheapest, so we will start there.


The Dell G15 comes with an AMD Ryzen™ 5 6600H 6-Cores CPU as its base option, but has two additional levels. On the GPU side the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3050 4GB GDDR6 is the starting point, but can go up to a 3070 Ti.

With a full HD display, minimum 8gb of RAM and 256gb of storage, there is plenty to keep you going out the gate, but you can also get 32gb of RAM and a whipping 2tb of storage built in. The laptop comes in three colours, the black and white as normal, but also a camo print, you can see the colours below.

The starting price, which gets you all mentioned above, is only $1599, making it one affordable laptop.

The Alienware m15 R7 is being billed as Alienwares most advanced 15 inch laptop and with the starting CPU being the AMD Ryzen™ 7 6800H 8-Core, paired with a NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3050 Ti 4GB GDDR6, you can see why.

Beyond those specs users will find 2 DDR5 memory slots, so while it comes with 8gb of RAM in its base config, but can support up to 64gb. It also has twin storage options, so on a single device you can get 256gb of NVMe M.2 SSD or if you max out both slots, a total of 4tb, meaning storage should never be an issue here.

The starting price for this laptop is $2799 and goes up from there, depending on options selected.

For those looking at the Alienware m17 R5, it comes powered by the AMD Ryzen™ 7 6800H 8-Core and the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3050 Ti 4GB GDDR6, but it is the extras screen size that sets it apart.

The basic screen stands at an impressive 17.3 inches and is full HD ready, with AMD FreeSync or NVIDIA G-Sync + Advanced Optimus supported, meaning gaming on this one will always look the smoothest. The best screen though is a UHD display, meaning 4K, so if you are a content creator, then this is what you need.

If this sounds like the one for you, starting price for this is $3299, putting it at the expensive side of things and that is before you start to add in extras.
