Said to be the brand’s most powerful release to date, customers in Malaysia currently can fit the 4.04 kg laptop with either the Core i7-13700HX 16-core processor or the higher-end Core i9-13900HX 24-core option. They have also been provided with three GPU options including the GeForce RTX 4060, RTX 4080, and RTX 4090. [Image: Alienware.]When it comes to the display panel, customers can choose to have the m18 with either the 165Hz panel with QHD+ (2560 x 1600) resolution or the ultra-fast 480Hz panel although they have to settle for Full HD+ (1920 x 1200) resolution. The base specs for m18 are currently listed at RM11,999 which is inclusive of the Core i7 CPU, RTX 4060 GPU, QHD+ panel, 16GB RAM, and 512GB PCIe NVMe solid state drive. For those who want to go all the way, a fully loaded m18 with Core i9, RTX 4090, 64GB RAM, 4TB SSD, and CherryMX low-profile mechanical keyboard would set you back around RM36,589 but this particular configuration still features the QHD+ panel. As odd as this might sound, the Full HD+ panel is limited to configurations that include a combination of the Core i9 CPU and RTX 4080 GPU. Alienware m18.

As you can tell from its name, the laptop comes with a 16-inch display as opposed to m18’s massive 18-inch screen. The hardware options that Dell Malaysia has listed for the m16 at the moment are identical to the m18 although there are several interesting additions. Among them is RTX 4070 GPU as well as the QHD+ 240Hz panel which once again is limited to configurations that have Core i9 and RTX 4080 combo in them, just like the Full HD+ 480Hz panel. Alienware m16. [Image: Alienware.] For the m16, the base specs consist of Core i7, RTX 4060, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD carries a price tag of RM10,999. Once you upgrade that list to the maximum specs that include Core i9, RTX 4090, 64GB RAM, 4TB SSD, and CherryMX keyboard, that figure would then jump up to RM21,718.30. On a related note, we are not sure how accurate the estimated delivery date (EDD) that was shown on Dell Malaysia’s website but when we configured the m18 and m16 for this story, the site told us that the EDD for both models to Kuala Lumpur would be 19 April. So, be aware of that if you are planning to order these new Alienware gaming laptops.
