New Delhi: Dell has introduced anti-glare OLED panels for its 16 inch Alienware gaming laptops at CES 2026. The Alienware 16 Area-51 and Alienware 16X Aurora both feature these OLED panels, which is something that consumers were demanding, while addressing the glare and reflections in bright environments with OLED screens. The premium anti-glare OLED panes reduce gloss by 32 per cent. The panels have a 0.2 ms response time, HDR True Black 500 certification, reaching 620 nits of peak brightness. The construction is durable with the lid being tested for 15kg of pressure, with the hinges tested for a 20,000 cycle lifespan.
Three Alienware notebooks, the 16X Aurora, the 16 Area-51 and the 18 Area-51 now feature new Intel Core Ultra 200HX processors, paired with Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs. These are scheduled for a rollout in Q1 2026, with pricing information expected to be announced closer to the launch. The Area-51 Gaming Desktop, a statement piece with 80L full-tower chassis designed for enthusiasts has been rebuilt from scratch, incorporating community feedback, with full ATX compatibility. From February 2026, this machine will be available with the Ryzen 7 9850X3D processor with 3D V-Cache technology. The pricing details on this machine is also expected to be available closer to the launch.
Ultra-Slim and Entry-Class laptops
Later in the year, Dell plans to expand the Alienware lineup to reach more gamers. An ultra-thin Alienware gaming laptop, around 17 mm in thickness will be available in 14 and 16-inch variants. The 16-inch laptop will be nearly 50 per cent smaller in volume than the 16-inch Area-51. While not aiming for the same performance ceiling, the laptop will be packed with discrete Nvidia graphics, and new highly efficient CPUs. The versatile device will use premium materials, offering a balance between performance and portability. Dell also plans to introduce an entry-level Alienware gaming laptop for a broader audience, provide gaming performance at a lower price point while maintaining build quality, thermals, and essential features.
