At the recent Computex 2019, the premium gaming arm of Dell has announced that the design language has also been implemented on the latest iteration of m15 and m17 gaming laptops.
Despite the new design language, Alienware has maintained the slim physique of both m15 and m17 gaming laptop while providing several improvements over previous models.
