Dell announce massive 18 inch Alienware 18 gaming notebook with dual NVIDIA 980M GPUs
When it comes to gaming notebooks, there is no brand like the Alienware. Alienware, part of Dell continues to be the best-in-class notebooks for gaming. Today, Dell has announced a monster-sized 18” Alienware 18 gaming notebook, powered by Intel’s 4th generation K series processors and you can either opt for dual NVIDIA 970M or dual NVIDIA 980M GPUs. The legendary beast, Alienware 18, will be available on sale for a limited time. The down side though is that the Alienware 18 comes with a starting price of $2499 and the top end model costs $4649. The Alienware 18 weights whopping 5.472kgs.
Alienware 18 comes with an unlocked BIOS and allows extensive customization and over-clocking. There is whopping 32GB of RAM onboard, you can add up to 4 hard drives. The 18” display though is only a FullHD display (given the price, Dell should’ve used a 4K display or at least a touch screen panel).
