Dell has just released two gaming laptops for the Indian market on Monday. The company has expanded its Alienware X series with two new additions - Alienware X14 and m15 R7. The gaming laptops are built on 12th Gen Intel Core H-series CPUs and feature NVIDIA’s RTX30 series GPUs.
Dell has enabled support for NVIDIA G-Sync and Advanced Optimus technologies in both gaming laptops. NVIDIA G-Sync will reduce screen tearing and stuttering to provide a smoother display. Advanced Optimus switches between a laptop’s integrated graphics and discrete graphics automatically and dynamically based on the required process.
The company has added five power state settings to maintain the performance while keeping the thermals of the device in check. The five power settings (Full Speed, Performance mode, Balanced mode, Battery saver mode, and Quiet mode) are available for users to choose the desired airflow for optimum performance.
Dolby Vision is in-built for both Alienware X14 and m15 R7 along with Dolby Atmos. As for RGB-LED lighting, the Alien head branding on the top cover and the keyboards have lighting in both laptops.
