At CES 2026, Alienware debuts new anti-glare 240Hz OLED panels in its 16-inch Aurora and Area-51 laptops, plus new Intel "Arrow Lake" silicon options. I got to check out the screens up close, and they're stunning.

Dell Technologies Inc.’s Alienware brand has been flexing its muscles at the CES electronics show in Las Vegas today, unveiling three new gaming laptops alongside a traditional tower personal computer powered by Nvidia Corp.’s most advanced gaming processor.

This particular configuration is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card, 32GB or DDR5-6400MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. Additional system details include a 360mm all-in-one liquid cooling system for the CPU and a massive 1,500W 80Plus Platinum power supply that allows plenty of headroom for future upgrades.

Dell announces XPS 14 and XPS 16, teases XPS 13. Alienware adds anti-glare OLED displays and new processors. Dell UltraSharp unveils two monitors.

Alienware says its new Area-51 desktop gaming PC with AMD's new world's best gaming CPU aka Ryzen 7 9850X3D, is the 'king of performance in our portfolio'.

Also, for the first time in a long time, Alienware is finally making an 'ultra-slim' gaming laptop.

Alienware’s flagship desktop finally ditched proprietary parts last year (no more Dell-specific motherboards) and welcomed AMD’s flagship Ryzen X3D desktop chips in November. Now it’s getting the latest AMD chip too — just know the new 9850X3D is only a tad faster than the 9800X3D (AMD says roughly 7 percent uplift).
