Alienware Launches Laptop With QHD OLED Display After 20 Years of Business (hothardware.com)

Posted by BeauHD on from the happy-anniversary dept.

MojoKid writes from a report via HotHardware: Dell's Alienware 13 gaming notebook has been popular among gamers and power users that want a little more horsepower in a relatively light 4.5 pound 13-inch machine. However, over the past couple of years, Alienware hasn't changed-up the design much -- until today that is. [In celebration of its 20th anniversary], the company is officially making the OLED display equipped Alienware 13 available today, which they debuted back in January at CES. Initial testing and review impressions show that, as expected, the OLED display sure is gorgeous. The OLED display of the Alienware 13 is also representative of a full revamp (except for the skins), including a 6th generation Intel Skylake Core series processor and an NVMe Solid State Drive. The real kicker, however, is that Alienware's 13.3-inch QHD (2560X1440) OLED display offers great saturation and contrast with an extremely crisp 1ms pixel response time that delivers beautiful image quality, whether working in content creation, or in fast-moving action while gaming. Viewing angles with the display are also superior to high-end IPS panels including Dell's own XPS 15 with its near bezel-less Infinity Edge panel. At E3 2016, AMD announced the Radeon RX 470 and RX 460, which will join the RX 480 in the company's Polaris family.

    Usually when you guys post advertisements, you try to pretend it's news, but it seems like you've dropped all pretense on this one.

      The first laptop ever to ship with a display technology which is oft discussed here on Slashdot isn't news?

      Do us a favour and go find some other site to bitch about.

      I agree on this one. Slashdot has to be present whenever there is some new stuff out of the ordinary, even if that can be seen as an ad.
