Dell Alienware launches its first AMD-powered gaming laptop since 2007 - Ars Technica

This time last year, we covered one of the first Ryzen 9 gaming laptops—Asus' ROG Zephyrus G14.

A year later, Dell is joining the Ryzen-powered gaming laptop party with its new Alienware m15 Ryzen Edition.

Last year, the Achilles heel of Ryzen-powered gaming laptops was mediocre GPU selection—for whatever reason, most manufacturers didn't spec RTX 3000-series GPUs along with Ryzen processors.

That's thankfully no longer the case in 2021—the new Alienware m15 pairs Ryzen 7 5800H or Ryzen 9 5900HX with up to 32GiB RAM and a choice of RTX 3060 or RTX 3070 graphics.

If you're in the market for a solid gaming laptop at a lower price point, the Dell G15 Ryzen Edition might be more your speed.

The G15 pairs a Ryzen 5 5600H or Ryzen 7 5800H with a GeForce RTX 3060 GPU, up to 32GiB of DDR4-3200 RAM, and up to 2TB PCIe NVMe storage.
