we have the Alienware area 51 m laptop this is a brand new laptop for Dell and
it's a desktop replacement and some of the parts we're going to talk about here
they're all desktop level parts so this is a 17 inch laptop as you can see it
comes in this kind of soft gray color that they're calling lunar light and the
other color it's going to come in is called the Dark Side of the Moon and as
you might guess it's very black this is what the outside looks like
I would love to should give you a quick look at the inside this is the magnesium
alloy chassis we rarely get to see these shelves I love it when we can so this is
magnesium it's really strong but also really light does add a little bit more
cost does add a little bit more Custis is not going to be a cheap machine are
you kidding all desktop parts this is the flag but this is the flagship and
this is you know this is not a name that they've used for a long time
Dell provided this amazing blow out of the machine up here you can see the two
colors the lunar light and the Dark Side of the Moon but look here at this here
you can see the honeycomb venting they have on the bottom of the laptop they
use this honeycomb pattern because it's very durable even though it's very open
you don't want that one oh yeah sure I'd be happy to look at that I mean it's
also really attractive you can see all the venting there there are also vents
on the sides here eventually there's a lot of ventilation and you can see up
here the fan structure with all the copper heat pipes and the heat going out
these are the back fence and these are the side vents so there is a lot of
thermal thermal control going on here of course with these really hot parts you
have to have that let's move over a bit to the motherboard there you can see the
desktop CPU we've got four so dims and look at these big cutouts here these
cutouts allow you to the graphics as well as the storage in
the system and let's go up to the under panel as you can see here these are all
openings for upgrading certain modules on the laptop and what's really cool and
I don't know if Dan if you have enough light to see they've actually put in
little guides to tell you which screws go in which holes and they've labeled
all the doors and everything so you know where everything goes I mean for someone
who's taken apart any piece of any computer and having to like you know you
know protect all the screws this sort of guidance is invaluable I mean it's just
that's what makes these flagship machines so beautiful so let's go back
to it again this is specs yeah some of the specs these are going to have
desktop parts I believe Cory 9 CPUs and also desktop GTX excuse me RR TX 2080
GPUs I have my hand here on the keyboard which is an LED RGB backlit keyboard as
you can see it's got all the lights here we have Toby eye-tracking going along
here Toby eye-tracking is still a little new but it's becoming a big deal in
eSports so you're going to see that on a lot of gaming laptops they also managed
to squeeze in a little camera at the top and then of course we have the 17-inch
panel in between and I believe it's of 144 Hertz panel we'll double check that
but we'll double check that let's take a look at but I may have gotten a glimpse
because there's something kind of crazy on the new the new design stuff there is
I'm gonna roll over to the side just so you can take a look at the ports of
course it has every pore you could possibly want but look at this back here
and wonder if we can get this to light up I have to open it ah so this is a
lighting scheme Dells calling it the stadium loop it will pulsate in the same
lights that you have on your keyboard going on at the time obviously within
this you have the vents some more ports your power port this is a really
distinctive and I aspect of the design that people are
going to be able to see from across the room at your land party and even though
you can install your your own oh yeah or you're upgrading your GPU later there is
a port Alienware yes there is a port for an e GPU to connect it to if you wish
let's see I've anywheres proprietary yes of course
let's see here you have the area 51 on the cover I'm going to show the other
the ports on the other side super port heavy no not sit but they've got some on
the back they've got some on the side here you can see the side vents as part
of the thermals I can't remember how much this weighs but I do know that
using the full magnesium alloy chassis allowed them to shave off a fair amount
of weight so even though this is a full desktop replacement laptop
I'm not going like oh my god you know this is actually not too heavy tell me
about this new look so this new look Dell is calling legend and it's going to
be phased in starting with the area 51 M but moving into other products over the
course of the year you're going to see here few more curves subtler lines
getting away from the bristle a black look and something a little more
minimalist and cool it's you know you see things like the stadium loop in the
back of the laptop things are doing awful work yeah I definitely want to
show that off one more time but people should be expecting this to be the new
style of Alienware yes going forward but this is the first one this is being
announced at CES we don't have a price for it yet but given that it has all
these premium products it's not going to be cheap and it is going to be gorgeous
