Alienware m15 UPDATE: Dell recently announced configuration for Core i9-8950HK & RTX 2080 Max-Q and a 144 Hz display

Dell only refreshed the Alienware m15 3 weeks ago, but the company has already added a new, albeit well-hidden, configuration. Announced at CES last month, the m15 initially could be configured with up to a Core i9-8950HK processor and a GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q GPU but only a 60 Hz 4K panel, with the 144 Hz 1080p display reserved for cheaper variants.

Now the lucky owners of high-end Alienware Area-51m laptops containing Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 graphics cards have just been dashed with a little more fortune. Frank Azor, the VP General Manager of XPS, Gaming, and Alienware at Dell, has recently informed users of the gaming laptop that there will soon be a BIOS update to increase the power headroom for the GPU.

The m15 can now be configured with a Core i9-8950HK processor, an RTX 2080 Max-Q GPU and a 144 Hz display, but best of luck finding it. Notebookcheck reports, “Please keep in mind that you can only find this new configuration by first selecting the anorn5ch002h, it is not available with any other m15 variant on the Dell US website. By contrast, Dell UK lists two comparable models on its website, the n00awm1530 and n00awm1531. Oddly, the two versions are seemingly identically equipped, but the latter is £500 more expensive.” The new model costs US$3,279.99, but you can add US$880 if you include a 90 Wh battery, dual 1 TB PCIe SSDs and 32 GB RAM.
