Nothing wrong with it as long as they offer the M series at the same time. Also, by making thin laptops, companies are at least pushing themselves to find cooling solutions instead of just settling for bigger laptops. By pushing this limits maybe they can find someday the next replacement for liquid metal or vapor chambers. That's how technology evolves

Are they really not offering a mini led or oled panel with there top end spec? I don't care how premium it feels, laptop display tech has taken a huge leap forward this year (if you've experienced mini led before then you know), every one of there competitors has it available. No chance. If they offered a mini led or oled panel, and also wtf is up with that track pad, it's tiny and it's off centre. Such a ten year old design. Offer a large centered track pad

I am really finding it difficult to decide between legion pro 7i and Alienware x16. Moreover, the 100% DCI-P3 screen option in the x16 costs $250 more. So, am a bit confused between the 100% sRGB and 100% DCI-P3 option. Please reccomend me a good option.
@AltruisticWarrior

I'd stay away from the x16. It's too thin and is subject to thermal throttling. Go with the m series otherwise, they'll literally outperform with equally matching specs due to this. The non slim Lenovo is probably the better choice when comparing these two specifically.

Yeah I personally don't care about super thin gaming laptop. I'd rather have a thicker laptop that has better thermals without have the fans scream trying to keep a tiny space cool.I don't understand why everyone is trying to chase thinness. I'm kinda disappointed with Alienware. Specifically the m18. It looks kinda dull and boring compared to the previous 18 models. I expected something a little more special. The design just seems like an afterthought

They've been treating the M series as a second class citizen since the release of the X series, so maybe the M18 is not even their flagship. I believe so since the X16 comes with 6 speakers and lights in the touchpad while the M18 didn't, so I believe they will make a X18 with this features to separate it against the M18 and call it their actual flagship

They had a sound proof booth im surprised you weren't able to go to to test the new x16 speakers. They are absolutely amazing and dare I say equal to if not better then MacBook Pro 16" speakers which are currently easily the best speakers on a laptop. That said I can't wait to hear them at home and not a special demo room, never know what tricks are happening in there.
