Alienware’s latest laptop has shrunken the butt


For some gamers, portability matters more than power.

But the problem with a large rear end on a laptop is it looks kind of goofy and makes packing it up a little more troublesome, so the Alienware M16 R2 has gotten a little booty reduction. To go along with that less obtrusive back end (officially called a “thermal shelf” by Dell) the M16 R2 also has a new “Stealth Mode” that should allow you to quickly switch the day-glo RGB keyboard lighting to a more muted white with the press of the Fn and F2 keys. The higher-end Alienware X16 R2 has held onto its thermal shelf, which means its a much bigger laptop but can sport up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090.
