As CES 2026 has begun with a lot of surprises for tech enthusiasts, Dell on Monday gave a quick preview of its ultra-slim and entry-level gaming laptops that are set to launch later this year.
While the company has announced very minimal details about the two devices, even their names are yet not revealed. Existing models include the 16-inch Aurora 16 and 16X, two sleek mid-range options, and the 16- and 18-inch Area-51s, Dell's glitzy flagship machines.
Dell's PC gaming lead, the new ultra-slim Alienware laptop will have a more understated look compared to other Alienware models, and it'll be available in 14- and 16-inch sizes. The device will come with an 0.67-inch thickness, making it as thin as last year's 16-inch Apple MacBook Pro.
The Alienware laptop will feature Nvidia discrete graphics and new, highly efficient CPUs, which will balance mobility with gaming performance.
Dell has shared a image of the ultra-slim model, which shows an RGB keyboard and a microSD card slot, but no detailed specifications have been confirmed.
Based on its positioning, the laptop is expected to compete with models like the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 and G16, which are popular among gamers and creatives seeking portability with strong performance.
As CES 2026 continues till January 9, Dell is expected to share more details during its briefings later this week.
