As Alienware's new flagship, the M18 has attracted much attention since its release at the beginning of the year. As an 18-inch ultra-large gaming laptop, its powerful hardware configuration, classic design heritage, improved cooling architecture, and users' expectations for its performance tuning have made it the focus of the market. And its luxurious and understated exterior design also makes it a work of art that is not only outstanding in performance, but also quite aesthetically pleasing.
The A side of the M18 adopts an anodized aluminum shell, and the surface has been treated with nanotechnology pearlescent to show a distinct metallic luster. In the center is the iconic alien avatar logo, which supports backlight adjustment, and the "18" logo is rubbed using seal engraving technology in the lower right corner. The overall design style is simple and low-key, but the textures of the materials, lacquer and details can make people fully feel its luxurious side.
Although the M18 is an 18-inch super-sized gaming laptop, its body design is relatively slim among the current 18-inch models, with a thickest point of 267mm。Viewed from the side, the bottom side area of the fuselage has a wedge-shaped design that slopes inward, which visually reduces the thickness sensitivity, so the fuselage looks more capable and does not give a heavy, clumsy feeling.
The keyboard part of the M18 uses a Cherry mechanical keyboard, which has a fast trigger response speed.

The surface of the M18 trackpad is matte to the touch, so it has a relatively obvious haptic feedback, which results in a very hand-like control feeling. The effective pressing area of the left and right buttons of the trackpad covers the entire bottom corner, without the dead zone of the left and right buttons common to integrated trackpads.
