Picture this: Three brand new setups, each showcasing some of the latest and greatest Alienware products. Taking centre stage at the Bravado Gaming headquarters in Johannesburg, South Africa, Alienware’s new display showcase features some of the latest and greatest tech that they have to offer. We have the devices, we have them monitors, and we have the peripherals ecosystem. Let’s unpack what we’ve been spoilt to in each of these categories!
The Devices
The Alienware X16 and M18 laptops showcase distinct features catering to varied preferences. The X16, with its sleek design and lightweight build, places an emphasis on portability without compromising on power. Alongside a powerful 13th Gen Intel core processor, it boasts advanced graphics capabilities thanks to 40 series Nvidia mobile graphics and a high-refresh-rate display, making it ideal for gamers who prioritise power on the go. On the other hand, the M18 is a powerhouse designed for users seeking an uncompromising mix of brains and brawn. The larger form factor accommodates top-tier components, providing superior processing power and extensive storage options, perfect for gamers or professionals with intensive computing needs. Pick your poison. Portability and style with the X16, or raw performance and versatility with the M18.
"Thanks to the 13th Gen Intel Core processors, these bad boys will get you to 360 fps anywhere in the world, no problem!"
- Luca “RoBoHoBo” Tucconi, content creator for Bravado Gaming.
The Monitors
The Alienware AW2523HF and the AW3423DWF. Two different monitors, each offering a distinct viewing experience, tailored to the needs of many. The AW2523HF, with its 25-inch screen and Full HD 1080p resolution, is geared towards esports enthusiasts and competitive gamers. Headlining a blisteringly fast 360hz refresh rate and a 0.5ms GTG response time with added creature comforts such as a built-in headphone hook and hexagonal base stand, the AW2523HF is nothing short of an elite monitor for elite gamers, aspiring or professional.
In contrast, the AW3423DWF caters to users seeking a more immersive and expansive visual experience. With its 34-inch curved ultrawide display, stunning QD-OLED technology, and widescreen 1440p resolution, this monitor delivers gorgeous visuals and a wider field of view. It's well-suited for gamers who appreciate detailed graphics and multitasking capabilities, as well as content creators who need as much screen real estate as possible to get the most out of their editing workflows.
"Frames win games. And the AW2523HF gives you as many of those as quickly as possible, whether you’re playing Rocket League, or whether you’re playing VALORANT."
- Marcaille “Papa Capes” Fransman, content creator for Bravado Gaming.
The Ecosystem
Alienware's AW510K keyboard, AW720M mouse, and AW720H headset form a formidable trio of peripherals designed to elevate your experience both in-game and in-person. The AW510K keyboard features a sleek design with fully customizable RGB lighting and low-profile Cherry MX switches, providing a tactile yet quiet typing experience, perfectly-suited for gamers who appreciate responsiveness without compromising on style.
The AW720M mouse complements the keyboard with its ergonomic design and customizable features. Boasting a high-precision 26k optical sensor and programmable side buttons, gamers who require accuracy and versatility will enjoy the attention to detail of this mouse, such as with the magnetic snap quick charging cable and the inclusion of customizable weights allowing for fine-tuned balancing, enhancing your overall personalised gaming experience.
Completing the trifecta, the AW720H headset offers immersive audio with 7.1 virtual surround sound and Alienware's iconic design. Comfort is prioritised with plush ear cushions and a lightweight build, ensuring extended gaming sessions don’t leave you walking away from your setup with the trademark gamer headset hair. The all new AI powered noise-cancelling microphone tops off the specs list, giving you the comfort in knowing that you are delivering crystal-clear communications to your teammates, with nothing standing between your team and the win.
Together, these peripherals create a cohesive gaming ecosystem, providing the perfect blend of performance, style, and comfort. Whether it's the responsive keyboard, precision mouse, or immersive headset, Alienware caters for the diverse needs of gamers seeking a unified and high-quality setup.
"Whether it be work or play, Alienware’s new peripherals range really does strike that perfect blend between luxury and quality."
- Tristan “ZoZu” Rens, General Manager of Bravado Gaming.

Between the devices, monitors, and the ecosystem of peripherals, it’s not hard to see why we are so excited about this other-worldly showcase display! How do you choose between a 360hz powerhouse and a widescreen beauty? Between the flexibility of the X16 and the raw horsepower of the M18? The good thing for us is that we don’t have to.
