A gaming part of Dell that goes under the name of Alienware has just announced updated version of its 13, 15 and 17 inch notebooks. Since this updated happened at Pax on the August 27th last week, the company could not talk about the Skylake update for its notebooks.

It turns out that Alienware will have the Haswell based notebooks with USB 3.1 and HDMI 2.0 among some other tricks to coexist with the Skylake version of the notebooks.

The Alienware 13 inch is the smallest of the three to get the Skylake processor. The company has informed us that this 2.058 Kg (4.537 Lbs) notebook by default comes with the Intel Core i5-6200U Dual-Core with 3MB Cache, up to 2.8GHz with Turbo Boost. The company also offers Intel Core i7-6500U Dual-Core, 4MB Cache with up to 3.1GHz with Turbo Boost.

The notebooks ships by default with 13.3 inch HD 1366 x 768 TN Anti-Glare 200-nits Display but we suggest that you go for 13.3 inch FHD 1920 x 1080 IPS Anti-Glare 220-nits display. If you want over the top display you should chose 13.3 inch QHD+ 3200 x 1800 IGZO IPS TrueLife 400-nits display with Touch Technology, but have in mind that Geforce 965M is not enough to enable decent gaming at such a high pixel density.
