Alienware x16 offers 175 W graphics while being thinner than even the Razer Blade 16, but there are some caveats

Alienware x16 offers 175 W TGP graphics while being thinner than even the Razer Blade 16, but there are some caveats

The Alienware x16 is thinner than the Blade 16 or Asus Zephyrus M16 and yet it's still larger and heavier because of its wider width and extended rear. Being the thinnest of the bunch evidently has its costs.
