Dell & Alienware seem to be preparing a range of next-gen laptops for consumers which will be powered by Intel's latest Core Ultra "Meteor Lake" CPUs.
Intel's first generation Core Ultra CPUs, codenamed Meteor Lake, are all set for launch on the 14th of December but Dell and Alienware will be presenting their lineup in early 2024 which should just be a few weeks away from the official launch. Now, information regarding these next-gen laptops is leaking out by the folks over at Windows Report.
Starting with the Dell lineup, the company will offer upgrades across its full range of XPS laptops The Dell XPS 13 and XPS 14 laptops will come with a sleeker body but feature the normal Intel Core CPU SKUs (Raptor Lake Refresh) and NVIDIA RTX GPUs. The higher-end XPS 16 is what will be getting the Meteor Lake treatment along with NVIDIA RTX 40 GPUs. So the lineup should look like the following:
Moving onward, we have the Alienware lineup which will include m16 R2, m18 R2, and the x16 R2. The Alienware m16 R2 will be equipped with Intel's Core Ultra "Meteor Lake-H" CPUs with an RTX GPU, an updated chassis with better cooling, and feature the new Stealth mode which is a preset that tones down the RGB, Display, and CPU frequency and fan speed so that the laptop can be tuned for more productivity with higher battery times. Users will be given the option to adjust the different settings manually too.
Another Intel Meteor Lake-H laptop is the Alienware x16 R2 which is a higher-end variant of the m16 with a more premium chassis and support for dedicated graphics.
Then there's the Alienware m18 R2 which as the name suggests will be a hefty 18" design with the Intel 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh (HX) series CPUs and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 GPUs. This laptop is aimed at the enthusiast gaming segment so expect lots of performance. Details are slim on the exact configurations such as memory, storage, display, battery, etc but these laptops are said to be available by the 11th of January so we can expect more information at CES 2024.

An announcement released via Fallout’s official X account let fans know that Fallout 4’s 4K ‘Next Gen’ update will need a little more time in the oven. The update is now slated to arrive sometime in 2024.
Today is a big day as Intel launches its next-generation Core Ultra CPU family codenamed Meteor Lake, bringing some major design changes.
Yesterday, Insomniac Games and Bethesda Game Studios announced around the same time that the awaited Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Fallout 4 updates have been delayed to 2024.
Bethesda has delayed Fallout 4’s PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC update to 2024.
Remember the big 4K update for Fallout 4 that was announced in 2022 as part of the 25th anniversary celebration of the original Fallout? The good news is that it's still happening, but the bad news is that it's not happening until sometime in 2024.
You're going to have to wait a little longer for Noctua's next-gen 140mm fan. Despite positive signs out at Computex this year that had suggested the fan would head to mass production by the tail-end of 2023, that plan has been scuppered by late issue. This means it has to go through a lengthy validation process all over again, and now we're looking at a Q2 2024 release, if not later again.
Intel have finally confirmed the full lineup and specs for their 14th gen Meteor Lake CPUs, which for now is comprised entirely of ultrathin laptop chips with the new Core Ultra branding. I appreciate that a PC gaming site might not be the most natural home for this information, considering both that these are not technically gaming CPUs and that that Meteor Lake’s most hyped-up feature is more of a productivity aid: a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for client-side AI work. However, as the new H-series parts also integrate Intel Arc graphics for the first time, there is some interesting potential for them to transform lightweight ultrabooks into viable gaming laptops.
Unfortunately, the highly anticipated next-gen update for Fallout 4 has officially been delayed to an unknown date in 2024, according to Bethesda.
Bethesda Softworks’ planned “next-gen update” for Fallout 4 that will deliver optimized PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game has been delayed to 2024. Bethesda previously said it would deliver that update sometime in 2023, but on Wednesday, with just 18 days left in the year, announced it would instead release it sometime in 2024.
