16:10, ordinarily sized arrow and num keys, mechanical keyboard, vapor chamber, possibly Win 11 Pro (in Germany?) - I am dying from excitement except that I would have to cover two alien heads by labels and bear them in the software... Need to await noise and German keyboard layout though.

also, shitty displays , where is 4k 165hz? where is 2k OLED 240HZ ??? the good stuff!

Nice.
But we see once more the schizophrenic manufacturers.
If you invest in 18" it is because the screen is of primal importance.
So you now only offer a 300nits screen?

I agree. The refresh rate battle is beyond ridiculous. Focus on resolution/color depth/latency before going beyond what the eye can visually perceive.

16:10 yes!

Also,

2k OLED 240HZ

2.5K not 2K. Don't foward the marketing misnomers! I do agree 2560x1600 240Hz OLED would be a fantastic middle ground, particularly if it had a reasonable PWM situation.

True...but this is Alienware, the moment I saw the brand I expected a crappy display despite everything else.
