Is Alienware m13 likely?

[Snikerdoodlz]

I'm in the market for a small Alienware laptop, but the 13 R3 is too big (it's essentially a 15 inch with 13" screen) and the 13 R2, though cheap right now, is getting dated and would be a downgrade from my Gigabyte Aero 14 v7. I actually used to have a 13 R2 with a graphics amplifier until I sold the laptop and GPU for a huge markup during the mining rush (I kept the amp). With Dell having refreshed its laptops with the Alienware m15 and m17, is something like an m13 likely?

I think that their main focus is on 15 inch machines, like most laptop makers

I would love a new one tho

Kinda sucks that 13" gets no love, and when it does there's always awful compromises. Whenever I get into college I'll have to upgrade from my E4310 since battery life is atrocious thanks to first-gen i5, and the only laptop that I'd be fine with is a damn G7 15 (2060/256GB+1TB/fingerprint/aftermarket 16GB RAM) since they're not that chonky. Would love the 13 R3 but fuck that price tag long and hard.

TBH, most college work can be done on a Chromebook or old ass Macbook air (Even in CIS)

I know it can. Hell, I got through high school (which for me was just slightly-less-hard college) with an E4300. But getting ~2.5 hours on a full charge with this laptop just doesn't make sense when the G7 would assblast it for performance and still get better battery life. Would also be really nice for LAN parties with friends I do fairly often not having to drag my desktop and peripherals around.

Well in that case, buy all the gamings

15 inch thin bezels is considered compact already. I don't think we will see 13/14 inch gaming laptops anymore, partly due to the limited cooling room
