Additionally, the Alienware Graphics Amplifier is also available for Php19,999. However, based on previous generation models and current market trends, we can provide an estimate of when these laptops may hit the market and what their price points may be. The higher-end Vector 17 HX and Crosshair 17 HX configurations featuring Intel's Core i9 CPU and NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4080 GPU are expected to be available in March 2024, with prices likely starting around $2,500 (~PHP 125k). Availability of the RTX 4070 and RTX 4060 variants should follow in April-May, potentially dropping the entry price to around $2,000 (~PHP 100k). The mainstream Pulse 17 AI and 16 AI models will likely launch in May-June 2024 once component supplies stabilize, priced competitively between $1,500-2,000 (~PHP 75k - 100k)depending on specs.
