What We Like About the Alienware AW2726DL

280Hz refresh at native 2560×1440: the full QHD resolution runs at the top refresh rate over both HDMI and DisplayPort, not a reduced one
1ms GtG in Extreme mode: three response settings are selectable, at 1ms Extreme, 2ms Super Fast and 4ms Fast
AMD FreeSync Premium plus VESA AdaptiveSync certification: variable refresh works across GPU vendors rather than being tied to one
HDMI 2.1 with FRL: the single HDMI port carries 2560×1440 at 280Hz with HDR and VRR, so a console or second PC does not drop to a lower refresh
Full ergonomic stand with 130mm height travel: tilt, swivel and 90 degree pivot in both directions, plus 100 x 100 mm VESA mounting

27-inch WQHD IPS Panel at 280Hz

The panel is a flat 27-inch (68.58 cm) In-Plane Switching type running 2560×1440 in a 16:9 aspect ratio. Pixel pitch is 0.2331 x 0.2331 mm, which gives 109 pixels per inch. Viewing angles are 178 degrees horizontally and vertically, and the surface is anti-glare with 3H glass hardness.

Standard refresh rate is 280Hz, and the maximum resolution figure is quoted as 2560×1440 at 280Hz. Response time is selectable across three modes: 1ms GtG in Extreme, 2ms GtG in Super Fast and 4ms GtG in Fast.

Brightness is rated at 400 cd/m² against a native contrast ratio of 1,000:1. Dell states the 280Hz refresh and 1ms response deliver smooth motion and minimal blur at QHD resolution.

Colour: 10-bit, 93% DCI-P3, HDR10

Colour support is 1.07 billion colours at a 10-bit depth achieved as 8-bit plus FRC. Gamut coverage is 93% DCI-P3 measured to CIE 1976.

The monitor carries HDR10 support, and HDR passes over the HDMI input alongside variable refresh rate.

Tear-Free Motion: FreeSync Premium and VESA AdaptiveSync

Two certifications cover variable refresh: AMD FreeSync Premium and VESA AdaptiveSync. According to Dell, this pairing means tear-free and stutter-free motion with any GPU.

Ports: HDMI 2.1 FRL and DisplayPort 1.4

Connectivity is deliberately minimal. There is one HDMI port and one DisplayPort 1.4 port, both carrying HDCP 1.4 and HDCP 2.3.

Port	Quantity	Specification
HDMI (2.1 FRL)	1	HDCP 1.4 and 2.3, up to 2560×1440 at 280Hz, HDR and VRR
DisplayPort 1.4	1	HDCP 1.4 and 2.3

There is no USB hub, no webcam, no microphone and no built-in speakers.

Stand, Mounting and Dimensions

Height adjustment covers 130 mm of travel, tilt runs from -5 to 21 degrees, swivel from -173 to 173 degrees, and the panel pivots 90 degrees in either direction. VESA mounting is 100 x 100 mm and a security cable lock slot is fitted.

Bezels measure 8.37 mm at the top, 8.38 mm on each side and 14.47 mm at the bottom.

Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra and RTX Spark Partner Laptops — ASUS ProArt, Dell XPS 16, HP OmniBook, Lenovo Yoga Pro 9n, MSI Prestige N16 Flip AI+

Microsoft has introduced Surface Laptop Ultra, a thin, precision-engineered laptop built for creative professionals and developers running sustained high-performance workloads — rendering, code compilation, and local AI workflows. The announcement comes alongside RTX Spark-powered laptop reveals from five OEM partners: ASUS, Dell Technologies, HP Inc., Lenovo, and MSI.

Surface Laptop Ultra is positioned as the flagship Windows laptop for world makers and creative pros, designed around the NVIDIA RTX Spark superchip. The partner lineup spans 14-inch to 16-inch form factors, with Tandem OLED displays, high-capacity batteries, and AI-accelerated creative workflows as common themes across devices.

Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra — 15-inch Mini-LED, 2,000 Nits, 128GB Unified Memory, Blackwell RTX GPU

Surface Laptop Ultra is Microsoft’s most powerful Surface Laptop ever built. Engineered with NVIDIA from the silicon up and optimized for RTX Spark, it targets creators, developers, and AI builders running workloads that do not fit a standard laptop — massive 3D scenes, long compile cycles, local models, and large datasets.

The laptop is the first Surface to combine a NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with up to 128GB of unified memory and full CUDA support. The unified memory pool is dynamically allocated across CPU and GPU based on where workloads need it, allowing AI creation, 3D rendering, and multi-model workflows to run simultaneously. The chip delivers 1 petaflop of AI compute and can run models up to 120 billion parameters locally.

Display

The 15-inch mini-LED PixelSense Ultra touchscreen runs at 262 pixels per inch with up to 2,000 nits of peak HDR brightness and high-precision color accuracy — the brightest display Microsoft has shipped on a Surface.

Design and Ports

Surface Laptop Ultra is available in two finishes: Platinum and Nightfall. The device carries the largest haptic touchpad ever put on a Surface. Port selection was chosen specifically for creator and developer use cases: HDMI, USB-C, USB-A, SD card reader, and headphone jack — all built in.

The internal architecture and external form were designed as a single system, with mechanical, electrical, thermal, acoustic, materials, and industrial design engineers working together from the start. The design priorities include performance, durability, and repairability together rather than trading one against another.

Battery life is rated for all-day use, with an ultra-efficient CPU architecture giving headroom for sustained demanding workloads.

ASUS ProArt P16 and ProArt P14 — Nano Black and Neo White, Lumina Pro OLED

ASUS is entering the RTX Spark generation with two ProArt models: the ProArt P16 (16-inch) and ProArt P14 (14-inch). Both are built around slim and lightweight chassis targeting creators who need to work on the go.

The ProArt P16 and ProArt P14 feature ASUS Lumina Pro OLED displays and are available in two colour options: Nano Black and Neo White. Battery life is described as all-day for both models, making them suited for extended use away from a power source.

Both devices carry NVIDIA AI acceleration through RTX Spark, covering creative workloads, AI development, and performance tasks in the same portable form factor.

Dell XPS 16 Creator Edition — Tandem OLED with True Black HDR 600, Built-in SD and HDMI

Dell’s RTX Spark laptop is the XPS 16 Creator Edition, a 16-inch device built specifically around creative production workflows. The machine targets smoother playback on 4K timelines, faster exports, and more responsive AI tool usage.

The display is a Tandem OLED panel with True Black HDR 600, designed to render visuals as intended for color-sensitive creative work. Hardware connectivity includes a built-in SD card reader and HDMI port, making the XPS 16 Creator Edition suited for fieldwork as well as desk setups.

The RTX Spark GPU handles the AI-accelerated portions of the creative pipeline, including integration with tools like Adobe Premiere and Photoshop that are being rearchitected for the new chip.

HP OmniBook Ultra 16 and OmniBook X 14 — Creators, Gamers, and AI Developers

HP is bringing two RTX Spark laptops: the HP OmniBook Ultra 16 and HP OmniBook X 14. Both are described as targeting creators, gamers, and AI developers who need local AI performance and AI-accelerated workflow experiences.

The HP OmniBook Ultra 16 was previously described by HP as one of the thinnest RTX Spark laptops in the lineup. Specific display and battery specs for both models have not been disclosed in this announcement.

Lenovo Yoga Pro 9n — Portability and Extended Battery

Lenovo’s RTX Spark entry is the Yoga Pro 9n, which carries over the Yoga Pro series’ creator-focused features into the RTX Spark generation. Lenovo highlights portability, performance, and the ability to run for extended periods away from a power outlet as the key design priorities.

The Yoga Pro 9n fits NVIDIA’s newest chip into a device designed for creators who move between locations and cannot rely on constant access to charging. Detailed display and battery specifications have not been announced.

MSI Prestige N16 Flip AI+ — 16-inch UHD+ Tandem OLED, 99.9Wh Battery, 2-in-1 Design

MSI’s entry is the Prestige N16 Flip AI+, a 2-in-1 convertible in a thin-and-light 16-inch chassis. The display is a UHD+ Tandem OLED panel, and the battery capacity is 99.9Wh — among the largest in the RTX Spark laptop lineup announced so far.

The Prestige N16 Flip AI+ targets creators, professionals, and gamers who want the flexibility of a convertible alongside NVIDIA AI acceleration and a high-resolution OLED screen. The 2-in-1 form factor expands the use cases beyond traditional laptop workflows.
