The Alienware 13, when it ships in December, will bring a lot of firsts for Alienware. First and foremost, it's the first 13-inch gaming laptop from Dell - an interesting statistic as Alienware, the gaming arm of Dell, isn't exactly new to the scene.The Alienware 13 is also the thinnest laptop they've ever made at just over one-inch thick. That's still a fair amount larger than the Razer Blade, which measures in at an incredible .66 inches, but the fact that Alienware is closing that gap is amiable.If it's only one-inch thick and 4.5 pounds, how can it withstand the everyday dings and bumps that occur in our bags?
