Alienware is celebrating its 20th anniversary as a pioneer in high-performance PC gaming systems with its first-ever VR-ready notebooks. The new line of notebooks boasts the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10-Series family of GPUs, bringing desktop-class graphics performance for enhanced capabilities and realistic gameplay.
“Gaming is in a time of renaissance right now; awesome games and development, amazing resolutions and technology, plus the pure excitement around VR experiences – it’s an incredible driving force and it feels similar to the energy that started Alienware 20 years ago,” said Raymond Wah, Senior VP, Consumer Product Marketing, Dell. “These new notebooks are a product of that history and approach, but also of the demands and expectations of gamers today. Being true to both is what Alienware is about and we’re proud to bring these notebooks to gamers.”

Wah takes a look back at milestones in Alienware's 20-year history. |
Innovative engineering that focuses on gamers first is a hallmark of Alienware’s two-decade industry success. The demands for higher resolutions, more realistic gameplay and virtual reality have ushered in the need for more performance, and for Alienware, better design. Alienware’s latest engineering advancements include the integration of new construction materials to improve thermal management for these powerful components, as well as to add durability and rigidity to the Alienware design aesthetic. This ground-up approach to design has helped deliver performance and has enabled these new notebooks to be thinner than their predecessors.
New materials such as anodised aluminum, magnesium alloy, steel reinforcement and copper add form and function. Aluminum and magnesium alloy improve design quality and rigidity, while anti-smudge finishes add great utility to the new look. Adding copper to the thermal solution has improved cooling capabilities across both CPU and GPU. Combined with the new hinge-forward design, notebook ventilation can increase performance as most thermal dissipation leaves up and out the rear.
The all-new Alienware TactX keyboard introduces an optimised RGB LED for better key lighting, plus a full 2.2mm of gaming-grade travel that simulates a mechanical keyboard, and is steel-reinforced for durability. To improve audio output, a new speaker design includes internal smart-amps that monitor audio waveforms, enabling the use of the entire thermal margin of the speaker for stronger sound.

The new Alienware 17 is the ultimate gaming notebook with an emphasis on screen size, gaming performance and overall immersion. The flagship notebook gains more power with overclocked Intel Core i7 k-series processors and DDR4 memory running up to 2,667 Mhz.
Newly-added support for optional infrared (IR) Tobii eye-tracking technology adds undeique accessibility features activated by where the user is looking. Gamers can finetune their skills with a new Overwolf app that can replay gaze patterns so gamers can track where they were looking during gameplay.
Tobii partnered with Alienware to add exclusive features including enhanced presence detection tied to AlienFX lighting zones; the full LED system illuminates and changes based on where the user looks. Only on Alienware will the Tobii camera detect the gaze, record and export gaze patterns to help improve gameplay. It can also sense presence and attention to determine when the user is engaged with various elements of the device or when the user has left, locking the system thereafter.

Balancing superior gaming performance with portability, the new mid-size Alienware 15 is for gamers who want the best of both. It comes with graphics options from AMD and NVIDIA, including the VR-ready NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060.
Coming standard with a 15.6” FHD, in-plane switching (IPS) anti-glare 300-nits display, additional options include a FHD 120Hz display with NVIDIA G-Sync for smooth, synchronised frame rates and UHD IGZO for 4K resolutions.
Battery life is exceptionally long with a 68 watt-hour lithium ion battery and an optional 99 watt-hour battery to enable extended gameplay when away from a plug.

The Alienware Aurora, launched in June, is a mid-tower desktop with full-scale power and performance that supports optimised VR experiences. Smaller than the previous Aurora, it boasts even more dedicated graphics and overclocking potential, including the latest generation NVIDIA GeForce cards. Ideal for 4K gaming and up to 12K gaming as a dual-graphics capable desktop, the desktop features the latest Intel CPUs, available with liquid cooling, and overclockable memory available with Kingston Fury X running at 2,400 MHz.
The Aurora sports Alienware’s first chassis with tool-less access for easy swapping of GPUs and as many as three of the five potential storage drives. These and other innovations join the solid lineup of Alienware software including custom lighting with AlienFX and total control with Alienware Command Center.
Additional options include the Alienware Graphics Amplifier, a compact plug-in companion to Alienware notebooks. The Amplifier supports full-length, double-wide, PCI-Express x16 graphics cards, giving a graphics performance boost to the notebook without having to upgrade the core system.
The new Dell 27 Monitor (S2717DG) is specially designed for gaming with sharp, undistorted moving images, thanks to NVIDIA G-SYNC technology and a refresh rate of 144Hz. Its 1ms response rate offers virtually no input lag.
