Alienware 15 and 17:
Alienware 15 and 17 gaming laptops will offer new 8th-Gen Intel Core i5, i7, and i9 processors with up to six cores, enabling overclocking up to 5.0Ghz. The company has mechanically engineered improved cooling technology – Alienware Cryo-Tech v2.0, with 50 per cent thinner fan blades and a vapour chamber on the CPU to cool down the higher number of cores more efficiently.
Alienware has included the next gen of Alienware Command Center into its latest laptops’ line-up. Debuted at CES 2018, this new interface helps gamers optimise, overclock, and tune Alienware PCs and peripherals to their gaming needs. Catering further to user-customisation, the Alienware Command Center gives gamers complete control over the Alienware 15 and 17 laptops’ thirteen programmable lighting zones supporting full RGB values and up to 16.8M colours.
Joining the Alienware 15 and 17’s iconic space grey aesthetic, the company welcomes a new Epic Black colour option in both sizes.
