Alienware today announced its new portfolio of products, featuring the next generation Alienware X51 gaming desktop, updated Alienware 13, 15 and 17 notebooks, and, back for a limited time, the Alienware 18 notebook. The Alienware X51 has a compact size, offers massive performance and customization options. For the first time the X51 will offer a custom liquid cooling solution, as well as support for the Alienware Graphics Amplifier.

Fitting into the same small form factor, the CPU cooling solution reduces noise output and can push the latest 6th-gen Intel Core i5K and i7K unlocked processors to peak performance. Gamers that want to go beyond the X51’s Nvidia GTX 960 graphics can now enjoy 4k gaming when connected to the Graphics Amplifier and a 4k display (both sold separately), supporting discrete GPUs options including the Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan X.

Memory upgrades include support for DDR4 memory, new M.2 PCIe SSDs for increased bandwidth up to 4GB/s, and USB 3.1 ports that can improve throughput when attaching select devices. Now with Windows 10, the latest Alienware X51 can power more realistic graphics and smooth gameplay with DirectX 12.

The new Alienware notebooks offer over 20 updates and upgrades. Key improvements include patent-pending Dynamic Overclocking capabilities that constantly monitor temperature thresholds to ensure maximum CPU performance. Each updated notebook includes USB Type-C ports for USB 3.1 and Thunderbolt 3 technology support, plus PCIe SSD technology for significant 4GB/s throughput.

Alienware implemented Killer Wireless-AC 1535 and Killer E2400 High-Performance Gigabit Ethernet controllers for improved speed and reliability while playing online games. All of these notebooks will also ship Windows 10, as well as support Windows 8.1. All Alienware laptops can extend to UltraHD 4k gaming when connected to an Alienware Graphics Amplifier featuring a 4k capable graphics card and an optional 4k display.

Among the unique options offered in the updated portfolio, the Alienware 17 offers an optional Ultra 4k display with the latest IGZO technology. The same IGZO technology is available in the new optional touch QHD+ resolution panel for the Alienware 13, which can now deliver longer battery life with the available 62WHr battery. The Alienware 15 is first to market and the only notebook configurable with the new AMD Radeon R9 M395X graphics.

Alienware’s most powerful notebook ever is back. Now available, the Alienware 18 has returned with its 18 inch display, on-board dual graphics options, plus an overclocked and upgradeable CPU.

Dell also adds another layer of performance and choice fro gamers. The new 27" Dell 27 Monitor (S2716DG) supports Nvidia’s G-Sync Gen II technology and the fastest possible refresh rate at 144Hz, while its swift 1ms response rate offers virtually no input lag.

Today Dell also announced its first 27" curved monitor. This new Dell 27 Monitor (SE2716H) has a thin bezel design and offers rich audio with dual 9W integrated speakers.
