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 6-cores, enabling overclocking up to 5.0GHZ.

Debuted at CES 2018, this simple new interface helps novice and experienced gamers optimize, overclock, and tune Alienware PCs and peripherals.
