Dell recently announced two new Alienwares, Dell's ultimate line-up of premium gaming-grade laptops. All the three Alienwares are equipped with mobile pascal graphic chips designed by Nvidia. They also reportedly made use of Intel's current generation Skylake processors with all of them being top-of-the-line i7 chips.
Alienware's VR-capable graphic chips are also equipped with Intel's current Skylake processors peaking up to 4ghz in terms of clock speeds with boost speeds up to 4.7ghz in the safest overclocks possible. Out of the three newly announced, we'll consider the top-two of those being the Alienware 15 and its big brother Alienware 17.
Alienware 13 is a bit more limited in terms of hardware choices. However, there is a plus point for Alienware 13 as it is the only touch-capable display out of all the three newly introduced laptops.
Coming to terms about the Alienware 15, they do give you options to opt for an i5 or i7. With about 32GB of memory storage expandable, the base memory capacity incepts at 8GB with the RAM standards being DDR4.
In terms of performance, you do get an on-board graphics chip with Intel's HD530 alongside Nvidia's Maxwell series mobile graphic cards with a maximum upgrade to GTX 980M and 8GB of VRAM. There are some fantastic storage options too where you've options to choose from 1TB of SATA storage or you could straight away ascend to the PCIe SSD also with 1TB of storage alongside the 1TB of SATA storage to take full advantage of speeds and storage.
"Getting lost isn't the problem. It's the goal." Now coming to the Alienware 17, they're built with premium materials and the latest components. Utilizing magnesium alloy for rigidity, copper for better performance and steel for tactile comfort, it features a high-quality design for high-performance gaming. What's the best point is this variant with 17 inches of screen size also comes with Nvidia's Pascal series of graphics alongside AMD's latest generation Polaris series chips. The chips are overclocked to 4.1ghz along with base memory speeds of 2667mhz.
The 17" QHD 120Hz display is designed to deliver the smoothest gaming experience with 4ms response time, wide viewing angles, 400 nits of brightness, and NVIDIA G-Sync technology on select modules.
NVIDIA G-Sync delivers the smoothest and fastest experience ever, thanks to its ability to synchronize display refresh rates to the GPU in your GeForce GTX-powered PC, eliminating screen tearing and minimizing both display stutter and input lag.
With the entire ventilation system upgraded, your system can stay cool even under extreme graphics pressure. Rest of the specifications aforementioned are the same in terms of primary hardware with inclusions of Thunderbolt USB-C ports which boost transfer speeds up to 40gbps.
All the three alienwares come with Killer Wireless technology along with Alienware's graphic amplifier support.
