Some search far and wide for the “X factor” of mobile PC gaming — the unique and significant quality that makes a product exceptional . For Alienware, exceptional is part of our DNA and nothing brings that to life more than our Alienware X-Series: a brand newbrand-new mobile gaming family that exemplifies our values of bold innovation, high performance, iconic design and premium quality.
Today, with the launch of X-Series we’re proud to present the world’s Alienware’s thinnest 15” and 17” flagship GeForce RTX gaming laptops , introducing the first-ever Alienware x15 and Alienware x17. With breakthrough thermal system-level engineering controls to let you play the latest and greatest game titles with confidence, it boasts first-to-market patent-pending cooling technologies , the latest performance components, framerate-splitting displays and Legend 2.0 design features. What’s more, our collaboration with Intel helped us achieve one of the thinnest form factors ever seen in a PC of this caliber.
When developing the X-Series, we wanted to provide our community with more than just your everyday thin gaming laptop. We wanted to challenge the status quo and create something that redefines the ultimate mobile gaming experience. This was easier said than done due to the physical limitations and mechanical challenges that come with a thin laptop, but our team was able to overcome the challenge with tenacity, extra espresso shots, and several engineering breakthroughs.
So, what did it take to get to this auspicious debut?
If You Can’t Take the Heat…
Let’s begin with heat, the enemy of all gamers. Advancement in thermal technologies within mobile form factors continues to be the #1 request from our customers. The cooling solutions found on the market today present real dilemmas to PC builders and tradeoffs are always being made. It became apparent that tTo properly address these thermal limitations, we would need to look inwards and reinvent the game ourselves. We spared no expense on R&D , having discovered new materials and several new engineering methods, including five patent-pending , exclusive to Alienware. We’re proud of the work, and even more of the results.
We’ve engineered the next evolution of our Alienware Cryo-Tech(TM) cooling technology which introduces Element 31 , an exclusive thermal interface material (TIM) concocted from Encapsulated Gallium-Silicone liquid metal compound . This material exists between the CPUhottest PC components (CPU/GPU) and their thermal elements to disperse heat and mitigate spikes in core temperatures from affecting the system’s performance. Unlike what’s currently available on the market, the X-sSeries delivers up to a 25% improvement in thermal resistance advantage , but in order to dive into those patent-pending innovations that’ll require level 10 clearance to disclose.
Along with improved HyperEfficient Voltage Regulation for extended performance during long hours of gameplay, the X-Series offers more heat dissipation and gaming performance. The new exclusive Alienware Quad -Fan design blows air more efficiently through the system, chassis and internal hotspots, keeping designed to help keep your gaming engines cool wherever you go. Finally, our patent-pending Smart Fan control technology utilizes AI to enable improved application performance as each fan independently spins-up, slows-down or remains steady according to various sensors strategically placed around core system components. Pretty cool, huh?
The culmination of these proprietary technologies allows gamers to enjoy their favorite games at high performance within an exceptionally thin form factor, while maintaining an impressive level of quiet, and coolness, and higher performance than before.
Fly Like a Butterfly, Sting Like a Bee
At a first glance you’ll see that a lot is new with the X-Series design. These laptops feature an artfully crafted and evolved, Alienware Legend 2.0 design identity. While this new identity, featuring Dark Core, first-appeared on our recently announced Alienware m15 R5/R6 gaming laptops, X-Series enhances this second-gen iteration to unlock high-performance in ultra-thin forms.
Visually, it’s easy to be allured by the mesmerizing, single, continuous loop of bold stadium lighting, illuminating the rear hexagon venting pattern. Or the contour of smooth and gentle angles that produce purity of form. But it’s not just about the glamour appeal, the new X-Series is designed in parity with engineering to maximize thermal benefits. We’ve purposefully placed vents on the top and base of X-Series notebooks around the quad fan design to help amplify airflow rate and boost thermal performance.
