Alienware and Dell are launching six new Windows 10 gaming laptops based on the new 8th Gen Intel Core high performance processors, with enhancements over prior generations.
Dell is also debuting Dell G Series, revitalizing the Dell Gaming portfolio, starting at $749.
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. To extract maximum performance from Intel's top processors, Alienware mechanically engineered improved cooling technology, Alienware Cryo-Tech v2.0, with 50% thinner fan blades and a vapor chamber on the CPU to cool down the higher number of cores more efficiently. The result is a measurable 10% performance boost, according to Dell.
Alienware has incorporated the next generation of Alienware Command Center into its latest lineup of laptops. Debuted at CES 2018, this simple new interface helps novice and experienced gamers optimize, overclock, and tune Alienware PCs and peripherals.
