SINGAPORE, Feb. 13, 2015 – Alienware, a leader in high-performance gaming systems, today unveiled its latest Alienware 15 and 17 laptops and for the first time in Singapore, the Alienware Alpha Console. The new devices round up the Alienware portfolio following the recent launches of Alienware 13, the innovative Alienware Graphics Amplifier and legendary Area-51 desktop to address the needs of enthusiast gamers that demand the most powerful gaming systems in the universe.
Alienware’s latest portfolio includes the Alienware 13 and 15 laptops for avid gamers who require mobility while still being able to enjoy high-performance gaming on-the-go; and the Alienware 17 for the gaming enthusiast looking for an immersive, graphics-intensive experience. The new laptops are designed for performance and gaming scalability – whether pairing the devices with the Alienware Graphics Amplifier for ultimate gaming at home or taking high frames per second (FPS) matches on the road.
“Alienware prides itself in delivering cutting edge devices which revolutionize gaming through listening and understanding gamers’ needs,” said Chue Chee Wei, managing director, Consumer & Commercial Business for Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Philippines at Dell. “The devices which we are introducing today bring together futuristic form factors, and functional and innovative features which are synonymous with the Alienware brand.”
Futuristic designs for the new age of gaming
In line with Alienware’s commitment to superb gaming experience, the new Alienware laptops are designed to be thinner without compromising on performance. The recently launched Alienware 13 is by far Alienware’s thinnest laptop ever, and the new Alienware 15 and 17 are both more than 20 percent thinner than their predecessors. Built with elements such as copper, aluminum and aerospace-inspired carbon fiber-filled materials for a rigid and performance-focused mechanical design, the Alienware 13, 15 and 17 focus on components that matter to gamers. The laptops also have a premium full-size keyboard with reinforced metals for uniform typing feedback, ensuring comfortable travel and quick responsiveness for gamers in action.
Engineered for advanced gaming, and redefining the immersive gaming experience
Alienware pushes the boundaries of bringing gamers the best visuals of the future. Packed with the latest gaming technologies, gamers are now able to enjoy even the smallest of details and appreciate the most graphically stunning games. Despite its small frame, the Alienware 13 does not compromise on visual clarity, offering an optional display powering a 2,560×1,440 QHD resolution.
Alienware also presents its first Ultra HD 4K screen on a notebook with the Alienware 15, which also comes in FHD option. The optional Ultra HD panel boasts an impressive 3,840×2,160 resolution — 4x the base LCD option -– bringing users the ultimate visual revolution on their laptops. Gamers who demand a large screen will favour the Alienware 17 which prioritizes screen size and picture quality, providing gamers with wide, vivid viewing experience on a notebook. All three laptops also provide optional touchscreen technology for maximum usability.
The new Alienware 15 and 17 are also packed with Intel Core i7 quad-core processors and NVIDIA GTX 980m graphics to deliver maximum graphics performance for even the most intensive games. The Alienware 17 offers a higher base graphics option and higher maximum CPU option than any other Alienware notebooks, promising supreme speed and performance as gamers immerse themselves in the action.
“For more than 40 years, Intel has invented and produced industry-leading microprocessor technology to power a wealth of devices, ranging from massive data centers and sleek 2in1 devices to smartphones and tablets. The close cooperation we have with partners like Dell enables us to bring these innovations to market and I would like to offer my heartiest congratulations to the Dell team on the launch of these cutting-edge devices,” said Sumner Lemon, Country Manager, Intel Malaysia and Singapore.
“With Moore’s Law celebrating its 50th year anniversary this year, Intel is committed to driving the PC evolution even further through our ongoing collaboration with partners like Dell.”
The Alienware 13, 15 and 17 help gamers outpace their rivals with the latest performing networking technologies such as the Killer gigabit Ethernet and the Killer Wireless 802.11ac WiFi. Powered by Klipsch and Creative Soundblaster X-FI technologies, users will enjoy the best sound quality they need when playing their favourite videogames.
Amplifying the legendary gaming performance
When paired with the optional Alienware Graphics Amplifier featuring a desktop GPU of your choice, gamers now have the perfect solution for the full rush of ultimate gaming. The Alienware Graphics Amplifier boosts the already potent gaming performance of laptops, providing desktop graphics quality gaming at home. By simply rebooting, users can get lost in the vivid display and massive performance boost of desktop-class graphics. It also features four powered USB 3.0 ports, so gamers can have instant access to their favorite peripherals and output directly to their gaming displays. The latest Alienware 15 and 17 laptops includes an Intel Core i7 processor configuration that is automatically overclocked when paired with the Graphics Amplifier for a more complete system performance.
Desktop gaming at a whole new level
The legendary Area-51 features an iconic new Triad functional design that exceeds gamers’ requirements for easy access to front and rear ports, providing DIY enthusiasts with an open and comfortable chassis design for future upgrades. It also optimizes airflow for exceptional heat dissipation that ensures maximum performance. Loaded with Intel’s latest six or eight core Haswell-E Core i7 K-series processors, graphics options from both AMD or NVIDIA, and up to 32GB of Quad Channel DDR4 memory, the Area-51 can support up to three full-length double-wise graphics cards to enable 11,520×2,160 resolution across triple Ultra HD 4K monitor providing users with superb speed and visuals for extreme gaming action.
More than just a console
The Alienware Alpha brings the best of both worlds together by combining the freedom of PC gaming with the ease of a console.
