The new Alienware gaming laptops feature high-performance hardware for demanding gamers and virtual reality enthusiasts. Dell opens offerings for both Oculus Rift and HTC Vive VR systems on these new Alienware gaming notebooks.
Alienware addresses the demands for higher resolutions and the high-performance hardware gamers today need. Aside from that, Alienware pushes for better design by integrating new concepts such as the use of anodized aluminum, steel reinforcement, magnesium alloy and copper to create stability and function. The cutting-edge technology used in combining these new materials made the new generation Alienware gaming laptops thinner than its predecessors.
