Ever since Nvidia announced that the Pascal graphics cards will be coming to the laptops, all gaming laptop manufacturers have been scrambling to update their own laptops with the GTX 10 series graphics cards. Dell is no exception, and today, they’ve finally announced the new Alienware laptops.
Designed to be “VR Ready,” the new Alienware models, the Alienware 13, Alienware 15 and Alienware 17, will all sport Pascal graphics cards. The laptops themselves will be receiving a shrink a size with the Alienware 17 now 30mm thin, while both the Alienware 15 and 13 will have a thickness of 22mm. All laptops will also come with Windows Hello-compatible cameras.
Specifications for all three laptops will be customizable, but Dell has revealed that both the Alienware 15 and Alienware 17 will be able to come with an Intel Core i7 6820HK processor that is overclocked to 4.1GHz, a GTX 1080 graphics card, up to 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage. Dell will also be giving an option that would allow you to equip both the Alienware 15 and 17 with a G-Sync capable 120Hz display. Unfortunately, Dell did not reveal any details about the Alienware 13.
For those looking at the Alienware 17, Dell has mentioned that it will offer the Tobii eye tracking technology as an optional feature. This piece of tech is the same one that can be found on Acer’s newest Predator Monitor and Predator 21 X laptop, allowing you to use your eyes to affect gameplay. For a more practical use, this tech will also allow you to turn on the Alienware 17 just by looking at the Alienware logo.
No prices were given for the Alienware laptops just yet, but Dell did reveal that the Alienware 15 and 17 will be available later this month. The Alienware 13 and the GTX 1080 Alienware 17 will be available in November.
