Product Description

Pure Domination


Take control of the game once and for all with the Alienware  M15x, the universe’s most powerful 15" gaming laptop. Grab the reins of this 15" powerhouse with blazing-fast graphics, the latest in processor technology and Hi-def capabilities all in a devilishly sleek design. Sit back and enjoy the ride — gaming will never be the same.


The Future of Processing


The new Intel Core i7 mobile processors will take you even further with features like Intel’s Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost technologies that power through games, multimedia applications and your daily routine all at the same time.


Faster and Smarter


Destroy and conquer with DDR3 1333MHz memory, engineered to support the next-generation quad-core processors that are designed to bring you faster speeds and higher bandwidths.


In-Your-Face Action


Max out your game settings with NVIDIA GeForce GTS 260M graphics cards that deliver the highest frame rates at the best resolutions on a 15" laptop. They’ll never see you coming, because you’re always a step ahead.

NVIDIA PureVideo  HD — Featuring the NVIDIA PureVideo HD video engine. The GPU delivers full 1080p, eye-popping visual clarity for Blu-ray and Hi-def videos. By taking on all video decoding, the processor is freed up to better support higher bit-rates and features such as picture-in-picture movies and interactive menus.

NVIDIA PowerMizer  System Extensions — The dedicated PowerMizer microcontroller constantly monitors application and device activity to turn devices on when needed and put them back to sleep when they’re not. Microsecond responsiveness ensures power savings without adverse effects on performance.

DirectX 10 — Delivers dynamic lighting and shading, along with 3D film-quality effects for collisions and larger-than-life explosions, creating a lifelike gaming experience.

PhysXTM  by NVIDIA – The most powerful physics engine which enables real-time physics on your Alienware m15x. PhysX will not only provide an exponential increase in processing power, but will take gaming to a new level by delivering the richest, most immersive gaming environments.

CUDATM  by NVIDIA — A general-purpose, parallel computing architecture that leverages the parallel compute engine in NVIDIA GPUs to solve many complex computational problems in a fraction of the time required on a CPU.


Fierce Design


The M15x’s case design protects your world with aggressive lines and an in-your-face attitude that quickly dissipates system heat and looks good doing it. And you can personalize your machine from a selection of three colors: Metallic Red, Metallic Silver or Metallic Black.

QuickTouch System Control Pad — Run your fingers above the keyboard on your M15x and you won’t feel a thing. Your laptop, however, will. The Alienware QuickTouch control pad uses touch-capacitive sensors to access and manage power and volume controls, wireless connectivity and both Command Center and Stealth Mode launch functions. Illuminated by the dramatic AlienFX® lighting control system, QuickTouch renders mechanical buttons and control knobs obsolete.

Webcam — The 2.0MP webcam and digital microphone array let you broadcast across the web, while wireless capabilities keep you up and running anytime, anywhere.


Your Command Center


Alienware Command Center provides intuitive, user-friendly access to exclusive applications and controls, including AlienFX lighting effects software and the AlienFusion power management system. Updates and new releases download directly into Command Center, creating a constantly evolving tool for modifying and personalizing your M15x.


ALIENWARE COMMAND CENTER


Take Control

Alienware Command Center houses all of the custom software for your M15x. By placing programs like AlienFusion and AlienFX®  in a single, user-friendly interface, you gain more control over your own system.

AlienFX  — This unique lighting system lets you choose from an array of color and transition effects across six distinct zones, including the Alienware logo, keyboard, touchpad and more.

AlienFusion Power Manangement — Access your M15x’s power-management controls so you can decide when you need maximum performance or when to scale back for more everyday programs, ultimately increasing energy efficiency.

AlienTouch – Take advantage of advanced touchpad controls with AlienTouch. Customize your touchpad’s sensitivity to prevent accidental contact, modify “tap and drag” functions and even activate virtual scrolling to enable vertical and horizontal scrolling with just a brush of your finger.


Stealth Mode


Stealth Mode is designed to throttle back the CPU and GPU to decrease the energy consumption and noise output of the M15x. To engage Stealth Mode, simply use the Stealth Mode odometer, conveniently located above the keyboard with the touch-sensitive controls.

Security

AlienSense

AlienSense facial recognition software offers state-of-the-art security to M11x users. Utilizing the system’s webcam, AlienSense records and analyzes individual distinguishing features for unbelievable accuracy. Passwords can be forgotten, stolen or guessed, but biometric identification cannot.

Each time you log on to your M11x, AlienSense collects biometric data to constantly improve its speed and accuracy. The ability to learn allows AlienSense to adapt to day-to-day variations in your appearance, including hairstyle, whether you’re wearing glasses and even facial hair.

AlienSense has four separate security modes for varying degrees of desired protection:

* Face Login — Logs you on when you first access the computer and then performs no additional security checks until the computer is locked, logged off or rebooted.

* Auto User Switching — Automatically switches between user accounts when a new user approaches and is recognized. “Auto lock on unauthorized user” locks the laptop after 60 seconds of viewing an unrecognized face.

* Continuous Security — Your laptop is set to lock after a preset amount of time without a visible face. This is the highest security level that allows you to lock your computer automatically anytime you walk away from the system.
