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.
