As much as the game laptops have improved considerably in recent years, all this power always comes with an important compromise. You sacrifice a lot of portability to play PC games on the point. And although his latest models can not pass for thin and bright light, Alienware has announced two new models that his new models that are so thin yet: the X15 and X17. On both, Alienware says the first is the most powerful laptop in the world of 15 inches in the world. In its thinnest iteration, the X15 is 1.59 cm thick (0.64 inch).
To put things in perspective, the Asus Zephyrus G15 and the advanced RAZER blade, two of the best 15-inch game laptops you can buy for the moment, come to 1.95 cm (0.77 inch) and 1.58 cm (0.62 inch) thick, respectively. The X17, as for it, measures 2.09 cm (0.82 inch) thick, which makes it comparable to the blade of 1.99 cm (0.78 inch) Pro 17.
As you could imagine, Alienware plays all the work he has put into ensuring that the X15 and X17 does not bake their components. Both include four internal fans. Alienware sensors are placed in and around critical components help an assisted program to control each independently. The company says it has also installed very effective voltage regulators to help heat dissipation. The models with an RTX 3070 and more come with a special gallium silicon compound applied to the CPU. The company states that the thermal interface is 25% better to transfer heat to heat heat that the solution used in its previous M15 R4 laptop.
Each is also delivered with vents on top, bottom, back and sides of its lower frame. The result is a design that leaves one or the other computer without several side ports. Both work only a power input at one end and a headphone jack on the other. Which leaves all their other Io relegated to the back. In the case of the X15, you get a single USB-A port, two USB-C connections, a microSD machine and an HDMI 2.1 output. The X17, meanwhile comes with two USB-C and USB-A ports, an Ethernet jack, a microSD and HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4.
Internally, the X15 and X17 processors have recently announced the H series processors from the 11th generation series H. Both come with the I7 11800H standard of 16 wires of 8 cores, which you can upgrade to the i9 11900H. Each is also delivered with 16 GB of 3,200 MHz RAM by default. You can configure the X15 with up to 32GB of RAM, while the X17 max. 64 GB. Storage starts at 256 GB via an NVME. With a single SSD, 2TB is the max, but you can also opt for a dual-drive configuration for a total of 4 ear.
Things are more complicated when you arrive at 3D cards on each model. The X15 and X17 are supplied with the RTX 3060 standard, and you can pay a supplement to upgrade RTX 3070 or RTX 3080. But if the GPU raw power is all you are after, the X17 is the way to leave because it comes with the powerful version of each card. On the X15, for example, the RTX 3070 can pull a maximum of 110W of power and strengthen its clock speed at 1.410 MHz. On the other hand, the RTX 3070 of the X17 can fire as many 140w and booster at 1 620 MHz. With the RTX 3080, you can also get a RGB touchpad.
