Alienware Area-51 m15x
GPU
World's Fastest Notebook GPU
Equip your Area-51® m15x with an NVIDIA® GeForce™ 8800M GTX with 512MB of dedicated graphics memory and experience the world’s fastest notebook GPU. It features a core clock running at 500MHz and a 1,250MHz shader clock.
16X full-screen anti-aliasing capabilities mean that not only does the GeForce 8800M GTX allow you to run circles around any game opponent, but you can take them out long before they even know you’re coming. NVIDIA armed the GeForce 8800M GTX with some of the most advanced graphics technology imaginable.
DirectX® 10 — delivers dynamic environmental lighting and weather along with film-quality effects for collisions, smoke, fog and larger-than-life explosions, creating a life-like gaming experience.
NVIDIA PureVideo HD — relieves the CPU of all Blu-ray Disc® decoding, freeing the processor to support features such as “picture-in-picture” movies, interactive games and menus and higher bit-rates.
NVIDIA Lumenex engine — delivers ultra-smooth images at higher frame rates for enhanced realism in gaming.
The Area-51 m15x features Alienware’s BinaryGFX technology. The NVIDIA graphics card operates in conjunction with an integrated graphics processor for the ultimate blend of performance and power. The onboard graphics processor reduces power consumption during low intensity tasks. Switching to the GeForce 8800M GTX unleashes your computer’s full graphics capabilities
CPU
Performance-Rich Technology
By placing two cores on a single chip, dual-core technology generates unprecedented efficiency and processing power, allowing for advanced multitasking and demanding computational capabilities. This makes rendering out complex 3D models, editing HD video and digital audio or tearing through the latest DirectX® 10 game easier than ever before.
Intel® loaded the Core™ 2 Extreme with an abundance of performance-rich technologies in order to bring the user the most exciting gaming experience possible.
Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution — delivers more instructions per clock cycle for faster execution times.
Intel® Intelligent Power Capability — improves the energy efficiency of your notebook.
Intel® Smart Memory Access — optimizes the use and flow of available data bandwidth.
Intel® Advanced Smart Cache — by increasing cache efficiency, the Extreme mobile processor reduces latency times and increases responsiveness.
Intel® Advanced Digital Media Boost — introduces human-like artificial intelligence and real-world physics into gaming environments
COMMAND CENTER
Take Control
Command Center houses all of Alienware’s exclusive software. By placing programs like AlienFusion and AlienFX® in a single, user-friendly interface you gain more control over your own system.
AlienFX
Alienware’s unique lighting system, AlienFX lets you choose from an array of color and transition effects across six distinct zones including the notebook’s Alien logo, keyboard, touchpad and more.
AlienFusion
AlienFusion gives you access to your Alienware’s power management controls so you can decide when you need maximum performance or when you can scale back for more everyday programs, increasing energy efficiency and extending battery life.
The Alienware Command Center is a continuously upgradable control panel. As Alienware releases new programs, they download directly into the Command Center allowing you to build a library of system management, optimization and customization tools.
Smart Bay Swappable Drive
You need a notebook that is flexible, one that can adapt quickly and easily. If you have a sudden need for extra capacity, just slide out the optical drive and slide in the hot-swappable second hard drive. When you feel like watching a DVD, just swap the drives again. The Area-51 m15x even has a backup battery you can slide in for extended use on the go.
Next Generation Wireless
Connect anywhere on your Area-51 m15x while maintaining the fastest, most stable wireless connection with next-generation Draft-N wireless.
Watch It In High-Def
The Area-51 m15x’s 15.4-inch LCD achieves Extreme High-Definition 1200p so you can view video and Blu-ray Discs® at the highest possible resolutions.
Maximize Windows Vista
Windows Vista® Ultimate springs to life on the Area-51 m15x. Alienware’s advanced technology delivers the OS’s true potential.
Work And Play In Real-Time
More memory equals more options. Load your system with 4GB of DDR2 memory for resource intensive applications and multitasking.
INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
Revolutionizing the Industry
Magnesium Alloy Chassis
When developing the fastest notebooks ever created, you need a strong, lightweight chassis. By building our notebooks on a magnesium alloy chassis, we can provide our customers with the best of both worlds, a material lighter than steel with far more rigidity than plastic.
Heat Management
Proper thermal management is key to system performance. With the notebook’s magnesium alloy chassis, we can cool the internal structures enabling the fastest processors and graphics cards. In addition to the internal details, Alienware designed notebooks have dual air exhaust, porting hot air away from the user.
Case Design
Alienware revolutionized case design in the computer industry, shattering all prior conventions. Since then, other companies have been trying to keep up. But just as no other notebook performs like an Alienware, no other notebook could ever look like one. Without fail, your notebook is instantly recognizable as an Alienware.
AlienFX Customizable Lighting
AlienFX® gives your notebook an extra dose of personality. Customize your Area-51® m15x with an array of lighting themes including a variety of colors and effects. Set visual alerts, sync with applications or just make your Alienware stand out from the crowd – more so than usual. Countless configurations across six distinct lighting zones mean your computer will truly be one of a kind.
Go Stealth For Longer Battery Life
Alienware notebooks pack ample power. They also allow you to curb that power when the need arises. The Area-51 m15x’s Stealth Mode throttles back the CPU and GPU, decreasing the notebook’s energy consumption and increasing battery life. Powering down the Area-51 m15x also reduces noise output. Higher energy efficiency and quieter running makes Stealth Mode especially beneficial when working unplugged and out in the field.
QuickTouch System Control Pad
The QuickTouch control pad illustrates the perfect blend of style and substance. Hot buttons in the notebook’s QuickTouch area respond to your touch, accessing key ********s and applications, including wireless and Bluetooth connectivity, volume controls, Command Center and Stealth Mode launch. Touch capacitive technology gives the Area-51 m15x a seamless design and construction, uninterrupted by cumbersome mechanical buttons and control knobs.
Seamless Touchpad
The Area-51 m15x’s seamless touchpad design exemplifies the impeccable attention to detail that goes into every Alienware.
Webcam And Microphone Array
Broadcast across the Web with a 2 megapixel webcam and microphone array allowing for richer voice and chat capabilities.
Personalized Nameplate
Our personal assurance to you that we hand build each notebook to your exact specifications so no two systems are alike.
