Features
Operating system
Available with Windows 11. |
The latest cooling technology
Take your gameplay to new heights, with Advanced Alienware Cryo-tech™, an electrical and mechanical engineering approach that maintains system stability during moments of intense performance. This approach implements quad fan technology, unique power states and Element 31i, an Alienware-exclusive gallium-silicone thermal interface material. |
Element 31
Take on marathon gaming sessions with ease, thanks to Element 31, an Alienware-exclusive gallium-silicone thermal interface material that offers a 25% improvement in thermal resistancei and double the energy storage capability of previous generationsi. Only available on systems with NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3070 Ti (Coming Soon) or 3080 Ti graphics cards.
Quad Fan Technology
Game with confidence with our patent-pending, independently controlled quad fan design. This new design includes standard evacuative fans as well as a dual opposite outlet (DOO) fan, which moves air through the chassis and over internal hotspots to create a pressurized environment that dissipates heat and reduces external temperatures.
Unique Power States
Tailor your PC to your needs by using one of the five unique power states made available via the Alienware Command Center. Choose from Performance Mode, Balanced Mode, Battery Saver Mode, Quiet Mode and Full Speed Mode, which can also be toggled using FN+F1.
High-performance features
Experience high-performance action across your favorite games and applications with up to 14-core 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors. Plus, push performance to its limit with post-purchase user-upgradeable memory SO-DIMMs, up to 64GB of DDR5 memoryi and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ graphics that feature NVIDIA Dynamic Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology, Ray Tracing, and NVIDIA Max-Q technologies. Boost Performance with AI NVIDIA DLSS is designed to increase performance, without sacrificing quality, by using cutting-edge AI. More Immersive Experiences Ray Tracing enables realistic and immersive graphics, which runs fast thanks to 2nd gen RT Cores. Optimized Power and Performance NVIDIA Max-Q is a suite of technologies powered by AI that optimize laptops to deliver high performance in thin form factors. |
Level up your play
Perform at your peak for hours on end with the support of HyperEfficient 12-phase graphics voltage regulation and 6-phase processor voltage regulation. These unique technologies enable GPUs and CPUs to run at high levels, specifically during extended periods of gameplay. |
An elevated visual & audio experience
Get immersed in the game with a PC that supports Dolby Vision™ and Dolby Atmos®. Dolby Vision™ incorporates metadata defined by studios and developers, thereby enabling optimal color profiles and breathtaking visual experiences. Dolby Atmos®, on the other hand, provides a scalable sound technology that places every voice and instrument in its own space—so you can experience a game exactly as the creators envisioned. Advanced Display Options The x17 R2 caters to your need for silky-smooth gameplay with a wide range of display panel options, ranging from FHD 165Hz through FHD 360Hzi, all with response times rated at 3ms or less. Plus, all panel options are also equipped with innovative technologies, such as ComfortView Plus, NVIDIA® G-SYNC®, Advanced Optimus and Windows Hello facial recognition. ComfortView Plus is a hardware-based low blue light filter that doesn’t consume resources or hurt performance, while Advanced Optimus is a technology from NVIDIA® that enables longer battery life and the tear-free, stutter-free gameplay of NVIDIA® G-SYNC®. |
The superior keyboard
Enhance your play with a highly responsive keyboard that features RGB LED lighting, N-key rollover technology, anti-ghosting technology, 1.5mm key-travel and conveniently placed, right-hand side media keys. Plus, ramp up the action with incredible ease, by quickly toggling between “Full Speed” and “Balanced” power states by pressing FN+F1. |
Codeveloped with Cherry
Turn heads and keep them spinning with an optional mechanical keyboard that delivers 1.8mm key-travel and an exceptionally tactile and audible experience. Designed with Advanced Butterfly Technology, this optional keyboard also provides a smooth, wobble-free feeling when gaming—whether you’re hitting the center of a key or not. Plus, thanks to German engineered stainless-steel switchesi, gold-plated electrical contact enclosures and a 15 million keystroke lifecycle, performance and longevity are all but guaranteed. |
Evolved design
Our new Legend 2.0 design features a pure geometric balance, a dark core feature and a silky-smooth finish accentuated by our specially engineered, stain-resistant paint. Plus, our bespoke AlienFX RGB lighting takes your style up a notch, with support for up to 16.8 million colors and a new stadium lighting zone. |
Boundary-breaking connectivity
Let the lightning-fast games begin with the high-speed capabilities of Killer Wi-Fi 6E and USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, which transfers data at up to 40Gbps. Plus, enjoy these speeds with unprecedented convenience, thanks to a layout that places all video ports at or near the back of the system, rather than on the sides. |
Tailored experiences

The latest version includes easy-to-customize AlienFX settings, intuitive overclocking options, and unique power management modes based on your personal preferences.
