Dell Unveils The New Alienware x15 & x17 Gaming Laptops

Dell has officially revealed the Alienware x15 and x17 gaming laptops with an ultra-thin design.

Dell has re-engineered its cooling design to cool down the most powerful components. One of the biggest upgrades in the redesign is the new Element 31 thermal interface material. Element 31 is made up of an encapsulated Gallium-Silicone liquid metal compound. The design also includes a quad fan design to maximize cooling. The Fans also utilize its A. I through Smart fan control technology that uses sensors to individually control each fan.
