Evolved power – Alienware’s most powerful 13-inch gaming laptop.
You asked. We delivered. Customer feedback led to the first 13.3-inch laptop in Alienware history to feature quad core, H-class, processors.* The 7th Gen Intel® Core™ CPUs with 5x the graphics representation at 4K resolutions of its predecessori combined with NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 10-Series graphics, has you experiencing unstoppable gaming immersion wherever you go. From DDR4 memory and SSD-only storage, up to a 21% thinner design with incredible OLED LCD technology, the Alienware 13 has more muscle than ever before.
With the addition of the NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 and the latest generation of Intel® processors, the Alienware 13 is capable of producing high-end VR experiences. Other GPU configurations offer VR when connected to the Alienware Graphics Amplifier.
Windows Hello uses your face as a biometric login, securing your system in a more personalized fashion. And with Tobii Aware software, your battery life and overall system power will be dimmed or amplified based on your actual presence.
The Alienware Graphics Amplifier enables future proofing of upgradeable full length, dual-wide graphics and additional 4-port USB 3.0 hub for added peripherals. With a dedicated PCI-Express X4 Gen 3 with up to 40Gbps throughout, you never have to worry about the disadvantages that come with a shared connection.
Nothing between you and gaming.
Witness the difference a 13.3-inch LCD screen can make with supported HD, FHD and QHD resolution options. With the optional QHD OLED panel, you’ll experience more vivid and lifelike colors at a contrast ratio of 100,000:1 and with touch-technology, you’ll be able to input commands with blazing fast response time. Image details stay sharp and appear brighter thanks to an exceptional black representation. And with a higher color gamut (NTSC 104%), a more true-to-life color range is created, making every detail pop.
Meticulously designed to deliver a knockout performance.
An innovative hinge-forward design brings the thermal shelf to the rear, enabling a variety of improved benefits – like a thinner design, better ventilation, higher quality sound and external ports organization – to stand out for an incredible gaming experience.

Experience the full spectrum.
AlienFX uses 20 different colors to create over 25.6 billion unique themes to give your machine a more personalized look. Supported on over 130 titles, lighting zones can be customized to react to things like in game actions, powering on and off, and notifications by pulsing, morphing or simply holding a solid color. Once you’ve finished your theme, you can save and upload it to the Alienware Arena community site where you can share your custom creation with others and download any you find. And for times when you want a little less visual stimulation, AlienFX allows you to “Go Dark” by disabling all lighting effects until you’re ready to turn them back on.
