SEE GAMING IN A NEW LIGHT
Experience lifelike colors and rich blacks during every moment of the game with a UHD OLED display on the Alienware m15. An immersive technology that lights over 8,000,000 individually managed pixels, so even the most chaotic moments on the battlefield feel crisp. Thanks to 1ms response time, you can react with lighting speed to any action on screen.
And with uniform lighting on each light diode, panel edge bleeding is as absent as your opponent’s win streak. By combining the ultra-high definition of our 4K display with the high-contrast and wide color gamut of OLED, we’ve created a gaming experience that refuses to compromise.

DELIBERATELY SLIM. DECIDEDLY SAVAGE.
Survival of the thinnest: At 5% thinner and 20% lighter than the Alienware 13, the slim, lightweight design allows you to roam freely and get lost in the game everywhere you go.
Smaller bezel. Bigger visuals: Designed with our first-ever narrow-bezel display, the slimmer frame maximizes viewing space, allowing visuals to come alive with a crisp range of colors taking you even deeper in the game.
Gaming at a premium: Built with high-end industrial materials like magnesium alloy, the lightest structural metal in the world, the Alienware m15 is meticulously designed for a performance-driven user experience. In addition to its light weight, magnesium alloy improves rigidity, steel ensures tactile comfort and copper in the thermal module keeps the graphics and processor cool.
Low blue light technology: With the UHD OLED display panel comes with first-to-market Eyesafe® Display Technology that reduces the amount of harmful high energy blue light emanating from your screen, without color distortion, to keep you deep in the game longer.

ALIENWARE CRYO-TECH V2.0
Our advanced thermal technology, Alienware Cryo-Tech v2.0, optimizes component cooling, which maximizes overall performance and keeps your laptop cool. Here’s a closer look at our innovative cooling solution.
Dual-intake, dual-exhaust airflow design: Our thin and light chassis prioritizes performance with a dual fan design that pulls in cool air from the bottom vents, and exhales exhaust out the rear and side vents for optimal cooling of the core components.
High voltage driving fan: The fire resistant, liquid-crystal polymer fan is built with 0.2mm blades, sleeve bearings, and 3-phase fan control to create less friction and circulate air more efficiently. Over 90 unique blades cool both the CPU and GPU.
Load-balancing heat pipes: The dynamics of thermal activity across critical components like the GPU and the CPU are intelligently discharged across 2.5mm, and 6mm, copper-composite heat pipes.
Dense copper fin stacks: The Alienware m15 features best-in-class surface temperatures, largely due to a thermal module designed with 48.6 CCs of copper-designed fin stacks.
