Conquer without compromise
18-inch laptop featuring dual graphics and Full HD display for high-intensity gaming on our most powerful 18" laptop ever.
Performs like no other!
The Alienware 18 is a monster gaming powerhouse. Every detail is engineered to give you the most intense experience possible.

The standard dual graphics provide more graphics performance than any of our notebooks enabled with an ultra-efficient cooling system designed for high performance.

The copper heat sinks provide superior cooling for each module individually enabling longer game play at full power and the three exhaust vents push air from the bottom of the system through the heat sinks out the rear ensuring optimal heat management.

Maximum performance with dual graphics
Get in the game like never before with standard dual graphics from NVIDIA that deliver increased performance, better image rendering and higher frame rates.

Charge through the most intense stages of your favorite games with the optional NVIDIA® SLI® enabled Dual NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 980M graphics with 8GB of GDDR5 memory on each card. For added impact, NVIDIA® PhysX brings your games to life with dynamic, interactive environments while NVIDIA® Adaptive Vertical Sync prevents image tearing for nearly seamless gaming sessions.

Upgradeable and Factory-overclocked for max performance
The Alienware 18 is our most powerful laptop. Ever. You can experience blazing speeds of up to 4.4GHz with all 4th generation Intel® Core i7 processors factory-overclocked. Unleash the speed and performance you need to dominate in everything you do.

The Alienware 18 processor is attached to a chipset socket, which allows you to upgrade and replace your CPU at anytime and free your system from any bottleneck by choosing 32GB DDR3L memory.

Connect and conquer
A built-in Killer Gigabit Ethernet NIC identifies and prioritizes your network traffic so latency-sensitive streams that require maximum speed, like games or video chat, are prioritized over less-important traffic. See which applications are hogging your bandwidth and limit them using Visual Bandwidth Control™ so they don’t interfere with your games. Or go wireless with a Broadcom 5G WiFi adapter for faster speeds, better range and improved battery life.
