Achieving engineering excellence and sustainability with the X architecture
The engineering and design teams have leveraged premium materials such as magnesium and stamped aluminum with CNC for structural rigidity, thinness, and lightness. Using high spec materials, the Alienware X-Series achieves its super-thin form factor without compromising performance in an entirely new design layout. Furthermore, under Dell’s 2030 Moonshot Goals, the X-Series comes with a low VOC (volatile organic compounds) waterborne paint. The sustainable, stain-resistant paint provides a soft, highly tactile experience for high-wear surfaces and is better for the planet.
