Alienware, Telkom urge fans to "bring their game-face" to rAge 2015


Johannesburg, 08 Oct 2015

Alienware would like to announce that it will exhibit its highly anticipated portfolio of products, featuring the Alienware X51 gaming desktop, updated Alienware 13, 15 and 17 notebooks at rAge 2015.

The expo is South Africa's biggest annual video gaming, computer, technology and geek culture exhibition, which will be held at the Ticketpro Dome in Northgate, Johannesburg, and it will take place this Friday to Sunday, 9-11 October 2015.

This year, Alienware has once again partnered with Telkom Do-Gaming at rAge and it is excited to be a sponsor and part of the Telkom Do Gaming League. "Alienware is looking to invest more into the local gaming market, and in 2015, we will be sponsoring the league once again," says Chris Buchanan, Dell Client Solutions Director from Dell South Africa. "Alienware will be sponsoring X51 desktop computer bundles for the championships, valued at nearly R30 000, to the winners."

Alienware will also host a "Bring your Game-Face" social media competition at the Telkom stand. Attendees at rAge are encouraged to come past the Alienware exhibition, where a digital photo booth will be set up, and Alienware fans can have their photographs taken. The photos will then be sent simultaneously to their e-mail address and to the "Alienware Do-Gaming Facebook" album on the Telkom Do-Gaming Facebook page. To enter, Alienware fans need to visit and like the Telkom Do-Gaming Facebook page, find their photo tag, like and share the image using the hashtag #RageGameFace, and load it up to their social media platforms and spread the word about the amazing new Alienware products. The top five random participants in the Alienware activation will stand a chance to win some amazing prizes, all sponsored by Alienware.

The first prize is an Alienware X51 Desktop unit, kitted with a Dell Ultrasharp 23-inch monitor, keyboard and mouse, valued at R25 000. The second prize is an Alienware Alpha Console valued at R10 500; third prize is an Alienware TactX Keyboard worth R1 500; fourth is an Alienware Vindicator Bag at R1 500; and fifth an Alienware TactX Headset valued at R1 000. There will also be various spot give-aways and prizes up for grabs, during the three-day gaming expo, at the Telkom stand.

The annual event highlights some of the best in gaming and it provides a platform to touch and feel, try and experiment with the brand new Alienware gadgets. Here is all the brand new information on the Alienware gear:

Alienware 13, 15 and 17 notebooks

The new Alienware notebooks offer over 20 updates and upgrades strategically implemented to give gamers what they need for the best gaming experience. Key improvements include patent-pending Dynamic Overclocking capabilities that constantly monitor temperature thresholds to ensure maximum CPU performance. Each updated notebook includes USB Type-C ports for USB 3.1 and Thunderbolt 3 technology support, plus PCIe SSD technology for significant 4GB/s throughput to ensure games, media and applications load fast. For uncompromised connectivity, Alienware implemented Killer Wireless-AC 1535 and Killer E2400 High-Performance Gigabit Ethernet controllers for improved speed and reliability while playing online games, streaming your game, or enjoying online HD video. All of these notebooks will also ship Windows 10, as well as support Windows 8.1. All Alienware laptops can extend to UltraHD 4k gaming when connected to an Alienware Graphics Amplifier featuring a 4k capable graphics card and an optional 4k display.

Among the unique options offered in the updated portfolio, the Alienware 17 offers an optional Ultra 4k display with the latest IGZO technology for higher quality images and lower power requirements. The same IGZO technology is available in the new optional touch QHD+ resolution panel for the Alienware 13, which can now deliver longer battery life with the available 62WHr battery. The Alienware 15 is first to market and the only notebook configurable with the new AMD Radeon R9 M395X graphics.

"This latest wave of products was inspired by our customers' continued demand for more performance and innovation," says Buchanan. "The new liquid cooling system and extending Graphics Amplifier support, incorporating the latest component technology, are just the latest developments from nearly two decades of commitment to gamers and their needs."
