Some additional features of my laptop
NVIDIA PureVideo HD — Featuring the NVIDIA PureVideo HD video engine. The GPU delivers full 1080p, eye-popping visual clarity for Blu-ray and Hi-def videos. By taking on all video decoding, the processor is freed up to better support higher bit-rates and features such as picture-in-picture movies and interactive menus.
NVIDIA PowerMizer System Extensions — The dedicated PowerMizer microcontroller constantly monitors application and device activity to turn devices on when needed and put them back to sleep when they’re not. Microsecond responsiveness ensures power savings without adverse effects on performance.
DirectX 10 — Delivers dynamic lighting and shading, along with 3D film-quality effects for collisions and larger-than-life explosions, creating a lifelike gaming experience.
PhysX by NVIDIA – The most powerful physics engine which enables real-time physics on your Alienware M17x. PhysX will not only provide an exponential increase in processing power, but will take gaming to a new level by delivering the richest, most immersive gaming environments.
CUDA by NVIDIA — A general-purpose, parallel computing architecture that leverages the parallel compute engine in NVIDIA GPUs to solve many complex computational problems in a fraction of the time required on a CPU.
BinaryGFX — With Alienware’s BinaryGFX technology, users have the ability to switch between discrete or integrated graphics.
Stealth Mode — While in Stealth Mode, discrete graphics cards are turned off and other components throttle down to achieve a 65W power limit.
AlienSense — This facial recognition software identifies numerous distinguishing features, utilizing the M17x’s webcam to read and verify biometric measurements that cannot be faked or stolen like a typed password.
Webcam — The 2.0-megapixel webcam and digital microphone array lets you broadcast across the web, while wireless capabilities have you up and running anytime, anywhere.
