Alienware laptops are characterized by their funky designs targeting the younger audience, most of the models reflecting fantasy themes. Catering to the company founder's penchant for the hit television series, 'The X files', the laptop range sported names such as Area 51, and MJ-12, alongside other exiting names like the Aurora series, and the Sentia series. Despite having playful exteriors and titles, most of the products from Alienware use cutting edge technology and offer long trouble-free performance.

Depending on the user preferences and what he/she wishes to use the laptop for, there are laptops of different levels ranging from entry level machines to extreme high-end systems. Entry level laptops use processors like the Intel Celeron M370 or the Intel Core Duo T2300 using either Windows XP Home Edition or the Media Center Edition. These laptops incorporate a maximum of 512 MB RAM with a 40 GB hard drive and a CD-RW DVD combo drive. The screen size may vary between 12.1' to 14'. The configurations of the mid-range laptops are slightly higher with bigger screens and larger storage capacity. A mid-range laptop to be noted is the Superman Returns Edition Notebook. Everything about this system, from the S symbol on the outer case, to the look and feel of the operating system, and the desktop themes revolve around the famous superhero.

The high-end and the extreme laptop are top-of-the-rung products offering state-of-the-art functioning with fast processors, large memory, tremendous storage capacities, and quality optical drives.
