About Intel i5-4210U
The machine's software structure is such that the CPU's average clock speed is always nearly to 2.4GHZ . So you can get all time high processing in i5 processor only.
While not as powerful as a Core i7 processor, the Alienware 13's 2.4-GHz Intel Core i5-4210U CPU with 16GB can still get the job done.
The processor integrates powerful Graphics called Intel HD Graphics 4400 with 20 Execution Units, initially clocked at 200MHz and that go up to 1000MHz, in Turbo Mode which share the L2 Cache and system RAM with the processor. So when the laptop is off from charging the machine graphics relies on 4400.

This is the main component of any gaming machine, the GPU. This machine gives a good gaming experiences but the GPU is not that much powerful as it should be for a gaming machine. Well, we shouldn't ignore the fact that its the cheapest of Alienware. But still, the card is able to process graphics very well due to the Alienware technology.
Although the GTX 860M has much less memory bandwidth and computing power, Many games of 2013/2014 (Tomb Raider or BioShock Infinite, etc.) can be played fluently in FullHD resolution and very high detail settings. However, very demanding games such as Crysis 3 or Battlefield 4 will require lower resolutions and/or details.
So, try to opt Maxwell version of this card because the Kepler version is 10x slower than this card.
Alienware's Command Centre
Alienware's Command Center, the company's proprietary control panel, helps personalize the gaming experience. The AlienFX option is the star of the show, tricking the Alienware 13 out with custom lighting profiles.
The Fusion feature lets you create custom power profiles for the laptop while Adrenaline assists in creating a set of conditions to run for each game. This is also where you can monitor your laptop's performance or access settings for the optional Graphics Amplifier.
AlienAutopsy (diagnostics and maintenance) and AlienRefresh (system restore) have been removed from the Command Center and now live with the other apps in Windows 8.1.
The Alienware 13 lasted 6 hours and 3 minutes on the Laptop Mag Battery Test
(continuous Web surfing over Wi-Fi at 100 nits of brightness).
That's a full 2hours less thanthe 8:03 ultraportable average, but this is still one
of the longer-lasting gaming laptops.
