Alienware is launching a new line of gaming laptops today with Nvidia’s newest Pascal-based graphics chips. And the 17-inch model has an option to use Tobii’s eye-tracking camera, which allows you to control a game using your eye gazes. You can even wake up the laptop by staring at it.

All told, Alienware will launch three laptops: a 17-inch, 15-inch, and 13-inch.
