New Alienware 16 Area-51 arrived
Very excited about it. Ordered an Aurora 16X first but it did not give me that "Alienware-Feeling" i like so much. So i returned it and ordered this beast with an RTX 5070 Ti. Cant wait to set it up. Now i really have an Alieninvasion on my desk :-)

Laptop for EU5?
would a 700 euros laptop be able to run EU5 Lol. If you're serious about upgrading your laptop for a setup that will last you for the next decade, aim for 2.000€ and get something like an MSI Crosshair 17, an ASUS Rog Strix Scar 17, an Alienware 16X Aurora or similar. Basically nothing short of 32GB

Is it just me or does the new Aurora look subpar?
Yes „one size does not fit all“ is well put. And Alienware as a brand does not fit all and should not try to fit all. It is a premium gaming brand and users expect top performance and build quality. I had the Aurora 16X in my hand because i wanted to check it our for myself. And it might be ok for a

140 Watt Anker USB-C Charger Considered A "Slow Charger" On My Precision 5570?
It is TRULY obnoxious. Even more obnoxious: I have 2 Dell laptops, an XPS 15 9530 for work and an Alienware Aurora 16x for gaming. I bought a third-party barrell charger for the Aleinware that's rated at the same 280 W as the OEM charger, but because it's not a Dell OEM charger it limits power deliv

New here Alienware A51 Just received!!!!
Careful who you tell about your purchase. Some people Shame you bc you wanted to own something from Alienware. Went to a GameStop and just casually mentioned I had an AW Aurora 16. The guy started to go off a tangent. I just said that that’s how I got a 3080 when it came out (they were going for cra

Dell Alienware Support: A $5,000 Frustration
I ended up buying another Alienware because I missed the initial box opening experience. I had much more expensive laptop back in 2017, (Alienware 17 R4) it was around $2500 dollars. But seeing your post brings back the ptsd .My mind decided to hide issues about the key caps, laptop randomly freezin

Alienware/Ableton - basic functionality issues
One thing to keep in mind: at the end of the day this is a laptop with 5 year old tech. Even if everything is running perfectly, this laptop will be significantly slower in every way than the cheapest new Alienware laptop you can get - the $899 base model of the Aurora 16, which has a faster process

What laptop do you guys use to run wuwa?
If your budget is about $1500 you can probably manage a Legion 5/5i with a 5060M and 32GB of RAM with at least the 1600p 165Hz screen. That'd be my default suggestion to you and likely your best choice. Legion 5 will have better battery life with the Ryzen 7 260 or 350, but the Legion 5i will be bet

Is it just me or does the new Aurora look subpar?
The Aurora 16x is the very first gaming laptop I can pull out at work and not feel ashamed to have people see me using it. I wish there were a way to cover up the Alienware logo, but other than that it fits in perfectly in an office, which is extremely valuable to those of us who work in offices.

I bought my girlfriend a good gaming laptop but it feels like i messed up.
Hello, I'm very sorry, but why would you think you "damaged" it if you're trying fornite? That game is horrible visually, if the Resident ran great and looked great. So the clear problem is the game, it has 2 different modes if you want the RTX and such you have to use the DX12 mode, but it will con
