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

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

After months of waiting, got my Area 51 Alienware 16.
Congrats! I got the aurora 16x a couple of weeks ago and bought the Alienware 16inch Backpack - AW5625P and A620m mouse. They're great, the backpack is really nice and fits my laptop, mouse, keyboard and more easily, has a lot of space and it's comfy and well padded, time will tell how it holds up b

Laptop motherboards
I currently have two laptops: an Alienware Aurora 16x with a Core Ultra 9 275HX, 32GB RAM, and an RTX 5070 for gaming that I bought last month; and a 2 1/2 year old XPS 15 with a Core i9 13900h, 32 GB RAM, and an RTX 4060 for work. They're both excellent and I love them. The previous laptop I had bo
