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 :-)

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

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

Why did Alienware discontinue the x end m line?

Yeah they killed the X line with no replacement, but I always view the Area 51 is just a redesigned m18/16, changing the name only because the gtx 10 and rtx 20 area51m couple years ago were so popular and highly regarded. Currently the only real Alienware now are the area 51 18/16. The Aurora 16/x

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.

Officially hooked

So I have an Aurora 16 laptop as well and when it’s not connected to my golf sim I’ll connect it on my desk, I got tired of having to plug and unplug the HDMI, two USB’s, then arrange everything. Plus I’ve always loved Alienware so I figured why not get a desktop as well. The performance, looks, and

Alienware laptop 2025 range

I don't know what possibly could Dell's marketing team be smoking. They made the dumbest ever decision to kill off XPS, Latitude and other decades old well established sub branding. And most importantly, they killed, or better say merged Dell G15/G16 gaming laptop line with Alienware. The Aurora 16/

In-Depth Review of Area 51 16” and Aurora 16X + Why Nvidia Makes It Worse

Honestly I have the Aurora 16x with the 5070 and it's fine. It plays games fine; it's excellent at video editing. It's rather have something overbooked than something flimsy; the Aurora feels like a tank. Honestly, my only complaint is that I wish there was a legitimate way to cover the Alienware lo

In-Depth Review of Area 51 16” and Aurora 16X + Why Nvidia Makes It Worse

I have the Aurora 16X; the logo doesn't light up on that. It's just iridescent. I picked that over the Alienware Area 51 laptop because the Area 51 has a cooling shelf on the back that can't hide that it's a gaming laptop. Putting stickers on a laptop isn't acceptable to me professionally, but if I
