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

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.

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

Alienware 16X Aurora review: Balancing premium build with a midrange GPU
I toyed with the idea of picking one of these up, the design is nice for sure. I have an M18, and an old 15 inch G5 2060m I use for work. On my last trip, whilst working remotely, I ended up carrying my M18 and my work laptop and realized how bad of an idea that was, so decided to pick up something

Alienware Aurora 16 RTX 5060
That's true HX processors are going to add a lot more heat and drain battery faster. Ever compare a Aurora 16x to this Aurora 16, the HX equipped 16x is not only more expensive, it's heavier and thicker. Understand, Alienware created the Aurora 16 to find a sweet spot between "can run modern games"
