16X Aurora

Direct support is their workstations/dev systems, but many devices still end up on lvfs like alienware,etc. and their lines share a lot of minor components so generally you wont see as many weird wifi situations for instance. Dell even in certain markets sells Ubuntu certified alienware machines lik

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

I daily drive an Aurora 16 and I have no issues with the display. The motherboard failed on warranty but it was replaced. Apart from this, I really like it. It's my first Alienware/Dell. Ask if you have any more questions.

WARNING. To anyone with the same issue, do not allow tech support to replace your hardware. I have successfully recreated the issue on another Aurora 16x by performing a system recovery. All evidence points towards a BIOS/EC malfunction. The important clues I have found so far are as follows: The ef

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

To be honest, yes, the Alienware 16x Aurora does get hot. When I first opened it and started doing basic tasks, it was running at around 80 degrees Celsius while practically doing nothing, and while playing AAA games it reached 100-105 degrees (with Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and The Last of Us Part II).

Oh wow, maybe that’s why my Alienware Aurora 16x has been crashing. I bought it new and I was surprised to see it crash often.
