16X Aurora

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 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

Today is Nov 25, 2025. After a firmware upgrade from dnf update last evening, my bluetooth support died. I have an Alienware 16X Aurora AC16251. After much frustration in trying to determine why systemd-udevd was extremely unhappy and blueman-manager had no idea what I wanted, eventually googling to

I bought an Alienware Aurora 16x in November which immediately BSODed out of the box, same error as you. I went through the whole support process, followed all their instructions. Like you, the diagnostic tool picked up no issues, but even after reinstalling the OS, the BIOS, and all drivers, the is

My aurora 16x is having charging issues again after being in for service almost 3 months.(Motherboard on back order, but yet they keep selling new ones...) Just got off the phone with support. Welcome to the club. Honestly id say just buy another laptop at this point. After buying a legion just to h
