16X Aurora

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

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

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

The machine you have is irrelevant. SupportAssist is a steaming pile of horse manure and absolutely shouldn't be included on any Alienware machines.

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).

It is great option actually due to its battery’s life, It actually can stay up to 10 hours which is one of the best but one huge flaw of this one is screen, screen is just really bad and ghosting, some people might care some people might not but I personally do, so It’s up to you, you could’ve get 1

If you run windows the 16x is actually pretty fantastic. I had to for a little bit and if you leave it to do its thing and dont mess with Alienware Controls or anything with just a plain windows install it just works well. Overall a great laptop Ive really loved owning from the perspective of build

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

Do you think the fan noise on this laptop is loud? And have they improved how fast the Alienware Control software runs? I watched Jarrod's review of the 16X Aurora and he mentioned that the software runs a lot slower compared to other brands' built-in apps.
