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

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

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

Same for me. Alienware Aurora 16X AC16251 received as gift on December 2025. Suddenly the Aurora effect stopped working properly, no more transitions but only jumps from color to color. After following the instructions from Dell support (simply reinstalling AWCC and after a complete reinstall of the

The machine you have is irrelevant. SupportAssist is a steaming pile of horse manure and absolutely shouldn't be included on any Alienware machines. It causes more problems than it solves, consumes resources unnecessarily, collects system telemetry to send back to Dell, and acts as a remote access e

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).
