Alienware 18 Area-51

As someone who bought the ill fated 1st Gen Alienware Area 51 “upgradable” laptop, and is a current FW16 owner, I’m getting a Deja vu feeling right about now. I have to say though, my confidence in FW hasn’t been shattered yet. I’m really hoping the 26th announcement will be an official launch of th

Eh, depends who you buy from. Dell/Alienware? Yes. HP/Omen? Yes. Lenovo/Legion? Yes. Hence why I said OEMs are bad. But many prebuilts from iBuyPower, etc are standard ones. Some people are never going to build their own, and we have to steer them towards the right stuff. An Area 51 ain't it, and I

The 18” is actually priced pretty competitively relative to the market. Titan/Raider, Legion 9i, Strix/Scar G18 are all very expensive, and with the promotions Dell has the Area 51 is actually among the cheapest. For your third point, the 9955HX CPUs do perform a bit better, but the dual CCD really

I was looking at the 7i vs Area-51 18, but in the 5090 spec. I'm lucky enough to live near a Micro Center where I could play with them both in person, and went for the Alienware. The glossy OLED on the 7i was a non-starter for me. Looks gorgeous if all you do is use it in a dark room, but I need som

I am on my second 18 Area-51 laptop too, ordered direct from Dell. The first laptop had thermal throttling issues and P-Core 23 was the worst with temperatures fluctuating wildly. The laptop also crashed randomly whilst gaming, contacted Dell who at first told me this was normal and there was nothin

Get the alienware 18" area 51 with the 5090, best gaming laptop I've ever owned.

Pick your poison… IPS bleed or OLED burn in :) If you have the IPS version no need to upgrade. If you’re keen on getting the OLED just make sure you get the warranty and then extend it when it runs out for a peace of mind. Either way ips or OLED this laptop is a beast and you will be happy but with

That’s because it is the lowest end. The new Aurora is the baseline of Alienware laptops, lowest price point and least flashy, it was designed that way. It’s more so an “entry” level gaming laptop, still good performance but it’s not the Area-51 which is the new flashy rounded design with all the RB

I got the 16 Area 51 Certified Refurbished, as above, not a scratch on it. Works perfectly too! I got i9 processor, 32GB RAM 2TB RTX5080 and cant fault it at all, although I did get the extra 3 year warranty just to be sure. 3,024GBP all in, so great deal too! FYI, it doesn't come in an original Ali
