Highlights
- Key Specs
- Processor Model: Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 2 (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
- Storage Type: SSD
- Total Storage Capacity: 2000 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 32 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
- Graphics Type: Dedicated (Dedicated graphics uses a separate graphics card for processing video images. Because it does not use memory from the system's RAM, there is no extra burden on the CPU and graphics are processed more efficiently. Integrated graphics shares system RAM to process video images.)
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 (Often referred to as a "graphics processing unit" (GPU), this device is responsible for displaying image content and decoding/encoding video content in programs and games.)

Awesome pre-built PC xD
Just got this beast for myself.. the Alienware Area-51 with the new Ultra 9 and RTX 5080. Runs insanely smooth, super fast even on heavy games. Definitely worth it if you want power and style in one setup. Totally worth it!

Good build, not sold on the price
Smooth running system, still plenty of room to upgrade parts. Runs all my current games beautifully. Only down side is the price. Found some deals on the dell website for a same model with a 5090 graphics card for 300 cheaper after I bought this one.

Pricey but well worth it!
System works great along with the Alienware command center software included. Though pricey I believe it to be an amazing pre built gaming pc and runs every game at max settings like a dream.
