- Key Specs
- Processor Model: Intel 13th Generation Core i9 (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: 1000 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 4080 (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.)

Q: Is the ram on the computer Upgradable?
A: It is with a caveat. I own the R15 with the 4090 configuration and it came originally with 32gb of ddr5 4800 mhz ram. If you want to upgrade to 64gb you can, but if you don't get the RAM from Dell, regardless of the speed you get (say 5200 or 5600mhz) the system is set to keep it at 4800mhz. So if you're going to purchase this rig with the idea of upgrade, remember that little tidbit. I ended up purchasing 64gb of kingston fury ram, which I thought would be compatible at the 5600 mhz I purchase, but it still only runs at 4800.
A: There is a second slot. Easy install. I installed a 4 TB SSD.
Q: What the power supply wattage?
A: 1350 watts.
Q: Is the RAM in this computer 4x8 or 2x16?
A: 2x16
A: This desktop supports one of the following storage configurations: ● Up to two M.2 2230 or M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe solid-state drives ● Up to two M.2 2230 or M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe solid-state drives + one 3.5-inch hard drive. The SSD slot 1 of this desktop is the primary drive. One M.2 2230 solid-state drive (Interface Type- PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe, up to 64 Gbps) is supported up to 256 GB. One M.2 2280 solid-state drive (Interface Type- PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe, up to 64 Gbps) is supported up to 4 TB. One 3.5-inch hard drive (Interface Type-SATA AHCI 6 Gbps) is supported up to 2 TB. Two 2.5-inch hard drives (Interface Type-SATA AHCI 6 Gbps) is supported up to 2 TB. NOTE: 3.5-inch hard drive can be changed to two 2.5-inch hard drives by purchasing the conversion kit from Dell sales agent.
Q: How do you extend the direct Dell/Alienware in home warranty after purchase, such as a 3 or 4 year?
A: You may register your Alienware to Dell/ Alienware site with your PC unique service tag. Dell/ AW can correctly identify your PC and its configuration to assist you in your registration. Once registered you may extend or renew your warranty.
Q: Would I be able to upgrade to the nvidia rtx GeForce 4090?
A: I wouldn't as this version only has the smaller power supply and it is not a replaceable piece (is a Dell/Alienware proprietary PS).
