I bought this Alienware after searching various places like microcenter for a high end pc that would be future proof and would allow me to upgrade if needed the Alienware aurora is quite simply an amazing gaming pc. As someone who has had many various gaming laptops and some gaming pcs throughout the years it really was to me an exceptional find this Alienware r15 desktop has been an amazing and capable gaming desktop that can play any pc games you can desire the processor is a 13 th gen i7 processor and 4080 RTX video card with 16gb of ram it’s more than capable of playing the latest games for example I am playing Dragons Dogma 2 on the Alienware r15 and it’s running the game beyond 30-50 fps could be possibly higher but I really appreciate how smooth and responsive the frames are. This is the first gaming desktop I have bought in a long time that I can say I feel truly satisfied as a gaming enthusiast please be aware however the Alienware comes originally with 16gb of Memory but you can upgrade the R15 to 32gb or 64gb of ram if desired .Also the desktop is very modular meaning that it’s very upgradable for most of the parts in the pc. I was able to upgrade the memory to 32gb but I would like to upgrade it to 64gb in the future alongside the gpu as well to 23gb of ram. The Alienware also is easy to access and doesn’t take a long time to upgrade parts. Please note the ddr type is ddr5 for memory. Overall this pc has exceeded what I wanted from a pc from its liquid cooled features to the all around performance and ease of use you will not be disappointed if you looking for raw performance and future proofed feature you could not go wrong with the Alienware R15.

Got this PC when it was on sale and even an open box buy and for $2200 its a great deal. Have been playing a lot of Diablo 4 in ultrawide at 240 fps in ultra settings and this PC has zero issues and remains totally silent. Only complaints might be for this price the ram could look nicer other than the plain green sticks and the PC itself is huge.

Anyone debating to get this, absolutely should. I've had this for a month now, and was debating from the start whether or not I'd return it as I wasn't sure a pre built or specifically Alienware was what was best. The aesthetic is beautiful, the pc runs almost silent, it stays very cool and runs all games at max settings at a stable 180+fps. Drop the settings to very high or high and easily get 200-240fps while still having incredible graphics.

Customers are positive about the Aurora R15's performance and its effective liquid cooling system, which contributes to its quiet operation.

Several users also reported inconsistencies between advertised RAM specifications and the actual product.
