Laptop overheated beyond repair, causing blue screen of death literally on the first month after purchase.

Alienware, considered the premium gaming computers from Dell, has introduced the Aurora 16 with various setups. I opted to go with the lower end model because I felt it will meet my needs just fine. I don’t need the highest end system, especially when price was a factor in my decision. 120Hz is just fine to the human eye, at least for me anyway. I can’t tell the difference between 120 and 240. Also, the GeForce RTX 5060 performed great while I tested out multiple graphics intensive games and I had no issue running them. Hopefully, it will last a few years and keep up with newer games down the road. For those in ‘the know’, it has been mentioned that the keyboard sits off to the left a bit due to adding the numeric keypad on the right. It took me a short time to get used to it and I actually prefer a numeric keypad over the traditional laptop layout since it is faster to input numbers. The battery life has been great so far when I am using it for general tasks, but I always keep it plugged in during gaming sessions since it helps the overall performance. I really do not have any negative points to mention and my family is happy the Aurora 16.

Started hanging on the first hour itself. Never buy it

The 16x Aurora is a more than capable workhorse for the average gamer. its well packaged, very cleanly and very green in mind. The laptop itself is very simple and sleek. I prefer it to much "louder" laptops that have all kind of unnecessary trim add-ons that make it look all "future-y" or whatever. Despite being a gaming laptop which tend to be more beefier, the weight doesn't feel too bad. obviously heavier decent amount of I/O ports/ 2 USB-A, 2 USB-C,HDMI and Ethernet. the headphone jack and 1 USB-A is on the left side, the rest are on the back. I'd have preferred USB C for the power cord, because i'm sick of barrel jacks, but that may just be a limitation because how much power you'd need compared to smaller laptops The display is really smooth, which not surprising because of the 240Hz. won't be able to use that as an excuse when you lose in a game haha. All the specs are more than enough for those getting into gaming or doing mid level games. 1TB SSD is amazing to have because games have gotten so big these days. with 32GB of RAM you'll have no slowdowns. nowadays i can't imagine trying anything with 16GB. While it is only a 5070, it does get the job done. Keyboard has a nice feel and keys are not too loud. The mouse pad is on the smaller side, but that's not really important because if you're gaming you'll be using a mouse. but it does work well if you're just futzing around on the computer. if you're not gaming and weren't planning on using a mouse, probably don't need this computer. its a bit overkill for the price, this is a powerful, feature packed computer that would be great for gaming or graphical work (which will be the primary use)

There is a lot of noise from the fan in high performance mode.

Good job ply cod 6 with no problem at all love it great
