Customer Ratings & Reviews

  • 6 GEFORCE NVIDIA RTX
  • The Alienware Aurora is engineered for exceptional performance with a streamlined, minimal design.
  • "Marathon Gaming Unlocked" is the text on the image.
  • GEFORCE RTX GAME CHANGING GRAPHICS Step into the future of gaming and creation with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series, powered by Blackwell architecture.
  • INTENTIONAL THERMAL STRATEGY: Our design prioritizes airflow efficiency and improved acoustics by introducing larger passageways and optimized internal cable management.
  • Optimized Airflow Strategy: The side hexagonal array, top surface exhaust, and the front stadium intake all provide significantly larger pathways for ambient air to enter and heat to be exhausted.
  • The 240mm heat exchanger is available on the CPU liquid cooling system, which enhances thermal resistance, ensuring that temperatures remain consistently low during extended gaming sessions.
  • The image features a close-up view of a fan, which is part of a heat exchanger. The fan is designed to be more efficient and produce less noise, making it a more effective and quieter cooling solution. The fan is described as being smoother in angle and shape, which likely contributes to its improved performance.
  • The Alienware Aurora includes the Intel R Z890 chipset with three PCIe slots.
  • HEXAGONAL SIDE VENTS: An array of hexagonally shaped vents enables passive air intake supporting graphics performance and quieter acoustics.
  • CLEANER CABLE MANAGEMENT Seamless internal cable management reduces obstruction of airflow and keeps thermals efficiently managed.
  • Front I/O Flexibility: High performance front ports enable great connectivity and two of the USB ports include PowerShare technology which lets you easily power your favorite external devices even while the system is shut down.
  • The latest version of Alienware Command Center software offers gamers control over AlienFX lighting, performance mode, and custom gaming profiles.

    Everything works as you would expect a machine from Alienware to work. So far everything has ran as smoothly as i hoped it would. The price is up there quite a bit, but considering the current market pricing on ram and gpu, it's not the worst pricing. I would likely do it again if i had to.

    I like the quality that Alienware provides & the memory avaliable to play my games. My last computer couldn't keep up with my needs & I couldn't use many games. I'm excited about all the diffent applications to use with this computer. The cooling system is cool so it doesn't overheat. I need more time to use all of this & make a better review.

    What can I say, It's AlienWare. Awesome at what it does. Not to fond of Windows 11 on it but, meh. Everything works great. Needs better directions on the Alien Control Center. But figured it out in the end.

    Solid platform for running GPU-intensive applications for AI or gaming. Straightforward set-up and quick to boot up/reboot. Have had for about a month and has worked like a dream.

    Not bad. Price match from microcenter is a must. But often microcenter has better deals.

    Alienware is not alienware, it is dell and it is junk. Bought one and the motherboard bricked on day one. Exchanged it and the second one had all sorts of problems. After two hours of infuriating “support” from Dell, they told me number two needed a new motherboard. Returned it and got a custom system from a local builder that is rock solid. Never again. Don’t buy Alienware!!

    If you can get this at the right price it is a beast. Unfortunately at the $3,150 it is very overpriced.
