    A great PC! I don't do too many games but it runs games like FH5 with great ease. I also love that it's so quiet and doesn't heat up!

    I recently got this computer, and I have to say – I’m seriously impressed. From the moment I turned it on, I could feel the performance. It runs incredibly fast, handles multiple tasks with ease, and doesn’t slow down even when I’m gaming, editing videos, or running heavy software. The design is sleek and modern – it looks great on my desk and doesn't take up too much space. The build quality is also top-notch. You can tell this machine was made with care and attention to detail. Performance-wise, it’s a beast. Whether I’m playing the latest games on high settings, doing 3D rendering, or just browsing and working, everything runs super smoothly. It stays cool and quiet even under pressure, which is a big plus. I also appreciate how easy it was to set up. It was practically plug-and-play, and within minutes, I was up and running. The system came clean, without any bloatware, which is a big deal for me. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with this computer. It exceeded my expectations in every way. If you’re looking for something powerful, reliable, and worth every penny – this is the one. Highly recommended!

    This is my second pc. I’ve been a long time console player when the ps5 dropped I wanted to buy one but my friend told me for the price he can help me build a pc. He ended up giving me an old you mother board and processor towards my build. After a couple years I needed to look for a more updated graphics. Needless to say I did some research and ended up getting the Alienware. I’m not a competitive player so this of gives me the power to do everything. I also got a monitor addiction so I have 2 ASUS 27 inch and a Samsung odyssey g5 32 I think there’s still room for a fourth monitor. Overall all I can play all my games on high setting and watch videos on the side. I strongly recommend this pc. Not much rgb but if you don’t care about customization this is a good gaming pc

    Good System

    Bought this system to replace a vintage 2017 Dell XPS 8930 that still runs OK, but the hardware is dated. After a week I am very happy with it, after doubling the RAM to 32 GB and adding a secondary storage SSD. It's more capable than I need and will run the few games I like to play easily. It was easy to manage (turn off) all the case lighting and even customize the color of the power button. I also appreciated the lack of bloatware. Nothing but the Alienware software and Windows 11. That was a revelation. I intend to keep this PC for at least as long as the XPS. Will probably just upgrade the video card in a couple years just for fun. I am very happy with this purchase, especially buying it on a nice $400 off sale.

    I've been using the Alienware Aurora R16 for about a month now, primarily for gaming and some light content creation. The performance is excellent — the Intel i7-14700F paired with the RTX 4060Ti handles AAA games at high settings effortlessly. Load times are minimal thanks to the 1TB SSD, and the overall system responsiveness is very snappy.

    It’s my first time owning an Alienware operating system and I honestly have NO complaints. It’s very fast, reliable and stylish. Airflow is excellent and the quality exceeds my expectations in a CPU. If you are on the fence…get it! I highly recommend.

    I love this desktop. It's awesome for business work and awesome for gaming. Performance and quality are some of the best I've seen from Alien in the past five years. Note that I did add 64GB of DDR5 Crucial memory for about $150 after I ran it a while, but that's because I run virtual machines. Definitely recommend.

    Super fast yet quiet gaming PC for my 13-year old. My son loves his new computer, it's able to run his favorite games (Farming Simulator and BeamNG Drive) with ease - it's powerful, yet quiet.

    Loving this PC so far. I am using it uniquely for Steam games, and it has handled every one I've played with no sweat at all (at 1080p)... but I'm also not playing the AAA FPS title, so to be honest this PC is probably overkill for my needs. Nevertheless, it has been rock-solid stable, and TOTALLY silent while sitting under my desk. And it looks goooooood :-D

    Computer is great! Boots fast and runs smooth. Easy to setup and I've been able to play any game I've tried on it. If you're looking for a prebuilt gaming pc this is the one to get.

    Prety solid pc, i would recommend changing out the ram for 2 16g ddr5s or better other then that the box(tower) is clean, the 4060ti is a little mid of a gpu but for the price (especially for the discounted price) its solid. Alot of reviews say this will be a hard upgrade as the motherboard is odd or “weird” but anyone who has actually stripped a pc would agree almost all motherboards are a pain to change out (unless you have a massive case anway) the other concern is the i7 cpu, alot of these were erros from the facorty and have the wrong specs loaded to where the voltage is off and it degrades the chip over time. (Google it) there are steps you can take to minimize it tho, its just kinda a gamble as to what you get. All in all tho if tou just want a pre built you can open out of the box and play most games on max settings and not have to worry about its solid, the power supply is also miiiid for the price but it is what it is.
