    Great Gaming Video Card. I had to turn off many features in my video games before I got this PC. Now I have all the game graphics settings turned on.

    Disappointing Alien invasion

    During setup and file transfer, a BIOs download from Alienware caused my pin to disappear, and neither the geek Squad nor I could access the motherboard to fix it. I traded it for a Lenovo Legion. Disappointed in Dell.

    Great gaming PC but now crashing constantly

    I bought the Aurora R16 in December 2024 and used it practically flawlessly every day for a few months. After about 3 months my games started to crash with no explanation, and now almost 6 months later I will be 10 minutes into playing a game and the game will either crash or the computer will BSOD with a multitude of different errors. Everything is up to date and when I try to scan for faulty or corrupt files, the system BSOD.

    Got on sale for a tremendous value. Alienware systems are build well, ready to roll out of box, and beautiful. They typically are a tad overpriced, but you're paying for the name as well.

    Honestly the most terrible purchase I've ever made. I want to like this desktop, I really do... however it crashes more than a few times with every game I try to play. Aside from gaming? It works great! But if you intend to use it for what it is meant for, it is terrible.
