Alienware is the out-of-this-world system integrator that produces, monitors, keyboards, gaming PCs and well, a whole lot more. While we've been super positive on their QD-OLED gaming monitors how is the rest of their lineup? Their Gaming Prebuilt, Aurora R15, was maligned by the DIY community, but maybe their fully redesigned Aurora R16? With an Intel Core i7-13700F CPU an NVIDIA RTX 4070, it just might be a good setup. Only one way to find out.

I bought an R9 a couple years ago, was my first PC Gaming, i regret about that, was aweful, issues with CPU and GPU temperatures, reached above 85 celcius. When I tried to upgrade the GPU, guess what!, there were no GPU that fit inside the case!, that frustrated me a lot believe me, I opted to build by own PC and sell that Alienware garbage by parts. Never trust Alienware PCs are really bad. The design is not made for future proof. Please save your money and rather opt for build by your own.

An Alienware PC was my dream when I was a kid. Finally got an Aurora R14 a couple years ago with all the best components. Within a month it just quit, it was stuck on the Alienware booting screen. Hours on the phone with support and no luck. Had 2 techs out within 2-3 months, the 1st tech took hours taking everything apart and replacing what he did and was unable to fix anything. A 2nd different tech came out with more parts, replaced them and noticed the 1st tech broke the computers face plate, which I was unaware of, and of course ordered a new one and some more parts and needed to come out again at a later time. The 2nd tech came out again, replaced more and the computer was still unable to get off the boot screen. The motherboard, RAM, GPU, CPU, everything was replaced multiple times with no avail. Even the tech was stumped. The very expensive computer was returned, I ordered one through NZXT with all the newest parts. Got it and had no issues. Eventually the 3090 went out and I contacted the company. I sent the computer back, it the graphics card replaced and couldn't be happier. Long story short I returned all the Alienware accessories I bought Including the computer.

Build redux specifically wanted to sponsor this video. They knew exactly how to use this golden opportunity Edit*: I see a lot of people say build redux is also shit. No clue tbh, I'm not from N.A. And as far as I'm aware that's the only place they are active. Dell is active everywhere, and from the moment I came face to face with my first Alienware dell to repair I hated them.

I've been happy with my R15 that somehow contains a 4090. I got it during a sale and also as a refurbishment so I feel like the price was actually very fair. Even if the airflow isn't the best, the PC preforms quite well comparatively on 3dmark to other setups and it's a prebuilt with warranty. I find that hard to beat as someone who works a lot and doesn't have the time to tinker with stuff as much. I wanted to plug it in, play some games in 4k, and it does that quite well. I do miss the old days of wild automotive grade paint on the alienware desktops.

@@Jehty21 that's the point. Why replace the *computer* when you can replace the parts. Fixed IO is *terrible* since it means a non standard mobo layout, which means it's literally an ewaste of a board (notice how it goes aaaaall the way to the front) meaning you can't even repurpose it with another case. Moreover, you can't do the inverse and slot new parts into that case because of the fact that the mountings and clearances are non standard. And sure, you can go ahead and say that prebuilts are not for those who want to build/iterate on their computer. And that's true and as good an argument as any. The point with this, what of the end of life of this machine? Will you just chuck it into the dump? Cause, like I said, if it ever breaks down you can't replace/service it yourself or even give it to your tech savvy family member or pc repair shop or e-swap place. And the fact is that this is just an internal design Dell has had for *years* and they're too stubborn or too beholden to their margins to invest in modernising their cases (yes I know tooling is expensive, but so is RMAing an entire computer and Dell is a big guy) The short of it is that this design "choice" is the pc equivalent of disposable plates. Yes, you can use them and they are convenient in specific use cases. But once they're done they're done and good luck trying to reuse it in the future.

9:13 It is illegal in the EU. When I go to the Dutch DELL website for example it is not there and they just show you the price including TAX, as this is also required in the EU. Here in The Netherlands they are even working on making it so that online retailers are required to show the price from 2 weeks ago and maybe even changes in between now and 2 weeks ago. This is because it is illegal to change the price within 2 weeks before putting it on sale, like for example seeing something listed as NOW FOR ONLY 79,99 instead of 99,99, while it was always 79,99. With this they want to make it more transparent to consumers what the sale actually is.

Curious to know your perspective on the top of the line gaming laptop Dell made just around the time they bought Alienware - the M1730. The max performance version cost me AUD$5000 in 2008, loved using it for almost 10 years until the GPU died.

​@JohnnyInJapan Steve had a good point. Mobos die more often than most other components. Hence why you can buy old cpus for cheap but the boards go up or stay the same in price. If the board dies, you won't be able to go out and buy just any z690 or z790. Ull have to see if you can manage to find that exact board. And if you can't or because it's so difficult to find the price will make it hard to justify then into the trash it goes. All so you don't have to run a cable from the mobo to the case.

@@foxs49er Not sure that's the front IO's fault. Dell's mobos are already completely proprietary (correct me if I'm wrong, but they don't even use standard power delivery - it's all 12V, but it's not the incoming 12VO standard, right?). So if the board died, you wouldn't be able to swap something new in anyway without also swapping out at least the PSU.

I have owned a number of Alienware PCs. Aurora 7500, Aurora R3, Aurora R11, and M17x R4. Used Dell UltraSharp 24-inch monitors, and the Alienware 2521HF monitor. I only have purchased the everything extended (5 year) warranty. My Aurora R3 had a number of warranty calls - 1 stick of RAM, 1 SSD, 1 PSU, and 3 video cards (GTX 770). Out of warranty had a video signal loss issue - solved that with a GTX 1060 which used less wattage than the 770. My Aurora R11 (current rig) was a software call. Out of the box, the Alienware software for updates did not work. Tech said it was a common issue - had to manually install a new version. Dell UltraSharps and the 2521HF awesome monitors for image quality. Though my UltraSharp for my Aurora 7500 did have an odd tilt to the right if pointed out. As for peripherals I have avoided them. They are overall disappointing. Their basic keyboard had some key press issues, and their branded higher end mouse died early. On the other hand their old hard surface with rubber bottom mouse pads were good (came with the computers).

I usually build my own PC but about 1.5-2 years ago, I decided to buy a top of the line Alienware PC (3090/5950x) for work. It was on sale and it was actually cheaper than if I had bought the parts separately. Believe it or not, I was also able to upgrade the pc by quite a bit too (added rams + 4tb nvme with a PCI e expansion card) People complain about the price/value a lot but if you get them on sale, their price are very decent. The PC is a beast and I never had any problems with it. I actually got less problems with it than having to deal with different pc parts+ diagnostics when something does not work. Customer service was pretty good too.

I am literally on the floor taking apart a Dell Alienware ALX Area 51 desktop mammoth of a PC- to bring it back to life! The irony 😅 also got my screwdriver and mystery sweater!!! I never understood why they made these desktops the weight of a small elephant

Well, usually that at least means it got a decent PSU. Also things like drive slots and zero tooling, shrouds and fans will add to the weight. Glass panels won't help either. But uh, yes, buy a mini-ITX with GPU option and you can build a PC with a lot less weight. What are you going to do, add SATA drives to it?

I've had problems with USB devices and ports just breaking when they're on the side of a laptop. I don't see that being as much of a problem when the IO comes out the back, kudos on alienware for having a really good solution to that super specific problem I have, gives me a reason to consider them in the future.

For what's meant to be a gaming laptop, it's actually a really good solution. You just don't want to have anything on the sides. Ergonomics while gaming are more important than the ease of access.

It's interesting that Linus' response to the I/O being on the mobo is "cool". While Steve from GN didnt seem to like it and pointed out that this makes the board proprietary and unable to or difficult to replace with another mobo if the mobo dies after warranty period. Mobos do die more often than most other components. Something Linus has pointed out in the past when talking about buying old CPUs is that the mobos up in price because they die while CPUs live effectively forever.

Steve is right, but also, it’s an Alienware so in all likelihood it’s e-waste the second anything on it fails at all unfortunately.

I have an R3 15 in laptop that works great. The materials feel great, the screen is awesome. I use it for recording, playing music live and gaming with the boiz on the weekend🤘🏼 Also, I feel like the prices may have been a bit off? From my experience they are almost always on sale 🤔

i have an alienware R8 that my uncle bought for me in 2019.. i5 9400 @ 3.9ghz liquid cooled , 16gb ram @2800Mhz, m.2 512gb ssd, 2070 graphics card.the only complaint i do have is with the proprietary software, the alienware command center software.. but hardware wise i have no issues. it plays every game i have tried at max settings and at 60fps or greater while it has its quirks from time to time, its been really reliable and is a considerable upgrade from my phenom II 1090t, 8 gb ram, 56ti graphics card.. Ohh i still have that PC too but its a backup/wifes pc now

I actually went for all alienware setup this year, because it was a very reasonable option. 34 oled 165hz monitor + 17inch laptop with i9 12th gen, 3080Ti, 32GB, 480hz 1080p panel + mechanical keyboard, high end mouse and decent headset cost me all about 2750$ (with premium d2d warranty).

Remember buying a Vertagear chair back in late 2015/eary 2016 due to being an attractive black & white scheme and theor logo not being cheap looking as well as fitting for the main game i streamed on twitch at the time; Vainglory. Still have that chair to this, day, just in horrible condition with a cover on it now lol.

It'd be interesting to hear yall's opinions on the alienware software that comes preinstalled to the systems and maybe your interactions with the peripheral software. You dont really get to test the software before you buy the device and i have seen a lot of very badly designed mouse configurators. Similiarly how bloatly/intrusive feeling the preinstalled software is.
