Alienware 16 Area-51 Gaming Laptop AA16250-16" WQXGA 240Hz Display, Intel Core Ultra 9-275HX, 32GB DDR5 RAM, 1TB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070Ti, Windows 11 Home, Onsite Service - Liquid Teal(Upgraded)

What can i say i9 and 5700i graphics, 240 Hz screen, very fast I love it, want to borrow it Ggggrrrrr. It is replacing my 5 year old MSI i7 4080 which was a realy good gaming laptop, hence why it took me 5 years to replace but it, it was begining to strugle with graphics. The power supply is noticably small in size and does not get that hot compared to the MSI PU. The laptop cooling is very good, but if you run a heavy graphic game expect it to behave like a fan heater. I would not recomend having it on your lap while running Baldurs gate 3 for example. On a desk or other such the heat does not seem to bother the laptop in the slightest. Like the various keyboard and other visuals. Downsides, its heavy, it feels sturdy, but I would not want to drop it, it could badly injure your wallet. It will not fit in a normal 16" laptop bag due to the rear cooling, you need an18. The price, even though its worth it. I would advise getting 32g RAM rather than the basic 16. I did not increase the SSD from 1g on cost grounds but its very easy to change or add to, pleanty of SSD sockets. The online manual provides a complete guide to adding or updating, but probably best do it after the waranty expires. Use in a public place makes me nervous, it looks expensive/classy AKA Stealable.

Alienware seems to really gotten their act together recently. This laptop is beautiful, has a great high-quality feel to all the materials including the keyboard, and yet it’s actually a pretty good value given the performance specs. The only thing I can possibly complain about is the screen isn’t the highest quality. It’s got great frame rate, and nice color, but the contrast isn’t great, and the uniformity of blacks is pretty poor. I really wish Alienware would offer an OLED screen on what is supposed to be their flagship laptop, but that’s only a minor complaint. I’d certainly be happy to pay more to get a better screen, but at this price point the screen quality is acceptable. The thermals are much improved over the prior generation. There’s only so much they can do because they insist on using Intel processors, but they’ve done a nice job with the cooling on this one. Unless you’re playing a game you won’t even notice the fan, and when you are it’s not nearly as loud as the prior generation, and the laptop itself doesn’t get as hot. Lastly, the performance: absolutely amazing for a laptop. Especially at this price. I could run Forza 5 at the highest settings and hit 240 frames a second. Just fantastic performance for something you can take with you.

I bought the Area 51 16 inch gaming laptop for $5,000 and it works very well. I am disappointed that it only has a 12 GB VRAM and a RTX 5070 TI but it is able to run all games at ultra settings at 1600p at 200 FPS. I tried it on a 4k monitor and I get around 30 - 40 FPS. If you are looking for a laptop that can run 4k at ultra settings go with a Area 51 18 inch with RTX 5080. It has 16 GB of VRAM. Overall I am impressed with the performance of this laptop. It doesn't get too hot while gaming and it is a good value for the money.

Bought for CAD/CFD and gaming on the side. Runs MOBA games at 300+ fps with max graphics settings. Proper workhorse. Ordered new received new. Not DOA (a minority of other buyers claiming DOA). Performed windows 11 home debloat and would recommend other buyers do the same. Looking for an Alienware? buy while it is still this affordable.

Puissance et versatilité. Point faible: son poids. Bon achat.
