It is a POWERFUL, FULL-SIZED desktop computer

I use it for gaming with the expectation that it will support new games for several years to come as the i9 processor, large SSD drive, and fast memory should be sufficient even as games advance. Very fast. Replaces an Alienware gaming laptop circa 2019. Noticeable improvement in performance.It is big and heavy. So, know what you are buying.

Great gaming PC

I’ve had it for a few weeks now and I’m impressed this is a pretty beefy system, worth it if you’re a gamer

This computer is everything you’d want in a gaming PC, and more!

I’m not going to lie, I’m very familiar with DELL and Alienware products being some of the best, but as a massive McLaren F1 fan and the fact that stuck with them through some ups and downs between 2020-2023 and even renewed during said period, made me like them even more, so I decided to take the plunge and get back into gaming as it’s been many many years since I have (back when I’d build my own, but heck that was a good ~20 years ago. and with it being pretty close to just spec’ing it out without fully knowing if this part will work with this part. etc, etc..) I decided to just purchase one pre-built that had options for upgrading RAM, changing the CPU and so on, plus I was able to purchase an extended warranty for 3 years, which if you were building your own, you wouldn’t have that piece of mind.Kudos to Dell for supporting my favorite F1 team, it’s what steered me towards you after purchasing cheaper Lenovo laptops that’d last me a few years, but with this being a desktop I don’t have to worry about the battery losing dead cells or whatever.Keep up the good work!

Little large but completely worth it

Large for the form factor advertisement, but an absolute unit in performance. From going from mobile laptop gaming/5+ year old towers. The Aurora is like a breath of fresh air, and is simple and well executed

Best I’ve owned

Like the title says, this is the best computer I’ve owned. Did end up upgrading the storage and here soon I’m going to upgrade the PSU, 500W works but I would like more for my setup

Beast

I like this PC set up the LEDs are colorfull and you can change the colors if wanted.the noise level under load isn’t loud at all good fan flow though the water resvoir. Not a bad price at all with the services given.A fast cpu i9 13900f. Paired with the RTX 4070 Nvidia gpu. Great functionality all together in this setup.fast delivery in the mail as well all together one of my best setups to date.

The most powerful AND the quietest gaming pc I have ever owned

I ordered this on a Friday and received it on Saturday around 2pm and it was in perfect, unopened shape. It was very easy to get set up and running. I did a few internet searches to learn how to disable/remove all the bloatware MS puts in Windows that I didn’t want (copilot, etc.) and then I was off to the races. I can not emphasize enough just how quiet this machine is! My last pc, a Corsair, was, I thought, a pretty quiet machine, but it would (seemingly randomly) turn on its fans once in a while and dispel the quiet – even when nothing appeared to be going on to cause it generate extra heat. This alienware r16, by contrast, is just plain always quiet. I haven’t put it through a truly heavy workload yet, but I’m throwing all sorts of games and apps at it, and it’s just so quiet. It starts up very quickly, and is just plain the nicest system I have ever owned. I guess, at least sometimes, you really do get what you pay for. This is a rock-solid machine. Very much recommended. Also, if you’re like me, and you’d been avoiding Windows 11 as long as possible, I can tell you it’s not too bad at all, once you tweak it to your liking. As I said at the top, it was pretty easy to get the bloatware out (the one thing they embed like a tick is Edge, but I’m working on that). Everything else that you don’t want is pretty easy to pare out, leaving behind a system that runs well and puts very little load on your resources, leaving most of this system’s impressive power and speed available to run the apps and games you actually care about.

No problems

I have gotten the most expensive one on there and if you have the money and able to spend get it! it works well have had it for 2 weeks rn and didn’t have a problem wit it however the drivers are not up to date for some performance games but thats doesn’t stop anything from playing and enjoying even during performance it give a below average temperature staying cold I overall love it with my alienware setup.PS: important thing to know they made a more common design for the r16 than the previous generations due to low airflow and wasted space due to tilted design even if if the last generatons look good its not good for any airflow and could have heat problems.

For the amount of money you spend you would think you wouldn’t have issues.

Games run great when they are working good, but I keep constantly have games freezing up for a few seconds and are also have really bad issues with audio desync…UPDATE: I got in touch with dell customer service and they were able to fix my issues by remote controlling my computer and fidgeting with things.

Glad for technical help

I got this new first PC I’ve had in 15 years. Really great so far. Haven’t had graphic intensive applications yet so the PC runs very quiet. Only downside I wish I had a larger Hard drive. 512 gb gets used up quickly with modern gaming. Really rough start tech help was excellent got me up to speed quickly.

Very good pc!

The media could not be loaded.

So the first thing I don’t like is that you can see the green it’s not to fashionable on the inside but I can tell you, it’s a good powerhouse! It’s pretty quiet it rarely ever gets louder only gets loud when u boot up a game that’s really big but it’s quick to kill itself down! I play gta5 on medium to high graphics for hours and it works and maintains the cooling. Excellent airflow. The only thing I don’t really like in it is the 16gb ram. There being 16gb ram isn’t bad, but if you want to catch up to the other specs (i7, GTX4060) then I’d upgrade to 32gb ram. (I’m going to do that) I play Fortnite on lower settings the frames tend to be unstable due to the higher graphics in Fortnite(on certain settings.) if you want my settings on my Fortnite to make it run a very stable 165FPS with being able to see people very well just add my Snapchat – ShesmyssticI’ll happily send them to you.I’d recommend this pc to anyone who’s looking to get into the PC world. I’ve looked everywhere else and the insides don’t match up to ram or the intel chips are to old for the ram or graphics card is to old.. all for 1500$ this is a very very good buy. (COMES WITH KEYBOARD AND MOUSE!)

Good pc

It’s a good PC runs great just be sure to either upgrade the fan or undervolt the CPU so it doesn’t overheat.the fan has trouble cooling the CPU it’ll reach 100c real quick and throttle. Other than that it’s great.

Wow

I like everything about this rig, but then again I haven’t purchased a new PC in about 6 years. So of course I’m thrilled. Match this with a Samsung 49” ultrawide monitor and the new experience is pretty amazing.

Sending back to get repaired 6 months after purchase

Can’t believe I have to send this into Dell to get repaired not even a year into ownership. I was told to stay away from Alienware, and I did not listen because “ooo, pretty lights!”. DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID!

Very Fast!! Great for gaming.

I was getting a lot of lag playing some new games and I decided my R5 PC I bought in 2017 had served me well. I went with the R16 and couldn’t be happier. So far, great support and easy access to user guides and special offers. Alienware is awesome!

My grandson is impressed

My 12 Yr old grandson is impressed. He plays online with his school friends and was totally amazed that PaPPap and Maw Maw got him such a great gaming PC
