The most OP PC you can have
The Alienware Aurora R16 is a powerhouse for gaming and multitasking. With its Intel Core i9 processor, 32GB DDR5 RAM, and NVIDIA RTX 4070, it handles demanding games and tasks effortlessly. The dual storage (1TB SSD + 1TB HDD) is perfect for speed and space, and the sleek, compact design fits nicely in any setup. It stays cool and quiet even during intense gaming, and the RGB lighting adds a nice touch. While it’s pricey, the performance and premium support make it worth it for serious gamers and creators.

Constant issues with bluetooth
I constantly having issues with the bluetooth connection, and my controller keeps getting disconnected. This persists after I reinstalled and updated the bluetooth driver. Technically I can plug in a USB-C into my controller, but what a disappointment from a supposed-to-be premium product. I am returning it.Also, Windows is a nightmare. My wifi was off after a driver update, and suddenly I cannot log in to the system, since I haven’t set up a “local account”, and to log into the Microsoft account, I need wifi. But I need to log in first to configure the wifi… This is not Alienware’s fault, but a big no no and turn down for a decade-long Mac user.Otherwise, nothing to complain about, as it is indeed a powerful and beautiful gaming PC.

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.

First impressions are good
I’m not a gamer and I solely purchased this to run 3D cad programs and render 3D graphics. That being said this does exactly what I need it to do. Setup was easy and it functions just as it should.

This computer is fantastic and fast

Only had a few days so far but so far I love it. Extremely quiet, you can see the Nvidia RTX graphics card logo through the glass on the left side, small enough to fit into most desk lower shelf compartments for towers. Fast performance, Nvidia RTX 4060 graphics card handles all of my high graphics-intensive games phenomenally and the graphics quality is superb. Great computer for gaming or office.
