Alienware16 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

Works as expected, looks slick, and runs cool, going from a X15R2 to this is a night and day difference, the 5080 is leagues ahead of the 3070ti and having the ability to change ram and the option to have 3 ssds is so nice. The cpu in this is blazing fast as well, it's a little overpriced at 3k plus but I won't have buyers remose over this purchase.

Great laptop runs Assassin's creed shadows with no problem. FYI the alien head doesn't glow on this model.

I thought that I might be here writing this review given my past experience with Dell computers, I received this laptop 9/4/2025, today is 9/17/2025 and it has died. I only played 2 games on it Crusader Kings 3 typically on my lap while watching sports, and iRacing primarily which it performed average for at best. Today when I went to turn the laptop on it sent me directly to a diagnose screen during boot up where it gave me options to try to diagnose the issue or power off the computer, where I chose to power it off. I ended up having to this twice. I finally made it to my desktop screen where I found it had an optional firmware update that I figured could be the issue so i let it update and now the computer is bricked. Will not respond to any key inputs, I cannot even hard power down. I sent a ticket into Dell Support to have a mail in repair started, but as stated in my first sentence, this is Dell folks, poor quality computers these days, between the drivers and the firmware they are nothing but problems. I am very disappointed in the value of this computer.

This is a very satisfying pc laptop, i never owned one before & this is meeting alot of expectations

So far so good. I bought this computer for my son who just started his first year of college. This computer has all the specs & features that they were required to have for his major. I hope it doesn't disappoints.Arrived on time. Graphics are bold!

Getting this laptop was a good idea, not only does it run smoothly. However, it can handle the type of games that I play. The only thing to be aware of is that it can get hot, so I do recommend getting something to elevate it from not overheating, like a laptop stand. Overall, it works well, and it has a nice weight. The screen has a good size and offers good quality if you watch videos or play a game with high resolution. I do recommend it to others.

The laptop is fine, certainly fast in booting and operation, and plays high demanding graphics games great, BUT, the listing reads “2TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen5 SSD”, and as it turns out, the SSD is a less valuable and less performative Gen4 so that part sucked. Amazon made it somewhat right with a slight refund though… In order to get a certain functionality out of the system, per Dell, I had to reset/reload from the factory image to a clean run of the operating system, reload all the drivers and such, and then upgraded “Windows 11 Home” to “Pro” by tossing Microsoft $100… All in all, it was a good value for what I paid, but I would have preferred a smoother takeoff…

I recently purchase this laptop, it was alway something I wanted but couldn't purchase it. Thanks to the offered package deal Amazon afford me this dream became a reality! Hats off to amazon and the online chat team that made this happen, thanks very much for meeting your customers at the point of their need. Boy this laptop didn't disappoint, I use it for work purposes and its a head turner for sure... the sheer speed of opening documents, working on multiple screens is mind blowing. Functionality is unmatched from all other laptops I have used, this laptop is running full system updates whilst working on powerpoint, word documents and have games running on the back ground. its durable engineering is amazing and the slimmer design on the 2025 Area-51 model make it easier for transporting. I recommend the Alienware 18" Backpack
