Alienware just dropped a pair of new laptops under its Aurora brand. They are
relatively budget-friendly and look like an excellent alternative to the
pricier Area 51 line. These are the first Aurora laptops the company has
released in nearly two decades, as the brand has primarily been reserved for
desktops.

ThereΓÇÖs the Alienware 16 Aurora and the 16X Aurora. The base 16 laptop
starts at just $1,150, which is a good price for a dedicated gaming laptop.
The entry-level specs include an Intel 5 Core processor, the NVIDIA GeForce
RTX 3050 GPU and 8GB of RAM.

However, the laptop can be outfitted with up to the Intel Core 9 processor,
the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 GPU, 32GB of RAM and 2TB of internal storage. All
configurations are certified for Dolby Audio and feature the companyΓÇÖs
proprietary Cryo-Tech cooling technology. The 16-inch screen offers a 240Hz
refresh rate and a 2560 x 1600 resolution.

The Alienware 16X Aurora laptop line is a bit beefier, as these models all
include Intel Core Ultra processors. The max RAM shoots up to 64GB and the
max storage extends to 4TB. The GPU options, however, remain the same. The
same goes for the overall design. We donΓÇÖt have pricing on this line just
yet.

These new Aurora laptops join AlienwareΓÇÖs revived Area 51 line. Those
models are more powerful and more expensive, as they start at $3,200. They do
have a glass bottom that lets users see the cooling fans in action, so
thatΓÇÖs something.
