Dell is reviving the previously muted “Area 51” line with its Alienware gaming brand. It boasts an extravagant design combined with “alien” branding.
When the brand is reviving, then in a big way. Area 51 will welcome a whole range of products within notebooks and desktops. We will start with laptops that will bear the designation Alienware 18 Area-51 or 16 Area-51 depending on the diagonal. The installed processors will be the new Intel Arrow Lake-HX series, namely the highest models Ultra 9 275HX and Ultra 7 255HX. These processors will of course be complemented by the latest chips from NVIDIA.
The notebooks will support 2x SODIMM RAM, PCIe Gen5 and Gen4 through 3 M2 slots for SSD. The display will offer a 240 Hz refresh rate, QHD+, 100% DCI-P3 and 500 nits of brightness, along with G-Sync support. As in the past, it will be absolutely high-end devices, the price of which ranges from $2,000 to $3,200. The laptops will arrive at the end of the first quarter.
In addition, Area-51 is also coming to desktops. They will offer the same futuristic design, but the ventilation “shaft” will be moved to the side of the case. Here too we can expect the best components, only in this case it will be full-fledged desktop versions. So customers can expect Intel Core Ultra 9 285K or its basic version and Core Ultra 7 265K and non-K. They will again be supplemented by NVIDIA graphics cards.
The computer will offer 64, 32 or 16 GB of RAM, up to 8 TB of storage and water cooling with a 240 or 360 mm solution and an 850 W (Gold) or 1500 W (Platinum) source. The Verge magazine then mentions that this time Dell replaced its own resources and motherboards with third-party manufacturers, which will make it easier to upgrade your computer over time.
In addition, Dell also presented a number of other products in its Aurora series, including desktops similar to the Area-51 versions, or the AW2725Q monitor with the highest pixel density among QD-OLED monitors.
