Is it just me or does the new Aurora look subpar?

Yes „one size does not fit all“ is well put. And Alienware as a brand does not fit all and should not try to fit all. It is a premium gaming brand and users expect top performance and build quality. I had the Aurora 16X in my hand because i wanted to check it our for myself. And it might be ok for a

What laptop do you guys use to run wuwa?

If your budget is about $1500 you can probably manage a Legion 5/5i with a 5060M and 32GB of RAM with at least the 1600p 165Hz screen. That'd be my default suggestion to you and likely your best choice. Legion 5 will have better battery life with the Ryzen 7 260 or 350, but the Legion 5i will be bet

Alienware laptop 2025 range

I don't know what possibly could Dell's marketing team be smoking. They made the dumbest ever decision to kill off XPS, Latitude and other decades old well established sub branding. And most importantly, they killed, or better say merged Dell G15/G16 gaming laptop line with Alienware. The Aurora 16/

Is the Alienware 16X Aurora worth buying right now? Is it good?

If you run windows the 16x is actually pretty fantastic. I had to for a little bit and if you leave it to do its thing and dont mess with Alienware Controls or anything with just a plain windows install it just works well. Overall a great laptop Ive really loved owning from the perspective of build

XPS alternative with numpad?

Alienware Aurora 16x. Still Dell, still great build quality, still powerful, has a number pad. About twice as heavy as an XPS15 though.
