Hey r/Alienware

Especially in these trying times of memory shortages, you really need to find a way to open up the XMP whitelist for memory. Right now Area-51 owners have just two options, official Dell 32gb and 64gb. It’s outrageously priced, and the timings are really loose. Paying 1k just to get 64GB 6400mts at

Alienware 15 Laptop

Seem like is is going to be their entry level model. The 16/16x their mid range and the area-51 the high end line. All the other dell product have 3 tier so except if you're on a budget I see no reasons to get this over the 16.

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

I hear you, but not everyone has the money nor the need for a top range Area 51 laptop. What's the alternative?

Basically I’ve had the same spec Area 51 but with 5090 since January within 2 weeks I had an engineer at my house changing every component apart from the screen because it constantly crashed. That took 4 days on the phone before they sent an engineer even though I bought elite care. I work in Senega

Considering Buying A51 18 (laptop) - should I wait?

As stated I paid $3400. That was for an Area 51 18”. Doing a custom configuration on Dell’s site it’d be $5350 since that’s the only place I can find a similar build with the 290HX so far. Bear in mind all we have for performance increase numbers, that I could find from reliable sources, is Intel’s

O que rolou nos preços da Dell?

Sim, como a galera comentou, subiu. Na verdade, nos notebooks, ainda demorou consideravelmente para vermos o impacto da crise das IAs. Graças à Deus não preciso de notebook, e montei meu desk em agosto do ano passado, mas antes disso eu tinha um (saudoso) Dell G15, com RTX 3060/R7 5800H, e eu estava
