- Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2023processor_description: R7-5800memory_size: 16 GBStyle: RTX 3070Verified Purchasethis has been an amazing PC since i got it, i had a little issue with Windows 11 but was able to fix that by jumping back down to windows 10. Overall, everything i throw at this thing has worked with no issues at all. I mainly play GTA RP, COD, Fortnite and right now i picked up sea of thieves. I play on high settings and get around 90-120 FPS. I do think the ram could be upgraded a little bit and would look into getting 32GBs right away.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2025processor_description: R9-7900Xmemory_size: 32 GBStyle: RTX 4080Verified PurchaseI love this PC. So far I can run Cyberpunk 2077 on max with no issues, at about 90 FPS. I wanted to upgrade the RAM to run at 5600 speed; the RAM it came with is 4800. There is no way to do this. The latest bios removed the ability to overclock, so the RAM timing won't change to 5600 even with the right memory. You can overclock the CPU with Ryzen Master, but it can't change the RAM speed. I'm not sure why they mention overclocking in the description. Remember that this is only the AMD version; I have heard the Intel version can still be overclocked in bios.
BUT, you really shouldn't need to OC anything, it works great out of the box!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2023processor_description: R9-7900Xmemory_size: 32 GBStyle: RTX 4080Verified PurchaseBought this as a X-mas gift on Nov 27th (cyber-Monday) and I officially won't have this purchase sitting under the Christmas tree come tomorrow.
Arrived Dec 4th it a box that looked adequately packaged with no visible damage. Waited until everyone had gone to bed to open it and begin setting up Windows and preinstalling some games to have it gaming ready on Xmas day, once unwrapped. Followed instructions and went to turn it on and nothing happened. Tried the troubleshooting tips on Dell's website, no luck. Reached out to the service desk live chat and got a bot - it's not a 24-hour help desk. Waited until normal business hours next day and contacted a Dell representative who tried walking me through the same steps that I attempted the night before. She determined that it was a faulty motherboard and set up a Dell technician to arrive in a couple days to replace it. Later that week I received a message that the technician's arrival would be pushed out until following week to await the part they needed. Technician arrived a week after initial appointment and replaced motherboard. Plugged in and actually got some lights to turn on but was flashing a fault code and wouldn't boot up. Technician contacted the help desk to troubleshoot based on fault code which he understood to be a power supply issue. Advised that the next step would be to have Dell mail me a box and then send this out to a repair facility for diagnostic and repair (why isn't this in the technician's wheelhouse??). Dell mailed a box, and in the meantime, I reached out to Amazon to figure out what options I had with them. They advised they could provide a refund but would not be providing me a replacement. Getting a refund meant that I would have to go and repurchase this without the cyber-Monday discount, which is really what made this purchase affordable in the first place. I checked the Dell service page, and it indicated that if I followed the timeline on repairs, I could have it back by Christmas, so I shipped the PC to the facility once the box arrived. Tracking my repair ticket, package had arrived Dec 18th and was still showing a back by Xmas date and the facility began diagnostics. I checked update later in the week to anticipate and time out me being available to sign for the package upon it's return, however I received an update that the repair facility had placed an order for "one or more parts" that would be delayed and that my new ETC isn't until January 3rd?! I'm beyond frustrated with this situation. Never have I ever received such complications surrounding a purchase and here I am, out thousands of dollars, with absolutely nothing to show for it. Thank god I purchased the asurion extended warrantee with this (first time buying a Dell) as I have no confidence that this will be last of my issues throughout the lifetime of the purchase. As it stands, I don't even have the computer in my possession to actually initiate the Amazon refund at this point.
I've purchased several ROG computers, up until this point without any issues. Dell has a lot to make up for here and as it stands, I don't think I'll be making a purchase from them again in the future.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2023processor_description: R7-5800memory_size: 16 GBStyle: RTX 3070Verified PurchaseDive into the gaming cosmos with the Alienware Aurora R14 VR Ready Gaming PC. This beast of a machine is like stepping into another dimension where gaming knows no bounds.
Powered by the mighty AMD Ryzen 7 5800 and armed with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, it's like having the gods of gaming on your side. The performance is smooth and seamless, delivering an unparalleled gaming experience that leaves you in awe.
The 16GB 3466MHz RAM is like the perfect supporting actor in this gaming blockbuster. It ensures your multitasking flows effortlessly, allowing you to conquer virtual worlds without any hiccup. It's a symphony of speed and efficiency.
The storage options are a treasure trove. With a 512GB SSD and a 1TB HDD, it's like having a vault for your gaming library. Load times are a thing of the past, and storage concerns are a distant memory. You've got the space for all your gaming adventures.
The design is the epitome of gaming elegance. The sleek black exterior, the alien-inspired aesthetics – it's like having a spaceship ready to take you on a gaming odyssey. It's a marvel to look at and a joy to own.
In summary: Alienware Aurora R14, the gaming celestial phenomenon! With this powerhouse, you're not just playing games; you're immersing yourself in a gaming universe. Prepare for a gaming saga that will leave you breathless and your friends green with envy. Your gaming nirvana awaits!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2024processor_description: R7-5800memory_size: 16 GBStyle: RTX 3070Verified PurchaseBought this for my wife a few years back as we are both avid gamers and she was now using just her laptop and wanted a desktop again. It handles games great (both old and new). The last game she downloaded was "Dragon Age: The Veilguard" and it runs beautifully.
Pros: Fantastic gaming machine, seamless visuals.
Cons: Fans tend to sound a bit loud at times when running games (not an issue if you use a gaming headset).

1.0 out of 5 stars Won't boot up. Error codes LED
processor_description: R9-7900Xmemory_size: 32 GBStyle: RTX 4080Verified PurchaseYup, I was swayed by those "ignore the negative reviews, it's a powerhouse" type of endorsements you can read here. But straight out of the box, it wouldn't boot up, just gave me 2 amber and 4 white flashes on the front LED. It's waiting to goon its way back to Amazon (kudos to them for the immediate return acceptance - a solid 5 stars for the Amazon shopping experience). I'm not even going to engage with Alienware support, despite its high ratings. For a computer that's nearly $3000, a non-functional unit straight out of the box is simply unacceptable. And so, I've left my first-ever 1-star review (as I can remember). I had such high expectations for this PC, but I'm done with Alienware.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Alienware R15 AMD (RTX 4080 and Ryzen 9 7900x)
processor_description: R9-7900Xmemory_size: 32 GBStyle: RTX 4080Verified Purchase-Original Review:
There were a couple hiccups upon arrival, such as one of the fans being knocked loose in shipment, and AWCC not being preinstalled, but once those two issues were sorted, everything has been stellar. I have put this R15 through all major benchmarking software and I've been able to play all games flawlessly (I've tried Hogwarts Legacy, Jedi Survivor, Cyberpunk, Warzone, Alan Wake 2, TLOU pt1, Fortnite, among others). For reference, I use a 49" Samsung Ultrawide Oled and needed a GPU that could effectively support it. The RTX 4080 is fantastic and the RYZEN 9 7900X performs admirably. I also added a secondary NVME Samsung 990 pro 2TB (without heat sink) with ease.
I was a bit worried about this device as I've seen many mixed reviews, but I am thrilled with my purchase and the performance of the machine. Although I was planning on building my own gaming rig, for the price on sale, the value is unmatched. I'd highly recommend trying one out for yourself.
-9 Month Update:
I decided to give a quick update as I’ve had this device for 3/4 of a year now. Honestly, it’s the best gaming device I’ve ever had. Runs quiet and cool, can handle anything I throw at it, and it just runs extremely well. I play some demanding games such as Starfield, COD, TLOU, Alan Wake 2, Elden Ring, both Horizon games, both Jedi games, and many other, and I’ve had not one crash or issue. I’m honestly shocked. I know there may be some lemons out there, but this has been a flawless experience. I even convinced three of my friends to get the same device, and they all love them.
Verdict: if you can get this on sale, it’s one of the best gaming devices for value with a 4080 on the market. Try it for yourself. Amazon has a great return policy for a reason. I’d highly recommend it! If I had to do it again I would buy it 10x over.
