INTENTIONAL THERMAL STRATEGY
Our design prioritizes airflow efficiency and improved acoustics by introducing larger passageways and optimized internal cable management resulting in 20% quieter operation, on average, and 7% lower temperatures compared to the Aurora R15. This approach — combined with liquid cooling CPU — contributes to an incredibly smooth gaming experience.
Based on internal analysis, June 2023, using identical components. Performance may vary.
-
GAME COOL AND QUIETLY
Central to the Aurora R16's thermal strategy is the increase in its ventilation's total surface area. The side hexagonal array, top surface exhaust, and the front stadium intake all provide significantly larger pathways for ambient air to enter and heat to be exhausted. This increase is the driving force behind the desktop's efficient airflow, cooling and acoustics. The 240mm heat exchanger, available on the CPU liquid cooling, heightens thermal resistance, ensuring temperatures stay consistently low during longer gaming sessions.
-
MARATHON GAMING UNLOCKED
All Aurora R16s are equipped with our 12-phase voltage regulation design. This high-performance technology exists to ensure clean energy is consistently available, enabling 13th Gen Intel Core processors to run at the highest levels for hours upon end.
-
SOLID SPEED AND STORAGE
Seriously fast load times are made possible thanks to loading Windows from our solid-state drives. Aurora R16 has two PCIe NVMe M.2 slots that enable to 1TB of total storage space.
Purchase model configurations will vary. Subject to third party purchase of additional storage. SSDs are user-replaceable for 8TB of total SSD storage.
-
GAME AND STREAM CONFIDENTLY
Advanced and high-speed networking is made possible with Wi-Fi 6E and 2.5Gbps Ethernet, enabling the best wired and wireless connectivity.

Wi-Fi 6E requires Windows 11 operating system and compatible router. Router requires a separate purchase.
-

- Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2025I didn't want to buy a pre-built, but. Wow. I got it on a deal and I can honestly say that this thing is a beast. Worth every penny.
It had probably the most current components when assembled so it'll stay running high end games for quite a while. Its a beefy boy for sure (kinda large) and yet its their "minimalist" build lol. Fairly heavy so for the love of all that's holy, don't drop it. Heavy just means it's choc full of goodies. Its as beginner friendly as a microwave. Plug in all the wires and cords, turn it on, it works.
To recap: good for the price (on sale or not really), it's a bit on the 'big' side, got some heft, and works exactly as a gaming PC should... Playing 99% of modern titles on ultra graphics like a dream lol
- Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2024I ordered this on a Friday and received it on Saturday around 2pm and it was in perfect, unopened shape. It was very easy to get set up and running. I did a few internet searches to learn how to disable/remove all the bloatware MS puts in Windows that I didn't want (copilot, etc.) and then I was off to the races. I can not emphasize enough just how quiet this machine is! My last pc, a Corsair, was, I thought, a pretty quiet machine, but it would (seemingly randomly) turn on its fans once in a while and dispel the quiet - even when nothing appeared to be going on to cause it generate extra heat. This alienware r16, by contrast, is just plain always quiet. I haven't put it through a truly heavy workload yet, but I'm throwing all sorts of games and apps at it, and it's just so quiet. It starts up very quickly, and is just plain the nicest system I have ever owned. I guess, at least sometimes, you really do get what you pay for. This is a rock-solid machine. Very much recommended. Also, if you're like me, and you'd been avoiding Windows 11 as long as possible, I can tell you it's not too bad at all, once you tweak it to your liking. As I said at the top, it was pretty easy to get the bloatware out (the one thing they embed like a tick is Edge, but I'm working on that). Everything else that you don't want is pretty easy to pare out, leaving behind a system that runs well and puts very little load on your resources, leaving most of this system's impressive power and speed available to run the apps and games you actually care about.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2025Purchased about 5 months ago and have used it daily for tasks and gaming. I’ve had 0 issues so far and am impressed with how smooth this PC runs. Fans are very quiet and temps stay cool. Very happy with this purchase.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2024My Aurora is two weeks old. I have been having issues since it arrived - Crashes, blue screen recovery, restarts - several times per day. Amazon product support was no help. DELL (Alienware) Technical Support was great. After hours of remote work trying to find and fix the issue, they declared the defect unfixable and told me to return the unit to the seller. AMAZON's ONLY solution is to return for a refund and re-purchase at a substantially HIGHER PRICE.
The unit delivered was defective. They will not replace the unit. They will not sell me a new unit at the original price. If I want what I purchased. I will have to pay several hundred dollars more than I paid 2-weeks ago.
Shame on you Amazon! I have the entire discussion with several Amazon support representatives recorded. They repeated over and over that my only option was to pay a higher price to replace the exact same model defective unit.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2024I like this PC set up the LEDs are colorfull and you can change the colors if wanted.the noise level under load isn't loud at all good fan flow though the water resvoir. Not a bad price at all with the services given.A fast cpu i9 13900f. Paired with the RTX 4070 Nvidia gpu. Great functionality all together in this setup.fast delivery in the mail as well all together one of my best setups to date.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2024This Review has been started the day after it arrived. everything looked really good until windows was fully set up and I started trying to download apps and surf the web. I was getting download speeds ranging from 10-50kb a second, ridiculously slow. This was clearly an issue with the PC because everything else in the room was getting upwards of 100Mb a second. I tried a few fixes on my own and then called dell tech support.
I was on the phone with them for about 2 hours and they walked me through a number of other fixes, all of which have not worked. But they will be sending out a technician to take a look at it next week, will keep updating this review as the situation unfolds.
Update -
LOL, it turns out that the issues I was having were my fault. I thought that the antenna that the PC uses to connect to wifi and bluetooth was a wireless phone charger or something. I did not plug it in because my phone does not use that. As soon as the antenna got plugged in everything worked perfectly.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2024Honestly been ripping every game at ultra settings got the i9 option and the thing runs beautifully. Was skeptical of getting a prebuilt but it lives up to the Alienware name and price.
I wanted to write an additional piece as I’ve had this for a couple months now. This thing rocks, can run any game at really any quality and is so smooth and quiet. Definitely worth the cost if you’re not able to build one on your own. Only caveat is storage but you can always add on storage

I can build PC i just didn't want to put in the time looking up new parts i have not been keeping up on the lates news GAMERS NEXUS best U tube channel to get honest revies in my book anyway not that hard to find what parts i want but this would just save my time so looked for a pre build and found the R16 was better not just looking but performance (thermals) from R15
this has a app to set up your fans, better to just use the default setting
so far so good got this Feb 4 so 13 days in all is well
