Alienware Aurora R16 review: a little less Alien, a little more office

The Alienware Aurora R15, Dell's powerful and expensive gaming PC outfitted with some of the highest specs on the market. The Alienware Aurora R16, however, attempts something different. While it's still a gaming desktop, it's undergone a redesign to...

Great performance Compact chassis Great port selection Excellent ventilation

A bit pricey Glass side panel is pointless

It seems that Dell is trying to appeal to the office PC market with its Alienware line while still maintaining its grip on the gaming market. This means that the Alienware Aurora R16, thanks to its stylish yet understated design, could attract hybrid...

The Aurora R16 represents a new direction for Alienware's gaming desktops, moving away from the spaceship looks of the Alienware Aurora R15 and those before it for the broader appeal of traditional boutique-built gaming rigs. Dell says the Aurora R16...

Alienware Aurora R16 Review: Thinking Inside the Box (Updated)

The Alienware Aurora R16's boxy redesign is safe, but small enough to fit on a desk. While the system comes at a decent price, Alienware continues to use proprietary parts that make it hard to upgrade in the future.

Smaller chassis than previous versions Lots of ports on the front Decent pricing for pre-built market

Still using proprietary motherboard and server-style power supply Fans can run loud while gaming Chassis design may be too safe for some

Anytime something iconic (or at least attention-grabbing) changes, it's bound to create some strong feelings. Me? I think I prefer Alienware's more compact, traditional mid-tower shape, even if it loses some of the brand's bombast and attitude. It's...
