Alienware X51 review

 

Does the Alienware X51 provide a genuine alternative to a games console?

Superb value ; Small footprint ; Phenomally powerful

Tricky to upgrade ; Still pricier than a console

Alienware X51 (2014) review

 

Does the refreshed version of our favourite gaming desktop have the might to take on a new generation of consoles?

Good components ; Winning performance:size ratio ; Fantastic for media

Draws lots of power ; A bit loud ; Below-par accessories

It’s not without its flaws, but the X51 remains the best balance of power and form currently available in PC land

Alienware X51 review

 

Alienware's Xbox 360-sized (and -styled) PC looks like the perfect machine to kick the console out of the house. But is it as happy sitting by the TV as under your desk?

Console beating power ; All the features of a full PC, under the TV ; Upgrading keeps pace with new tech

More expensive than an XBox or PS3 ; No wireless or Blu-Ray as standard

Well built, well specced and versatile, the skinny but mighty X51 is a killer addition to your study or living room

Dell Alienware X51 review

 

The X51 is a compact gaming PC from Dell's premium Alienware brand. It's about the same size as an Xbox Elite, and has a selection of clever features.

A neat design, but the X51 could do with a more powerful graphics card

Alienware X51 review

 

Among built-to-order gaming PCs, Dell-owned Alienware is about as close as one gets to a household name, and the brand is largely synonymous with huge black boxes covered in garish blinking lights. The new Alienware X51 is a marked departure from that...

I had a chance to check out the Alienware X51 a few weeks ago at a launch event in San Francisco, and I'm as impressed now as I was then. The X51 is a step in the right direction for Alienware: Large, imposing gaming rigs aren't going anywhere, but one...

AlienWare X51 System Review (Core i7)

 

Are you tired of the same, boring looking desktop system?

Good processing power ; keyboard and mouse included ; Fantastic chassis design ; efficient ; small physical footprint ; Runs fairly cool

It can get a little loud under heavy load ; If size or appearance isn’t important then there are better value for money systems at £900 ; standard memory without headspreaders

Kitguru says: If you are in the market for a new system that looks beautiful with a small physical footprint then the X51 comes highly recommended.
