Alienware Aurora R14 Liquid Cooled Gaming Desktop - AMD Ryzen 9 5900, 32GB 3466MHz RAM, 1TB SDD + 2TB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 10GB GDDR6X Graphics, VR Ready, USB-C, Windows 11 Home – Black

I bought this during Prime Day 2022 (July) and the price/value is based on that. Pros: Good packaging, fast delivery, arrived on time and undamaged. The SSD isnt as big as Id like for my active steam library but the extra storage and even playing turn-based games off the spinning rust platters seems to work fine. Plays everything Ive thrown at it just fine, no heat or performance issues even on the most demanding games. Cons: The hard drive can be louder than Im used to with annoying noises during the write functions. Due to my desk setup the one side with the window into the box as shown in the picture ends up facing the window so a bit of a lost feature. Overall, I think its solid for a prebuilt, but if you do some research, you will note that this isnt the full X version of the MB/Processor that AMD sells if you were to build it yourself. However, I havent seen any performance issues. Side note - The amazon splitting of payments on items like this is rather nice. Unlike doing it through Dell/Alienware there is no credit check/hit on that and you can pay off early at any time with no interest or penalties.

I purchased a used version from Amazon as Acceptable. It runs fine, but came with some nice Chinese Malware on it. Always run updated Defender in safe mode and wouldnt hurt to run Malwarebytes, but most importantly, always reinstall Windows yourself after getting pre-built systems.

If you get this computer be prepared to run the alienware command center computer support checkup 10x in the first week. It needs updates to fix alot of reasons people have been complaining for the last year+. I got a bootup blue screen when it didnt process my game correctly and had to hardboot the system ran the alienware command center asap and yep another driver needed to be updated. Basically everytime I hit an issue I would rinse repeatedly this process. It now works fine. I however dont like its sleep mode it will Rev up slightly and make a click noise every hour or so. I sleep with it in my room super annoying I just shut it down completely now. It does not like some modding programs specifically wemod + gta. It will black screen for a couple minutes after exiting a game and give you a horror show feeling when you worry it wont leave the black screen. If I would have known all these issues probably wouldnt have bought it but it runs great when playing games so its a trade off. *update* I ended up returning this before it was to late to return it after it started shutting down randomly on sims 4 game. At this point I was checking for updates every 2-3 days and the glitches continued. Never had so many issues with an alienware this would have been my 3rd. Decided I wasnt going to have a new computer that was to high maintenance. Kinda thinking I may try a different brand after this experience.

Overall great PC. Dont really notice the fans. My only issue is Ive had it about six months and the liquid cooler just went out. On the other hand, support has been great. They couldnt find the right cooler for my unit so I have to send the whole unit back which is a little bit of a pain, but the customer service has been great. Would definitely recommend to anybody!!

Youre paying for the name. Its fine, but its not worth what theyre asking for it, and I got mine on sale. You can find the same quality for half the price

I was planning on building a new pc like I normally do. Saw this on Prime day and decided it was worth it instead of my time. I was correct. This is a great pc.

Never had a NEW PC that takes 3 min to start from time to time, and occasionally runs into a blue screen when its idle and needs to restart.

If you want an awesome gaming machine then look no further. Not only that the customer service is amazing.

I’ve been waiting 25 years to get my hands on an Alienware system. This one does not disappoint. It’s system fans barely hum during normal games and speed up only slightly during a game set to Ultra graphics settings. For years, I’ve had to check game requirements to see if my computer could run the minimum specs(?). Now, that’s no longer a concern. I can run any game I want and at maximum settings.

Absolutely love my pc. Had bought a cyberpower pc lasted 3 days. So read reviews and bought this one. I have no complaints amd its a beast.
