I tested Alienware's new Area-51 RTX 5080 gaming laptop — and it's out of this world
The Alienware 16 Area-51 ($2,999 to start) isn't here to mess around. Featuring a futuristic design and powerful components, this machine delivers an incredible gaming experience that justifies its steep asking price. The Liquid Teal finish on the anodized aluminum chassis gives this laptop a dark iridescent sheen that shifts colors when viewed under different lighting conditions. I also like how the RGB lighting on the back mimics the motions of the aurora borealis, which serves to heighten this laptop's otherworldly feel. And if that wasn't enough, there's a clear Gorilla Glass window on the bottom that lets you see the internal components. Speaking of internals, all configurations pack an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU and up to an RTX 5090 GPU. Combine that with up to 64GB of RAM, and you have a machine that can play the best PC games at high frame rates, especially with Nvidia DLSS 4 enabled. Games also look beautiful on the laptop's 16-inch 240Hz display. Like the HP Omen Max 16, the Alienware 16 Area-51 is a heavy laptop with an equally massive price tag. But if you're looking for a gorgeous notebook offering peak gaming performance, then this machine is worth every penny. Find out why in my full review. Alienware 16 Area-51 gaming laptop (starting) Alienware 16 Area-51 gaming laptop (as reviewed) Price $2,999 $3,249 Display 16.0-inch, QHD+ 240Hz, 3ms (500 nit) display 16.0-inch, QHD+ 240Hz, 3ms (500 nit) display CPU Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX GPU Nvidia RTX 5070 mobile GPU Nvidia RTX 5080 mobile GPU RAM 32GB 32GB Storage 1TB 1TB Ports 2x USB-A, 3x USB-C (2x Thunderbolt 4), 1x HDMI, 1x SD-card slot, 1x headphone jack 2x USB-A, 3x USB-C (2x Thunderbolt 4), 1x HDMI, 1x SD-card slot, 1x headphone jack Dimensions 14.37 x 11.41 x 1.12 inches 14.37 x 11.41 x 1.12 inches Weight 7.49 pounds 7.49 pounds The Alienware 16 Area-51 impresses thanks to its powerful components, vivid 16-inch display and stellar design. Alienware's latest doesn't look like a typical gaming laptop. Though it doesn't skimp on RGB lighting, its Liquid Teal finish and curved edges give it a distinct appearance. The term 'otherworldly' is cliche, but it's an apt description. If aliens made laptops, I imagine those machines would look something like this. The sturdy chassis is not only eye-catching, but it feels good to touch thanks to the smooth aluminum surface. I enjoy the way the lid's colors shift under different lighting conditions since it's not something I usually see on electronics. Despite its unique appearance, the laptop isn't visually aggressive and can fit well in most environments. Our review unit is configured with a Cherry MX ultra-low-profile mechanical keyboard that's a dream to type on. The keys are clicky without being overly loud, and I'm satisfied with their short travel distance. The smooth and responsive touchpad is somewhat small, but it works just fine. Except for a 3.5mm headphone jack and an SD card slot on the left-hand side, all of the Alienware 16 Area-51's ports are located on the back. The ports in question include a pair of USB-A, three USB-C and one HDMI. I'm pleased with the overall port selection, but having them all on the back can make it difficult to connect and disconnect peripherals when the lid is open. However, this won't be much of an issue if you plan to keep this laptop on your desk and use it as your primary gaming or work machine. After reviewing the RTX 5090-driven HP Omen Max 16, I had high expectations for the Alienware 16 Area-51. Thanks to our review unit's Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, RTX 5080 laptop GPU and 32GB of RAM, I was not disappointed. This laptop is a gaming powerhouse. On Ultra Nightmare graphical settings and 1600p resolution, I got Doom: The Dark Ages to run at a buttery smooth 108-120 frames per second with DLSS 4 disabled during my testing. With DLSS 4 enabled, id Software's game can run at a little over 240 fps, which effectively matches the display's refresh rate. The more demanding Cyberpunk 2077 can run at around 70 fps at high settings and DLSS 4 turned off. With Nvidia's frame-generating tech enabled, the frame rate can hit around 240. Alienware 16 Area-51 (RTX 5080) Lenovo Legion Pro 7i (RTX 5080) HP Omen Max 16 (RTX 5090) Assassin's Creed: Shadows (Ultra High) 52 45 49 Black Myth: Wukong (Cinematic) 58 45 51 Cyberpunk 2077 62 50 58 In our lab tests, we run several titles through their respective built-in benchmark tool. As you can see in the table above, the Alienware 16 Area-51 can run games like Assassin's Creed: Shadows and Black Myth: Wukong close to 60 frames per second at 1080p resolution and max graphical settings without DLSS. This RTX 5080-powered laptop has comparable performance to the RTX 5090-powered Omen Max 16, which is pretty remarkable. DLSS 4 is a vital feature if you want to play games at blisteringly high frame rates. But even without DLSS, both my personal testing and our lab tests show you'll still get relatively smooth performance across various games. Not only do games run phenomenally, but they also look great on the Alienware 16 Area-51's 16-inch display. Though I wish there were an OLED option, the sharp 1600p resolution, smooth 240Hz refresh rate and overall vivid picture quality will keep your eyes happy. Neon signs and holograms in Cyberpunk 2077 have a nice glow to them, which enhances the futuristic feel. Games with more naturalistic hues, like Doom: The Dark Ages and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, also appear convincing. And while the display doesn't support HDR, it gets plenty bright, allowing you to see everything in clear detail. Alienware 16 Area-51 (RTX 5080) Lenovo Legion Pro 7i (RTX 5080) HP Omen Max 16 (RTX 5090) Nits (brightness) 515 464.4 362.8 sRGB 115.2% 196% 199.7% DCI-P3 81.6% 138.9% 141.4% Delta-E 0.21 0.29 0.31 Our lab testing backs up my anecdotal experience. As you can see above, the Alienware 16 Area-51 doesn't have oversaturated color reproduction (sRGB and DCI-P3). Color accuracy (Delta-E) is slightly better than on competing laptops like the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i and HP Omen Max 16. If you like bolder colors, you might prefer the displays on the latter two laptops. However, if you want colors that are comparatively more naturalistic, you might lean toward Alienware's display. The 240Hz refresh rate is perfect when playing games at equally high refresh rates. During my testing, I never saw a hint of stuttering or flickering. The 3ms response time isn't as low as on other laptops, but unless you're a professional gamer, you might not notice any input lag—I certainly didn't. I'm generally ambivalent about RGB lighting, but my feelings aren't mixed here. The Alienware 16 Area-51 features some spectacular RGB lighting. That Gorilla Glass bottom I mentioned doesn't just let you see what's on the inside; it also allows the RGB lighting on the fans to cast an underglow that's equally mesmerizing and spooky. This same lighting also goes up and through the top of the keyboard deck. The out-of-the-box colors and lighting effects are nice, but if you want, you can customize them via the built-in and user-friendly Alienware Commander Center app. The Alienware 16 Area-51 is unquestionably an excellent gaming laptop. However, it's not perfect. At 14.37 x 11.41 x 1.12 inches and 7.92 pounds, the Alienware 16 Area-51 is one big and heavy gaming laptop. The latter is especially true if you factor in the 2.2-pound power adapter. Due to the laptop's weight, I kept it on my desk and never took it into a meeting room at our office. I also didn't bring the laptop home with me like I always do with other devices I'm reviewing. The Alienware 16 Area-51's weight is admittedly a non-factor if you don't plan to take it anywhere. But if you want to travel with this enormous notebook, you might not have a good time. Laptops don't typically have great battery life, and the Alienware 16 Area-51 is no exception. In our testing, Alienware's notebook lasted just shy of two hours when running the PCMark 10 gaming benchmark test and a little over four hours while surfing the internet. Web surfing battery life (hh:mm) Gaming battery life (hh:mm) Alienware 16 Area-51 (RTX 5080) 4:10 1:50 Lenovo Legion Pro 7i (RTX 5080) 4:37 1:36 HP Omen Max 16 (RTX 5090) 3:20 1:25 As you can see, the Alienware 16 Area-51 lasted a little longer than its competitors for gaming battery life. It endured almost an hour longer than the Omen Max 16 when web surfing, which is commendable, but the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i ran almost 20 minutes longer. Like the laptop's weight, battery life won't be an issue if you keep the machine plugged in, which you'll want to do anyway to get the best gaming performance. But if you want to get work done while you're out and about, you'd better not leave the power brick behind. Not only does the Alienware 16 Area-51 sport a space-age design, but it also commands an astronomical price. Right now, this laptop starts at $2,999, which is on par (or more expensive) than even some of the best gaming PCs. A model packing an RTX 5090 GPU, 64GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD would set you back $3,949, which is firmly in gaming desktop PC territory. If you're looking to make this laptop your main work and gaming PC, then you might be able to justify the price, especially if you want a portable gaming rig. However, if you're not going to travel with this machine, you might be better off with a proper desktop PC like the $1,249 HP Omen 35L. There's no denying that the Alienware 16 Area-51 is a fantastic gaming laptop that delivers uncompromising RTX 50-series performance. On top of that, it's also a beautiful-looking machine with elegant curves and tasty RGB lighting. Yes, it's heavy and expensive, but it's also freakin' awesome! If you want a gaming laptop offering comparable performance but with an OLED panel, the Legion Go 7i Pro or HP Omen Max 16 are great, if expensive, alternatives. But if you like what I have to say about Alienware's gaming notebook and can stomach its price, then you won't go wrong with this purchase. The Alienware 16 Area-51 comes with my highest recommendation.

Alienware's new Aurora gaming laptops have a surprising change — here's what's new
Alienware has launched a couple of new laptops called the Alienware 16 Aurora and Alienware 16X Aurora. These are a little thinner and less gaudy than the stereotypical gaming laptop. It's still a gaming laptop through and through, but it dials back some of the excess for which the company's high-end gaming laptops are known. The design features a dark blue chassis that the company calls "interstellar indigo." The only visual element that stands out is the Alienware logo at the center of the case, but it's not as big and bright as some other Alienware models. Alienware made the difficult decision to drop what is called a thermal shelf from the laptop's design. Usually, this large cooling feature sticks out of the back of the laptop on the bottom, and it adds a lot of extra girth. Instead, the company included a cooler on the bottom that sucks cool air in from under the laptop and pushes it from the back and sides. This surprising change has allowed Alienware to make a thinner gaming laptop that's more portable than many of its other offerings. It's not going to be as small as one of the best MacBooks or another ultrabook, but it should be easier to carry around than a lot of other gaming devices. Alienware 16 Aurora Alienware 16X Aurora CPU Up to Intel Core 9 270H Up to Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX GPU Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050/4050/5060/5070 Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060/5070 (up to 115 W) Storage Up to 1TB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD Up to 2TB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD Memory Up to 32GB DDR5-5600 Up to 64GB DDR5-5600 Display 16-inch, 2560 x 1600, 120 Hz, G-Sync, 300 nit brightness 16-inch, 2560 x 1600, 240 Hz, G-Sync, 500 nit brightness Weight 5.49 pounds 5.86 pounds Overall, Alienware is pushing solid specs for both the 16 Aurora and 16X Aurora. With up to Nvidia 5070 GPUs and Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processors, you should be able to play more or less any game you can imagine. The weight is relatively light at 5.49 pounds for the 16 Aurora and 16X Aurora. Obviously, a 16-inch display means it'll be on the larger side, but the design tweaks make it smaller than some other gaming laptops with larger displays. As gaming laptops with high-end specs, they also come with a fairly high price tag. The base configuration of the 16 Aurora is $1,149, but it packs specs that might not be sufficient for some gamers. The 4050 GPU and 16GB of RAM aren't enough to run most high-end games at higher settings, so demanding gamers might want to spring for the extras. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. For the 16X Aurora, the price starts at $1,949, and you get far more respectable specs with an RTX 5060 as the cheapest GPU available and 32GB of RAM.

Intel's Arrow Lake HX gaming CPU is putting the MacBook Pro M4 Pro through its paces
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Intel's most powerful mobile CPU has arrived: the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX. Powering the Gigabyte Aorus Master 16 gaming laptop, does it live up to the hype? As with any new silicon, we compared Intel's Arrow Lake HX processor against its predecessor and current competition, especially AMD's latest chips. While Arrow Lake HX will mostly be used in gaming laptops, a few workstation models may opt for the HX variant instead of Arrow Lake H, so we decided to throw Apple M4 into the mix. So how does Intel's Core Ultra 200HX series stack up? Let's break it down. Intel's initial claims about the Arrow Lake HX indicated more than 5% single-thread uplift and 20% multithread performance gains over the 14th-generation Raptor Lake Refresh HX chipsets. We've seen only one iteration of Intel's Arrow Lake HX so far, and it isn't even the flagship Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX processor. However, these numbers do indicate a solid leap in performance over the 14th generation and improvement over the Arrow Lake H model, which is designed for high-performance thin and light laptops. The Gigabyte Aorus Master 16's Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX had a 5.7% increase in single-core performance on Geekbench 6 compared to the Intel Core i9-14900HX in the Razer Blade 16 (2024). It also outperformed the Intel Core Ultra 9 285H (MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo), AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (Razer Blade 16 2025), and AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (Asus ROG Flow Z13 2025) in single-core performance by 4-5%. The MacBook Pro 16's M4 Pro still holds the single-core performance record, but Arrow Lake HX is helping close the gap. The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX also had a 9.8% increase over the i9-14900HX in multicore performance on Geekbench 6, and Arrow Lake outperformed the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 by 19.6%. The Ultra 9 275HX was just shy of the multicore performance of the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and almost gave Apple's M4 Pro a run for its money. Granted, the Flow Z 13 does cap AMD's big Strix Halo Ryzen AI Max APU to just 70W of power, while the Gigabyte Aorus is a 230W laptop. At full power, the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 could offer higher performance, but we've seen that chip in only one device so far. Click to view chart data in table format. You'll notice that our Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor doesn't quite meet that 20% gen-to-gen uplift Intel promised. Typically, Intel is pretty on the mark with performance expectations. And that 20% could well be true of the Intel Core Ultra 7 or Core Ultra 5 variations of the Arrow Lake HX platform. We've also compared the most powerful Intel Core i9 CPU against the lower-tier Intel Core Ultra 9 chipset, so it's not a complete 1:1 comparison. Both are 24-core CPUs, but the 275HX has 24 threads in total, while the i9-14900HX has 32. Additionally, the 275HX features a lower max turbo frequency of 5.4GHz, while the i9-14900HX offers a 5.8GHz turbo speed. The Ultra 9 285HX still has fewer threads, as Intel ditched hyperthreading for the Arrow Lake generation, but it's got a slight boost clock improvement at 5.5GHz, which may help close the gap. Unfortunately, we don't have a great Raptor Lake Refresh comparison CPU for the Ultra 9 275HX. And we haven't received any 285HX laptops for testing just yet. We'll take another look at these gen-over-gen comparisons once we've got more testing data. While it isn't a 20% uplift, 10% is some solid gen-to-gen performance, and we saw healthy improvement in Geekbench, Handbrake video encoding, and CrossMark scores. Battery life is not the priority for an Intel HX processor. That's just a fact. The HX suffix chipsets are high-performance silicon designed for gaming or workstation laptops. They're almost always paired with high-end discrete GPUs, which cause battery life to suffer compared to the H suffix laptops, often shipped with just the integrated GPU. However, things may get better in this generation. Our Gigabyte Aorus Master 16 was paired with the Nvidia RTX 5080, which comes with Nvidia's revamped Battery Boost technology for up to 40% better battery life when gaming. While the web surfing battery life on the 275HX/5080 Gigabyte Aorus wasn't groundbreaking at 5 hours and 31 minutes, the gaming battery life hit an astounding 2 hours and 54 minutes based on the PCMark 10 Gaming Battery life benchmark. This is about 50 extra minutes of web surfing and nearly an 1 hour and 30 minutes more gaming time than the i9-14900HX/4090 Razer Blade 16. AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (7:22) is more efficient while surfing the web than the Arrow Lake HX CPU (5:31), but that's to be expected considering the Ryzen AI 9 processor is a 25W ultra-portable laptop chip compared to the 55W Arrow Lake HX. As for AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ 395, while the Flow Z 13 did offer longer web surfing battery life (10:14), the Arrow Lake Gigabyte Aorus outlasted AMD's big APU in gaming battery life (1:34). Click to view chart data in table format. Naturally, the Arrow Lake H chipset outlasted the Arrow Lake HX, since our MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo is using the integrated Intel Arc 140T graphics chip compared to a discrete Nvidia RTX 50-series GPU. The Core Ultra 275HX doesn't even come close to challenging the Apple MacBook Pro 16 M4 Pro's incredible battery life, nor would we expect it to. Arm-based computers like the MacBook Pro and the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s are in a class of their own, and Intel's Lunar Lake is the chip built to challenge that. Intel's Arrow Lake HX is built to offer competition against Apple Silcon's CPU power. Unfortunately, Apple remains unchallenged for another generation when it comes to offering benchmark-breaking CPU performance and outstanding battery life. Perhaps this Fall, we'll get that big blockbuster x86 CPU. Intel's Panther Lake is expected later this year, after all. It's still very early in the Intel Arrow Lake HX reviews cycle, so we don't have complete data on the new silicon yet. But based on this early look, Intel's managed to eke out a solid boost to performance and battery life with this new generation. Of course, results will vary depending on each laptop build, as multiple factors like GPU, battery size, and TDP can heavily impact performance and battery life on these machines. That's true of all laptops, but when you get to the high-performance machines, each different implementation of a CPU or GPU can have a great impact. Plus, few people will be upgrading their 14th-gen, RTX 40-series gaming laptops for the new generation. For those with an 11th-gen/30-series laptop or older, these new chips are a huge improvement across the board. After all, the base Geekbench 6 multicore score of 11,000 was set based on the desktop i7-12700K. And in 2025, those are rookie numbers even for thin and light laptops. "Arrow (Lake) is a wonderful, wonderful notebook product,' Intel VP shares what to expect from Intel's new processors in 2025 The RTX 5090 was supposed to be the chosen one, but does the RTX 4090 have the high ground?

U.S. RTX 50 laptop pricing starts from $1,899 for an RTX 5070 Ti toting Asus ROG Strix G16
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Nvidia's RTX 50 series laptop GPUs are expected to start shipping in March 2025, but retailers and OEMs are already putting up listings with prices. We've already seen laptops equipped with RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090 graphics cards go live on the Polish e-commerce website Dream Machines. And in January Best Buy listings for RTX 50 series laptops paired with either an Intel Arrow Lake-HX or AMD Dragon Range Refresh CPU, were spotted, with prices ranging from $1,899 to $4,199. Aside from these retailers, we've also started seeing some major laptop manufacturers going live with RTX 50-series laptop listings. For example, if you check the Asus U.S. store page, you'll find 16 laptops listed with Blackwell GPUs, ranging from the RTX 5070 to the RTX 5090. Unfortunately, only six of these laptops have price tags at the time of writing, with the most affordable being the ROG Strix Scar 16 which sports an RTX 5080 laptop GPU and an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX priced at $3,199.99. Image 1 of 2 Image 2 of 2 Those interested in the other end of the spectrum will have the ROG Strix Scar 18 which is powered by the RTX 5090 laptop GPU and the same processor for $4,299.99. HP is also offering a single laptop model, the HP Omen Max, that comes with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU and an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, priced at $2,699.99 at Best Buy. If we look through the table above, the price for RTX 5090 laptops ranges from $3,999.99 to $4,199.99, while those with an RTX 5080 are priced between $2,699.99 and $3,399.99. Lastly, an RTX 5070 Ti laptop will set you back by $1,899.99. These prices stay on track with Nvidia's pricing for these laptop GPUs, which shows how much GPU prices have inflated through the years. Gaming laptops powered by an RTX 40-series laptop GPU debuted in 2023, with enthusiast-class laptops equipped with an RTX 4080 starting at $1,999 — a nearly 35% increase in pricing based on currently available data. Hopefully, we will find more laptop models equipped with RTX 50-series Blackwell GPUs as March 2025 comes nearer. This should deliver more competition and maybe lower prices for consumers. But given that the laptop GPU itself is priced so high, it's unlikely that we'll get an 'enthusiast-class' laptop with an RTX 5080 and up for less than $2,500.
