The editors didn't like

  • Upgrades Quickly Raise Price
  • Base Features Could Really Be Higher
  • New case is still huge.
  • No 64-bit Vista option limits performance and memory support
  • Distinctive case design not for everyone.
  • Basic wired keyboard and mouse
  • Immense case
  • Limited expansion options
  • Standard warranty lasts a mere 90 days.
  • Incredibly heavy and imposingly large. Only one optical drive? At this price wed expect more than a oneyear warranty. 1200 watt power supply ensures the unit doubles as a space heater.
  • Software for customized lighting is still a work in progress.
  • Case can be gaudy looking to some Fairly loud
  • Could be quieter
  • About $2
  • 000 more than PCs with similar hardware
  • But with few benefits in performance or features
  • 700-watt power supply not enough for SLI with the GeForce 8800 GTX 3D card it ships with.
  • Expensive
  • Hard drives are LOUD
  • SLI not enabled by default
  • Power button on the front of the case

  • Despite the big 3D card
  • The X51's slim-tower chassis still has a limited upgrade path
  • Huge tower. 128GB solid-state boot drive is on the small side. You need a 4K display to take advantage of the triple-GPU setup. Boutique gaming systems are still faster. Only one-year standard warranty

  • Performances de haut vol, Interface de gestion convaincante, Système d'ouverture des parois
  • Échauffement, bruit, Conception discutable, La 4K, mais pas pour tous les jeux
  • Cet A51 est une machine d'exception, et conclure sur un tel produit n'est pas chose aisée. Mais disons-le clairement, notre enthousiasme ne risque pas de vous transporter (pas plus que vous ne pourrez transporter ce A51).Commençons par évoquer ses perform...

  • Puissant, Bonne gestion de la température, Très puissant, Bonne sortie casque, Vraiment très puissant
  • Mauvaise gestion des nuisances sonores, Qualité des finitions internes très décevante
  • L'Alienware Area 51 est avant tout destiné aux joueurs qui cherchent un maximum de puissance sans mettre les mains dans le cambouis. Cette configuration ultime se paye cependant à prix d'or et n'est, étonnamment, pas dénuée d'imperfections, dont un bruit ...

  • Noter un PC de bureau comme cet Area 51 d'Alienware est quasi impossible. Que noter ? Les performances ? L'assemblage ? Faut-il faire intervenir le prix ? Dans quelle mesure ? Un casse-tête sans fin... Alors nous nous sommes posés la question, un peu subj...

  • À tous les détracteurs d'Alienware : oui, se fabriquer une machine aussi puissante pour moins cher est possible. C'est un fait connu et reconnu. Mais, n'a-t-on pas le droit de rêver aussi dans le monde de l'informatique, comme on le fait devant de la maro...

  • La puissance, Le design

  • Le look
  • Le rapport prix/équipement
  • Les PC de bureau ou portables du constructeur Alienware sont en général des machines puissantes au design plutôt particulier. Ils sadressent donc à une population prête à dépenser le prix dune voiture dans un PC. Le constructeur semble souhaiter chan...
