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
Lacks the all-around polish of more expensive Alienware systems
Unexciting processor
Smallish hard drive
Lower End Dual Core Processor
Smaller Hard Drive
Big and Heavy
Some lower-priced systems offer better value
Productivity performance
Clunky Alienware case
Overclocking and other features reserved for a still higher-end Alienware system
No HDMI output.
Fairly Expensive
Base Hard Drive Is Too Small
Relatively Meager 3D Card For Gaming System
Tired case design
Expensive For Sure
Drive Bay Not Hot-Swap
Expensive Extended Warranty
Expected better performance. No top tray
USB cords better be long. Loud at startup. Need extra vertical room for vents.
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
Pricey
Heavy Don't Cheat On Your PushUps
TriSLI Can Have Diminishing Returns
Not as many configuration options as the competition
Le top pour jouer !Le meilleur processeur du moment couplé à une redoutable carte 3D font de cet Alienware le meilleur ami des accros au jeu.
Le prix est franchement démesuré, et le niveau sonore insupportable. Et à part Windows XP et quelques utilitaires, aucun logiciel digne de ce nom à se mettre sous la dent !
processeur Core 2 Extreme d’Intel le plus rapide du marché, nouveau boîtier moins haut que ses prédécesseur, éclairage innovant et personnalisable, panneaux latéraux amovibles sans outil.
nouveau boîtier encore trop volumineux, le prix.

Au final cet Alienware Aurora 7500 est clairement une machine de guerre qui a démontré dans les benchmarks qu’en termes de performance, il est difficile de faire beaucoup mieux aujourd’hui, hormis le Quad-SLI. Les performances sont en effet au...

Il est maintenant lheure de conclure. Commençons par ce qui fait le point fort dAlienware : le look. Même si lon sattendait à quelque chose de plus brillant, dun peu moins sobre de la part du constructeur, il faut avouer que nous avons été séduit...
Der Alienware Area-51 ist einer der schnellsten serienmäßigen Gaming-PCs auf diesem Planeten und zudem sehr gut ausgestattet. Allerdings ist der Rechner mit 4.400 Euro auch astronomisch teuer.Autor/en: Klaus LängerWeitersagen Drucken/* */...

High-End-Komplettsysteme wie die von Alienware kämpfen gegen den Ruf überteuert und schlecht zusammengestellt zu sein. Zumindest das letztgenannte Argument können wir beim Area 51 nicht bestätigen. Nicht jeder der verfügbaren Konfigurationen ist jedoch ...
Abstract: Ob der Alienware-Rechner wirklich sein Geld wert ist, das muss der jeweilige Käufer für sich entscheiden. Potent ist der PC allemal - selbst in einer Ausführung unter 4.000 Euro. Wer wirklich das Maximum aus dem Gerät herauskratzen und dabei möglichst ...
