In early September , Alienware announced that it would update its Aurora line of desktops and Area-51 laptops with the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 , 3090 and 3070 graphics cards. Recently the company officially presented these products, giving users the opportunity to buy them and take home some of the most powerful video game systems currently available.
The Alienware Aurora R11 (Intel) and Aurora Ryzen Edition R10 (AMD) desktops , which will retain their current cases, now offer the ability to be configured with custom GeForce RTX 3080 and GeForce RTX 3090 graphics cards . The R11 will also continue to offer options for installing 10th Gen Intel CPUs ranging from the Intel Core i5-10400F to the Intel Core i9-10900F while the R10 will be able to mount CPUs from the Ryzen 5 3500 to the Ryzen 9 3950X.
The allocation of RAM memory can range from 8GB to 128GB , while the devices for data storage can gofrom a single 256GB SSD to a combination of a 2TB SSD and a classic 2TB HDD .
Obviously, the most important feature is the introduction of NVIDIA GPUs based on the Ampere architecture, which are still quite unavailable on the retail market. Custom versions of Alienware can count on 10mm copper heat pipes and dual axial fans for cooling. Also, they should be 26.7cm long , but that’s all we know for now.
If you are more interested in a portable, Alienware has also updated its n otebook Area 51-m with FHD 360 Hz display . This is the highest refresh rate of virtually any other laptop on the market and even the best desktop gaming monitors today. The 360Hz refresh rate represents the big new frontier in displays, with the ROG Swift PG259QN being the first of three new 360Hz monitors this fall to hit the market when it launched in late August. Of course, the monitor was designed to take full advantage of the new GeForce RTX 3000 cards and quickly sold out, leaving machines like this laptop as one of the remaining ways to have a 360Hz display right now.
Alienware did not provide details regarding the internal components of this laptop prior to launch, so in addition to the display, there may not be many other changes. At the moment the new products can already be ordered on the manufacturer’s American website, while the Italian one has yet to be updated.
