Alienware Area-51 gaming laptops make a return at CES
The boss is back

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Alienware's Area-51 gaming laptops have been absent for the shelves for years now, with the most recent Area-51 MR2 only ever seeing an RTX 20-Series graphics card. The brand is bringing the beast back to town this year, with a new range of 16-inch and 18-inch machines sporting Nvidia's 2025 GPU set and Intel Core Ultr♛a 7 255HX and Ultra 9 27൩5HX processors.
The 18-incher will launch with Alienware's latest quad fan design, propelling up to 37% more air through the system while also reducing operating noise by 15%. Throwing those top of the range components in with a total power level of 280W (10W more than the Alienware M18 R2) will make for a seriously speedy machine. On paper, this looks like one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best gaming laptops hꦏeading our way in 2025, especially if the presti🔥ge of previous Alienware Area-51 rigs holds up.



There's enough power in here to send the Area-51 to the moon and back, and in true Alienware fashion the brand has kitted its machine out with true space vibes. An anodized metallic chassis reflects light in a manner inspired by the aurora borealis. That's combiꦍned with that classic Alienware RGB running through the rear cooling shelf and logo. There's more from those LEDs as well - a window beneath the main chassis reveals the internal fan system with full AlienFX lighting. It's not going to be seen too much during everyday use, but it's a continued nod to the PC / laptop hybrid system of the original Area-51 machines.
The 18-inch Alienware Area-51ܫ will ship with a QHD+ display ꧅running at a blistering 300Hz refresh rate, while the 16-inch model bumps that speed down to 240Hz.
Dell is keeping quiet on upgradeability. The original Area-51m machines launched with that sweet promise of future proofing - a promise that was never particularly fulfilled. Limited upgrade options meant that these components could only be swapped out for a select few options, a disappointment that eventually saw the model phased from the shelves. Last year's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Alienware M16 R2 and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Alienware M18 machines are staying put on the shelves for now (though with new Nvidia GPUs on the market we could see further refreshes in a few months time), so the Area-ಌ51 is looking to satisfy those after extra power rather than upgradeabꩵility at the moment.
The 2025 Area-51 will join both of these 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Alienware gaming laptops in Q1 of this year, with high-end configurations at $3,199. The base model will follow with entry level components 🐷at $1,999.
