The Alienware Area-51 ($3,749 to start) resurrects the company’s iconic branding in a big way, literally. This is easily the largest and heaviest gaming PC I’ve tested. And its giant size isn’t just for show, as it packs equally powerful components inside its futuristic frame. This is a gaming rig that boldly screams, “Go big or go home!”
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 GPU, Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU and 64GB of RAM in our review unit allow the Alienware Area-51 to run games well above 60 frames per second, even with all graphical settings cranked up. Its positive-pressure cooling design keeps the machine running silently, no matter how much you’re taxing it.
