I purchased this because I also have an R5 I purchased the year before and it is awesome. This R7 is lightning fast but the problem was the out-of-the box use of some pretty basic functions. The operating system will not shut down or put the system to sleep (learned this the first day and called Dell the next day). The front power button will also not put the system to sleep unless it is held in for a hard shut down. Called Dell and went through the hour+ long process of trying to diagnose the problem with this brand new machine which only had factory installed software. Unfortunately I now have to schedule an evening to reinstall the factory image with Dell support. Kind of a hassle. This has apparently been a recurring problem with R5s and R6s, though my R5 has never experienced this issue. UPDATE: So Dell technical support (in India) was absolutely horrible and are clearly not knowledgeable about this issue and the very, very simple solution which I found on the internet while on hold for an hour (run Windows Powershell as Administrator and simply type: powercfg -h off; then type: exit). So simple, but the technical support wanted to wipe my system and start from scratch, which probably would not have changed this setting anyway. Thumbs down for their technical support, but the system is really great.
I have using this computer nearly 2 mouths, it's really quick, quiet, and cool~
the computer is air-cooled. but the illustration of the advertisement shows a liquid cooling. I think the suppler should make it more clear, because the liquid cooling system may cost nearly 80$ if you want make an improvement.
the supply power is 480W, if you want dual graphics, you have to change the power too.
The design of this computer is cool, but the heat dissipation is very general. The air-cooled standby temperature is 60 degrees. If it is replaced with liquid cooling, it is 40 degrees. you can't say this is a very good performance.
Let's talk about the advantages, this computer is very solid, although the shell is not metal, but there are steel plate support inside. The envelop ensures its quietness. The CPU of this computer is 8700, not 8700K. Less heat rejection also ensures stable system operation. 1070 graphics can do any job under 2K. and don't forget the nemv SSD，there is no jerry cut.
consider at the price, the computer won't let you down. I think it is a good product.
So glad I bought this. I'm running Battlefield 4 on ultra at like 200 FPS. Same for Battlefield 1. Minecraft gets well over a thousand frames per second. And this machine is so fast for regular tasks like loading programs, etc. This is well worth the price I paid (I think $1300 or $1500?). I don't know much about computers but wanted to play pc games like Total War, Battlefield, etc. and this machine lets me do it all with great performance. I was wrestling with the idea of investing more money in the variation that has the 1080ti but I don't think there was a significant enough boost in performance in order to warrant the additional couple of hundred dollars for the upgrade, at least based on what I've read online with performance reviews, etc.
My next step for this machine is to get some VR games on it. I highly recommend this machine.
Quiet, blazing fast, should last for years, so far I consider it well worth the price. I have it hooked to my HDTV (via HDMI) and my monitor(DVI to HDMI) so I can work on it if I need to and play games with it hooked to my 55 inch tv. Been playing prey, graphics are great on both. I'm also a software developer, this handles Visual Studio development very easily. Strongly recommend!
I got the 1080 with optane version and just set it up last night, so far so good.
I have it hooked up to a 27" Dell 2k monitor with G-Sync. A monitor with G-Sync is an absolute must for this graphics card, and currently the one I got is on sale at bestbuy and is the cheapest on the market.
Only tested two games so far:
Arma 3 on ULTRA settings, was hovering at around 80 fps. Pretty good for a terribly optimized game.
League of Legends (never looked so good lol) at max settings peaked at the beginning of the game at over 500 fps, and hovered in the mid 200's to 300's for the majority of the match.
Some pros so far:
>The case looks even better in person, and you can customize the lights. Hands down best looking AW case I've seen, some of them can look really ridiculous.
>Powerful. If it can handle a game as terribly optimized as Arma 3 on ULTRA, it can handle anything.
>Alienware Command Center is definitely a neat tool to monitor your thermals, and manually adjust your fan profiles.
>Although I haven't done it yet, it's very easy to take it apart to get at the internals. I've seen videos of people doing it, and it requires no tools; just pop off the side and push a lever and you're looking at the motherboard.
Only con I've noticed so far:
>Thermals. Seeing as this Amazon config is *NOT* running liquid cooling, you need to manually adjust the fan profiles to actually make a difference. They don't do too much at default settings. They are super loud, and it makes me a little nervous. I personally will be looking at liquid cooling options very soon.
The verdict so far is that it's a fantastic beast of a machine. I will update this review as I spend more time with it and notice any more pros/cons.

Description
The new Alienware Aurora is a mid-tower desktop with a MicroATX motherboard and is also our smallest dual-graphics capable desktop and has more tool-less features than any previous Alienware desktop such as: tool-less graphics, expansion cards, hard drives, and memory.
Absolutely great and well price based on current prices :), owned for about 2 weeks and runs perfect and any game i throw at it.
Great PC, especially for the price of around $1550. Only recommended upgrade is the Dell AIO liquid cooler. Otherwise you have to run the fans at nearly 100% to keep the CPU below 75C while under heavy loads...and that’s LOUD!!! With the AIO, the pc runs super quiet while keeping temps below 60C.
After doing a lot of research, I decided to buy this computer. It's a great machine, looks beautiful, has Dell support and was within my budget.
I bought it primarily for video games. I'm playing every modern game at max settings, and I'm using a 27" 1440p 144hz monitor. This rig is handling it all flawlessly. I can't believe the difference in my graphics since upgrading the computer and my screen. Would buy again..
Received this as an early Yule Gift. It is the first computer that I have ever purchased rather than built, since the 1980s.
The computer itself works flawlessly, has ample storage, and is very cool to look at. It has 2 glaring flaws which I will mention below.
The Good:
- Adequate power, even for modern (2018) gaming titles at 1440p.
- Large hard drive (2TB) is also fine for almost any purpose.
- Intel Optane module provides 'near' SSD speed once an application has been run a couple of times.
- Tower is very compact, definitely in the 'mid-tower' size catagory or even small tower?
- Lighting and 'bling' factor is high... looks unlike a typical 'black crystal box' PC tower.
The Bad!
- The air cooling system is woefully undersized and extraordinarily LOUD when the CPU is under heavy load. I build PCs on a 'several times a year' basis, and the level of noise and accompanying thermals are just horrible. I purchased a closed loop liquid cooler to quiet it down.
- The included power supply is only 460 watts! Though this is TECHNICALLY adequate, it leaves very little headroom for future upgrades or overclocking despite the 'overclocking' overtones of the setup.
Final Thoughts:
Realistically this is a very powerful console. Yes it's a Tower PC, but the case is tiny, the PSU is tiny, and the thermal headroom is non-existant until further upgrades are done to the system. By the time you purchase a good PSU, Case, and cooling solution, you could spec out an equivalent machine if you are a DIY person. For me it's a great living room gaming PC now that it doesn't scream like a jet taking off whenever you load a game!
I have to admit, I love this computer. I was going to build mine from the ground up but with the prices of the GPU's I had talked to some other gaming buddies and searched for weeks until I came across this one. The graphics are amazing , very quiet fans , I get great frame rates in all the new games. The only issue I have had with this PC is the Killer e2500 network card keeps dropping my internet. I have looked into forums and videos about this and it seems to be a pretty common thing with this network card. I have to disable it and the re-enable and things are good after that for days at a time. There is times where the network card would fail and try to connect wireless as well. I would definitely recommend this computer otherwise. BIG BANG for your BUCK. Also if you buy this PC make sure you buy a DVI-D to VGA adapter converter as well if your using older monitors.
