Reviews for the Alienware 16 Area-51
戴尔今年将从头开始刷新其 Alienware 产品线,采用新的 Arrow Lake CPU、新的 Blackwell GPU 和新的 AW30 设计语言。Area-51 的外观和手感都比之前的产品更好,但它仍然表现出许多与 Alienware 相同的优点和缺点。

The new Area-51 laptop feels like Alienware in a way that its most recent gaming PCs like its mammoth Area-51 desktop have not. The gaming laptop is extra: extra glowy, extra clicky, and all too over the top. The bottom panel sports a massive window where you can peer directly at the fan components. The only way you’d catch a glimpse of the rotating fans and the tint of RGB is if you lift up your laptop as if you were looking for a quarter that rolled under your dresser. The Razer Blade 18 has a similar portal on its undercarriage. As pointless as that is on either laptop, for the ever-extra Dell-owned Alienware, it seems more on point.

In this video we check out which 16" gaming laptop is right for you between the Razer Blade 16 and Alienware Area-51 16" Sadly we could not get the exact specs between them so the Blade has a RTX 5090 and the Alienware a 5080.

The Alienware 16 Area-51 earns its place as a premium gaming laptop in every sense. Our testing proved it has the style, build quality, performance, and indeed the price to justify this classification. It errs on the more understated side of flashy design while retaining a unique look and thoughtful build. This laptop's performance aligns with other top-end machines, even outperforming some better-equipped laptops, ensuring a smooth gaming experience at high resolution. Its high cost is a barrier to entry for many shoppers, but beyond that, the laptop's battery life is its only major pitfall. We don’t recommend the Alienware 16 Area-51 if you plan to use it on the go and off the charger often, but it excels as a desktop-replacement gaming rig.

The Alienware 16 Area-51 stands out with an eye-catching design that sets a tough standard for competitors. Underneath, it delivers impressive gaming performance, an excellent keyboard, and capable speakers. While the 240Hz display offers fast refresh rates, the overall image quality doesn’t quite live up to expectations, and battery life during non-gaming use is lackluster.

The Alienware 16 Area-51 is an amazing 16-inch gaming laptop. Yes, it’s a good amount of money — but it’s competitively priced with other high-end gaming laptops with similar hardware, and you also get an amazing package. I love having a mechanical keyboard in a laptop. If you’re looking for a capable PC with the latest high-end hardware and this fits your budget, you’ll be happy with this machine. It’s excellent. But not everything is for everyone! Be sure to consider what type of display you want — if you want an OLED screen, the HP Omen Max 16 may be a better pick. That greenish “Liquid Teal” may give some people pause, too — I like the look, but I imagine it’s not everyone’s style. It’d be nice if Dell offered multiple color options for this laptop.
