85.7% Alienware 16 Area-51 笔记本电脑评测:戴尔迄今为止最好的旗舰游戏笔记本电脑 | Notebookcheck
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。

90% I tested Alienware's new Area-51 RTX 5080 gaming laptop — and it's out of this world
Source: Tom's Guide English EN→zh-CN
There’s no denying that the Alienware 16 Area-51 is a fantastic gaming laptop that delivers uncompromising RTX 50-series performance. On top of that, it’s also a beautiful-looking machine with elegant curves and tasty RGB lighting. Yes, it’s heavy and expensive, but it’s also freakin’ awesome! If you want a gaming laptop offering comparable performance but with an OLED panel, the Legion Go 7i Pro or HP Omen Max 16 are great, if expensive, alternatives. But if you like what I have to say about Alienware’s gaming notebook and can stomach its price, then you won’t go wrong with this purchase. The Alienware 16 Area-51 comes with my highest recommendation.

80% Alienware 16 Area-51 review: performance from another planet
Source: T3 English EN→zh-CN
The Alienware 16 Area-51 is a sports car of a gaming laptop for gamers who want it all, with everything tweaked to maximum, and plenty of other things to fiddle with under the hood. For most people it's overkill that you won't need. But this otherworldly machine isn't about need, it's about want. And if you want the best-of-the-best in terms of power then it's an epic machine... if you can afford one, anyway.

90% The Alienware 16 Area-51 is one of the cheapest RTX 5080 gaming laptops — and it’s near-perfect
Source: Laptop Mag English EN→zh-CN
The Alienware 16 Area-51 is a near-perfect gaming laptop, boasting incredible performance, a bright 16-inch display, a great keyboard, strong speakers, and a beautiful design. But its display can’t beat OLED, and we’ve seen much better battery life numbers elsewhere. A gaming laptop that supports both an OLED panel and significantly better battery life is the Razer Blade 16, although you’ll need to pay about $1,000 more to get it. I’ll pray to Cthulhu for an OLED variant of the Alienware 16 Area-51 in the future, although right now, this gaming laptop is easily one of the best we’ve seen this year, and its price point makes it all the more compelling.
