Alienware 16 Aurora review: Budget specs at a mid-tier price
Source: PC World
EN→zh-CN
The Alienware 16 Aurora doesn’t impress, which is a shame because I reviewed it alongside the Alienware 16X Aurora, and that laptop did impress with the value it delivered. The core problem here is the price — $1,499 is just too high for an experience like this one. It’s a budget experience at a mid-tier price. If this machine had a faster CPU or a more impressive display — ideally both — it would be easy to recommend. For now, you’re probably better off looking somewhere else for a budget gaming laptop — unless Dell is having a big sale on this model. I would recommend you look at the Alienware 16X Aurora if you’re looking for an Alienware laptop, however — that’s much better value for money. Or, if you’re looking for a budget gaming laptop, check out PCWorld’s best gaming laptops list for better values.

Alienware 16X Aurora 评测：兼顾高端制造与中端 GPU | Notebookcheck
与 Alienware Area-51 这台庞然大物不同，Alienware 16X Aurora 减少了大量 RGB 功能和花哨的大猩猩玻璃，是一款更经济实惠、更精简的游戏机。尽管如此，我们还是觉得 240 Hz 显示屏和 Core Ultra 9 CPU 比GeForce RTX 5070 GPU 更令人印象深刻。

Alienware Aurora 16X Gaming Laptop Review: Finally, an Alienware Laptop that Looks Normal
Source: Life Hacker EN→zh-CN
There are other nice touches sprinkled throughout the 16X hardware/software offerings, including a sharp 1080p webcam, a nice selection of ports (two USB-Cs including one Thunderbolt 4, two USB-As, combo audio, HMDI 2.1 and Ethernet; sadly, a Micro-SD slot is absent) and a Stealth Mode setting that slashes hardware performance to eliminate virtually all fan noise. The entire package presents as a near-ideal mid-tier laptop. It's a delight to use, offers excellent performance and a reasonable display, and comes in with a fair price at two grand (down to $1,800 at time of writing). That's an excellent value for what's on offer given how well it's executed, especially because you can get less powerful configurations than the one I tested starting at $1,560 (down to $1,450 at time of writing), and if you want to step down even further you can get the Alienware Aurora 16 (without the X) starting for $1,500 (down to $1,300 at time of writing).

Alienware 16X Aurora review: Out of this world value
Source: PC World EN→zh-CN
The Alienware 16X Aurora is an impressive machine. At $1,999 for an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, an RTX 5070, and a display of this caliber, it’s serious value compared to what you’d pay for competing laptops with similar hardware — at retail price, it undercuts many similar laptops by a few hundred bucks. It’s a great experience, but some people might want a faster GPU for better gaming performance, an OLED panel, or a higher-end all-metal build quality. You’ll pay extra for touches like that, though. This is a mid-range laptop that delivers value and doesn’t feel like a budget machine. That’s very impressive coming from a brand like Alienware that’s historically been more high-end, especially with prices climbing all around.
