Alienware proudly presents the next evolution of excellence through the Alienware Aurora R16 desktop. Building upon its legacy of pushing the boundaries of gaming technology, Alienware introduces a reimagined Aurora R16 that brings enhancements in acoustics, thermal management, and a space-saving design.
The Aurora R16 showcases remarkable advancements, including optimized airflow that results in a quieter system with lower CPU and GPU temperatures. Its space-saving design achieves a substantial reduction in total volume while maintaining internal volume consistency. This innovative approach aligns with the introduction of the Legend 3 design language, making its debut in the desktop form.
The focus on minimalism and efficiency is evident in the Aurora R16’s design philosophy. With enhanced airflow efficiency, the desktop ensures a quieter and cooler system while delivering top-tier performance. The Future Minimal design ethos is seamlessly integrated, resulting in a streamlined aesthetic that prioritizes user needs.
Central to the Aurora R16’s design is the captivating Stadium loop, an oval lighting loop on the left side of the chassis. This loop not only enhances aesthetics but also contributes to improved airflow efficiency by tracing the perimeter of the primary vent. The Stadium loop pays homage to Alienware’s design heritage, capturing attention and reflecting a legacy of innovation.
The introduction of the Stadium loop and a clear side panel shifts the focus to the side of the Aurora R16. This shift in perspective drives a design that emphasizes simplicity, reduces overall volume, and optimizes airflow through the front intake. The desktop experience is further enhanced by larger side and top vents and enhanced internal cable management.
The Aurora R16 redefines performance standards, surpassing its predecessor’s benchmarks while maintaining a significantly more compact design. With diverse configuration options, the Aurora R16 appeals to a broader range of gamers, offering an enticing upgrade and an entry into the esteemed Aurora experience.
Under the hood, the Aurora R16 boasts powerful components, including NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 40 Series GPUs, 12th and 13th Gen Intel® Core™ desktop processors, Wi-Fi 6 (or 6E) and 2.5Gbps Ethernet, and impressive memory and storage options. Alienware’s commitment to excellence continues, as new GPUs and CPUs are gradually introduced, making the R16 the most powerful desktop in Alienware’s lineup.
Accompanying the Aurora R16 is the cutting-edge Alienware Command Center 6.0, offering a centralized dashboard for swift access to game-specific profiles, lighting customization, macros, and more. This system provides a cohesive and personalized gaming experience across the entire Alienware ecosystem.
The legacy of the Aurora series is upheld as the Aurora R16 carries forward the heritage of innovation. It embraces environmental responsibility with a notable percentage of post-consumer recycled plastics and recycled steel in its chassis. Packaging materials are also composed of recycled or renewable content, contributing to a more sustainable future.
The Aurora R16 is available starting at USD$1749.99 from Dell.com with a 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 13700F and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4070 graphics.
