Alienware Area-51 7500 featuring Quad-Core and 8800 SLI

Alienware's mothership PC lands in our labs featuring the latest technology from Intel and nVidia.

As beautifully packaged and presented a PC as you would expect from Alienware but busting with bleeding edge kit. The quad-core CPU is a little ahead of its time, and a higher clocked dual-core processor will be faster right now, but the four cores...

Alienware Area-51 Desktop Review: Alienware Style Without Proprietary Parts

It has heaps of performance in a hulking case, but the Area-51 is smartly put together, avoids proprietary parts and doesn't overdo it on the prebuilt premiums.

Alienware Alienware Area-51 7500

The impressive Alienware Area-51 7500 delivers strong performance and excellent features. At $6007 (as of July 11, 2007), it's the most expensive quad-core model we've tested thus far. You get a lot for your money, though. Our review system carried 2GB...

Alienware Area-51 7500

Alienware's latest iteration of its popular Area-51 gaming PC, the Area-51 7500 ($5,589 direct), gets a performance boost courtesy of an overclocked quad-core processor. Though its nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX graphics subsystem is no slouch, it can't...

Intel quad-core processor overclocked to 3.46 GHz. Fast, 10,000-rpm drives. Liquid-cooled CPU

Noisy. Expensive, considering monitor and speakers are not included. Performance with a single graphics card isn't quite as good as quad-core systems with a dual-graphics card setup

Powered by an overclocked Intel quad-core Core 2 Extreme processor and an nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX graphics card, the Alienware Area-51 7500 is one fast, albeit noisy, desktop PC with a customizable lighting system and a hefty price tag.

Alienware 16 Area-51 laptop review: Dell's best flagship gaming laptop yet

Dell is refreshing its Alienware lineup this year from the ground up with new Arrow Lake CPUs, new Blackwell GPUs, and a new AW30 design language. The Area-51 looks and feels better than what came before it, but it still exhibits a lot of the same...

240 Hz display pairs well with the RTX 5080;comfortable low-profile CherryMX keys;new design feels strong and dense;supports up to three M.2 SSDs;full-size SD card reader

175 W GPU performance is locked behind maximum fan mode;very power demanding;short battery life;no OLED options;large and heavy

The Area-51 may look new and fancy, but it doubles down on the same principles that defined previous generation Alienware laptops: maximum performance at the cost of heavier weight and a larger size. This is one of the few 16-inch gaming laptops where...

Alienware Area-51 7500 System

Despite continuing to operate separately (you won't find an Alienware on Dell's website, and vice versa), many gamers wondered if Alienware had 'sold-out' its roots, fearing they'd lose their personal touch and become an ordinary OEM vendor. But is...
