Alienware is giving its flagship gaming PC a major overhaul, flipping everything you know about the company’s desktops on its head.
Alienware’s flagship gaming desktop is getting a serious makeover. The new Aurora R16, which is available to purchase now, ditches the angular, obtuse design of Alienware’s previous models in favor of a design that feels familiar yet — if you’ll excuse the pun — alien.
That’s clear by looking at an image of the redesigned Aurora R16 above. It’s a mid-tower box, much unlike a machine like the Aurora R15, with its massive footprint and large plastic covering that makes it feel much larger than it actually is. the Aurora R16 fits in much better now with the standard crop of gaming desktops, though it still has some unique design choices.
Overall, the case is around 40% smaller than the previous design, according to Alienware, but it maintains the same 25.2-liter volume. Alienware says it has further improved airflow, too, offering a 20% quieter system on average with up to 10% lower CPU and 6% lower GPU temperatures.
