Buy R15
The Alienware Aurora R15 is a machine you can configure in virtually any way you want. The base configuration starts with an Intel Core i5-13400F and RTX 3050 for $1,650, but you can go much further; up to 64GB of DDR5 memory, 6TB of storage, and a Intel Core i9-13900KF or AMD Ryzen 9 7950X.

The RTX 4090 is by far the most powerful graphics card you can buy, and it shines in the Aurora R15. In some cases, the Aurora R15 even beat a custom RTX 4090 desktop with an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, as evidenced by Red Dead Redemption 2.
In Gears Tactics, I saw vastly lower performance, likely due to the thermal limits Alienware has set on the processor. Forza Horizon 5 showed slower performance, too, though this game typically favors AMD processors.
The upgraded cooler is a huge jump for the machine, offering cooler and quieter performance than even many custom-built gaming PCs. Building your own or going with a desktop like the MSI Aegis RS offers more paths for upgradability, but the Aurora R15 still has a place for a set of gamers who want a gaming PC that does exactly what it advertises.
Nvidia is "unlaunching" the 12GB RTX 4080. The company announced its plans through a blog post, and shared the following comment with Digital Trends: "We are unlaunching the RTX 4080 12GB. Having two GPUs with the 4080 designation is confusing. You will not see it on Nov. 16."
The RTX 4080 was originally announced in 12GB and 16GB variants, which caused a lot of community backlash. With fewer cores and less power, the 12GB model felt more like a rebranded RTX 4070. Nvidia seems to agree now, but it hasn't said whether or not it will rebrand this model as the RTX 4070. The company also hasn't said if it will adjust the list price of $900.
The RTX 4090 is the best graphics card you can buy right now -- just read our RTX 4090 review. And unfortunately, that means it's very popular. Across retailers, most (if not all at this point) RTX 4090 models are sold out.
Alienware is unveiling a bevy of gaming-centered devices that are sure to please quite a few PC gamers out there. The Aurora R15 is a powerful gaming desktop that includes Nvidia's new 40-series GPUs and 13th-gen Intel Raptor Lake chips, while the AW420K is a tenkeyless (TKL) gaming keyboard for those who prize desk space.
Let's start with the updated Aurora R15, a fully updated desktop for those who prefer a prebuilt gaming machine. Dell says the Aurora R15 has a new thermal strategy by means of new technology and a redesigned motherboard. In fact, Dell claims it has 19% increased airflow while remaining 66% quieter in CPU-intensive tasks and 9% quieter in GPU-intensive tasks.
