The name “Alienware” is apt for this gaming laptop, because what you’re looking at here is a total badass, a beast in performance and it could easily be out top 3, but we will not be tempted to take that road, seductive as it might seem. The Alienware Area 51M is a gamer’s paradise. It comes with the very powerful Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 graphic chip and a desktop-class Intel Core i9. However, these features don’t come cheaply.
This laptop is a big boy, coming in with a 17inch screen and then a thickness of 1.2 inches it also weighs a whopping 9 pounds, this guy will hurt your back. It has the very beloved and overclockable Core i9-9900K CPU from Intel. Now, this happens to be the desktop-grade, and together with the graphics chip, they are like some of the best performing computer components in the world at the moment. Now imagine these two features in one laptop, there’s not much to be asked for.
This heavy performer will need a lot of air, especially because you have these premium heat-producing components trapped in a slim compartment as opposed to the computer casing of a desktop. The Alien ware manufacturers created a solution for this. They made air inlets and outlets, and then there are two fans who are tasked with the important duties of air cooling and circulation. What this gives you is a computer that can go on and on in performance.
Our Opinion
This is not a very mobile laptop, but for performance on a laptop it is excellent, it’s worth its weight in gold and some.
