Dell just brought the Alienware Aurora 16X to Nepal. It is now certainly a gaming laptop with high-end specs, but it's not the absolute top-tier model; however, it still packs a lot of stuff for what you are paying here. Now, let's dive into the article.
Dell Alienware Aurora 16X Overview
Design and display
Pick up the 16X Aurora, the first thing you will feel is the heft of the device as it weighs 2.7 kg, and immediately you will sense an anodized aluminum lid and bottom cover. Opening up the lid, the area around the keyboard is going to be matte plastic, but it will pick up fingerprints more than you'd like.
The color here is called Interstellar Indigo, which is an unsaturated dark blue that changes between black and dark blue depending on the light. It's not flashy, and there's no RGB lighting on the lid, just an etched Alienware logo that reflects colors. The keyboard does have RGB backlighting, but that's about it.
The display is a 16-inch QHD+ (2560 x 1600) IPS panel with a 240Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time. The 16X Aurora is notable for its 240Hz IPS display with P3 colors. Colors in the device will also now appear stronger and more contrasted than on older Alienware laptops, even though there's no HDR support. And finally, you are getting a decent but not-so-bright display.

Performance
The Aurora 16X sits in the middle of Dell's gaming laptop lineup. It's got an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor, which is one of Intel's latest Arrow Lake chips with 24 cores (8 performance, 16 efficiency) that can boost up to 5.4GHz. The chip performs close to the older Core i9-14900HX. And it can easily handle stuff like gaming and video editing, and most things you can do in your professional work.
You're getting 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 2TB of NVMe SSD storage. Similarly, the graphics card is an NVIDIA RTX 5070 with 8GB GDDR7 VRAM. It's a very good mid-range GPU. Although the graphics card doesn't really have the highest wattage one could find in competing laptops, it still runs at 115W, and I think it's decent enough for 1080p, 1440p, or so. The 16X does well with the CPU side of things. It pulls a lot out of the HX-series chip without throttling, which is good. It ships with Windows 11 and Dell's usual stuff, SupportAssist and Alienware Command Center for messing with performance modes and RGB settings.
Camera
The webcam is FHD 1080p with IR support, but it comes with no privacy shutter. It's better than the 720p ones on cheaper laptops, and the dual-array mics work fine for calls. There's also Windows Studio Effects since the chip has an NPU.
Battery and everything else
The Aurora has an 86Wh battery. While it will definitely give you some 8 hours of basic light tasks, gaming, however, is guaranteed to drain it way faster. Plus, the battery gets its juice from a bulky 280W power adapter.
You get two USB-C ports (one Thunderbolt 4), three USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1, Ethernet, a headphone jack, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.3. The keyboard has 1.4mm travel and a numpad on the right and the speakers are stereo with Dolby Atmos.
