Alienware 16 Area-51

70% Test Alienware Area-51 16 pouces : un lourd parti pris… dans tous les sens du terme
Source: Clubic
L’Alienware est un PC portable gaming qui ne laissera personne indifférent. Surpuissant, plus que bien d’autres modèles concurrents, le nouveau né du constructeur américain surprend par son look effrontément atypique et par les partis pris (parfois difficiles à avaler) qu’il implique. Nous en retenons une machine bien équilibrée, qui veut indéniablement bien faire… et qui nous en donne pour notre argent. Nous aurions néanmoins appréciés que la filiale de Dell aille plus loin sur l’affichage, et qu’elle se raisonne sur le poids total de ce nouveau produit, décidément beaucoup trop lourd pour un 16 pouces. Son principal défaut selon nous.

Alienware 16 & 18 Area-51 Laptops Reviewed: Benchmark-Crushing Gaming Beasts
Source: Hot Hardware EN→FR
If you are even casually interested in PC gaming, you know about Alienware. You probably know that it's a brand that represents some of the fastest hardware out there, and yes, there's a price premium, but historically, you could rest assured that you were getting one of the fastest gaming PCs in the world. On the other hand, that aspect of the brand also was tarnished in years past, as some reviews found that some Alienware systems had certain design flaws that limited their potential. In other words, these new Alienware laptops are as close to flawless as we've seen in a gaming laptop in a long time. We do wish the 16-inch machine had an integrated Ethernet port, but that's easy enough to work around with a Thunderbolt docking station or even just a USB Ethernet adapter.If you are even casually interested in PC gaming, you know about Alienware.

86% Alienware 16 Area-51 review: A fully retooled gaming mothership
Source: Engadget EN→FR
Even though the Alienware 16 Area-51 might not be as portable as some of its rivals, it's got a lot to offer. There’s a striking design, a nice screen (though more options would be nice), tons of ports and class-leading performance with plenty of configurability so you can dial in its specs exactly how you like. Granted, Alienware's attention-grabbing space-age aesthetics might not be for folks who aren't ready to be beamed up to the mothership. But aside from its short battery life and high price for well-equipped models, this system delivers pretty much everything you want from a flagship gaming laptop.

86% Alienware 16 Area-51 Review: Part Desktop, Part Laptop and a Whole Lotta Lights
Source: CNet EN→FR
Generally speaking, the Alienware 16 Area-51 is an excellent 16-inch gaming laptop. Due to its size and weight, it's much more of a desktop replacement than something you'll want to travel with regularly. The display is a bit of a weak spot, and the option to swap it for an OLED would be nice, but it's not a deal-breaker. Plus, its port assortment makes it easy to connect up to an external display and more. Its desktop-like processor performance is truly impressive; its GPU is less so, but it is still plenty powerful for a gaming laptop, and there is the option to pay for a faster 5090 chip. I also appreciate the lights and styling, and the option to upgrade storage and RAM. Again, you might be paying a premium, but it's a fair value for what's on offer.

The Alienware 16 Area-51 is a great pick for someone looking to game primarily on a laptop and still have some semblance of portability. It lacks an OLED panel, which is its biggest miss, and performance is a touch slower than some we've seen. But it more than makes up for these with a price tag lower than others offering the same level of quality.

80% Alienware 16 Area-51 Review: If Only the Display Was as Fantastic as the Mechanical Keyboard
Source: Gizmodo EN→FR
The new Area-51 laptop feels like Alienware in a way that its most recent gaming PCs like its mammoth Area-51 desktop have not. The gaming laptop is extra: extra glowy, extra clicky, and all too over the top. The bottom panel sports a massive window where you can peer directly at the fan components. The only way you’d catch a glimpse of the rotating fans and the tint of RGB is if you lift up your laptop as if you were looking for a quarter that rolled under your dresser. The Razer Blade 18 has a similar portal on its undercarriage. As pointless as that is on either laptop, for the ever-extra Dell-owned Alienware, it seems more on point.

80% Alienware 16 Area-51 Review: This Gaming Laptop Is a True Heavyweight Contender
Source: PC Mag EN→FR
The Alienware 16 Area-51 earns its place as a premium gaming laptop in every sense. Our testing proved it has the style, build quality, performance, and indeed the price to justify this classification. It errs on the more understated side of flashy design while retaining a unique look and thoughtful build. This laptop's performance aligns with other top-end machines, even outperforming some better-equipped laptops, ensuring a smooth gaming experience at high resolution. Its high cost is a barrier to entry for many shoppers, but beyond that, the laptop's battery life is its only major pitfall. We don’t recommend the Alienware 16 Area-51 if you plan to use it on the go and off the charger often, but it excels as a desktop-replacement gaming rig.

The Alienware 16 Area-51 stands out with an eye-catching design that sets a tough standard for competitors. Underneath, it delivers impressive gaming performance, an excellent keyboard, and capable speakers. While the 240Hz display offers fast refresh rates, the overall image quality doesn’t quite live up to expectations, and battery life during non-gaming use is lackluster.

97% Alienware 16 Area-51 review: Performance from another planet
Source: PC World EN→FR
The Alienware 16 Area-51 is an amazing 16-inch gaming laptop. Yes, it’s a good amount of money — but it’s competitively priced with other high-end gaming laptops with similar hardware, and you also get an amazing package. I love having a mechanical keyboard in a laptop. If you’re looking for a capable PC with the latest high-end hardware and this fits your budget, you’ll be happy with this machine. It’s excellent. But not everything is for everyone! Be sure to consider what type of display you want — if you want an OLED screen, the HP Omen Max 16 may be a better pick. That greenish “Liquid Teal” may give some people pause, too — I like the look, but I imagine it’s not everyone’s style. It’d be nice if Dell offered multiple color options for this laptop.
