Great PC so fast good price when bought during holiday sale
Plug n play , had it up and running within 15 minutes ( and that was mainly the software upgrades ) which were actually fast .I donât play hardcore games just WOW and path of exile type games and this is perfect .Been using a laptop for awhile so was time to jump back into a PC . Iâve had it a week and it then so smoothe and quiet .I havenât really customized it too much yet , but because it was on sale , and I have a Amazon card I figured Iâd just buy a pre built because itâs affordable this way only like $200 a month .For anyone that a mid tier gamer and doesnât mess with building pc , this is the way to go , Iâd sit for blsck Friday tho !!!! Cheers

Possible motherboard issue
Computer worked fine on first day I got it. Downloaded all my actively played Steam games the next morning, put it in sleep mode, went to work and came back home to a computer with lights flashing on the Alien power button. Looked online how to diagnose it and came down to a possible motherboard issue via online responses. I was getting 3 amber flashes following 5 white light flashes. Decided to return it since a brand new computer shouldn’t have this issue.

The Ultra 9 Alienware is a stable, strong, and worth the money, period.
What can I say, that has not already been said. The Alienware Aurora with Ultra 9 285 isnât just a desktopâitâs a declaration. A declaration that power, precision, and purpose can coexist in one machine. If Tomâs Hardware wants to know what peak performance looks like, they should pull up a chair and take notes.The Ultra 9 285 is a silicon symphony conductor. Multithreaded tasks? Crushed. Real-time rendering? Effortless. AI model training? Like slicing butter with a lightsaber. Whether Iâm running compliance simulations, credentialing audits, or neurophysiological modeling, this rig doesnât flinch. Itâs not just fastâitâs strategically fast, allocating resources with surgical precision.

Reliable, stable, and FAST
Alienware delivers excellence again. Might as well call it James Bond: smoother than butter, stays cool under pressure, and gets the job done in style.

Happy
Iâm really happy with this purchase.Let me just give the tldr for those who want to move on quickly. I purchased the Ultra 9 RTX 5080 version for $2399 when it was on sale. I was extremely nervous because the only reviews at the time were Amazon Vine Reviews.When I received it, I had to install MS home and immediately HWINFOâd it. Everything was exactly as advertised. Bonus! Wifi 7 and bluetooth 5.3 (LMP 13.16777).I really couldnât find any bloatware other than what Microsoft installs. There are things Dell installs like their usual Support Assist but I donât really consider that bloatware.This unit is insanely quiet and installing my 16TB HDD, 4tb nvme took less than 5 minutes. You can search Youtube for Alienware Aurora ACT1250 on how to do this.My only complaint is that even though it said it was shipped and sold by Amazon, I received it from USPS in the end so I had to take the day off now knowing when it will arrive.

Superb quiet powerful package.
Quite pleased with this computer. The Ultra 7 265 KF is an Ultra 7 265K without onboard video. I have always wanted that. The system is amazingly quiet and the temperature is great too. 32GB seems to be a wise choice as well. Not much needs to be said about the 5070. Initial setup with this machine included updates during setup from Microsoft, which is common. The initial Windows Update included numerous Firmware / Bios updates. Normal reboot, etc to install the updates and then it flashed Bios, and about a dozen other pieces of hardware like motherboard components…it was really quite impressive. There is also Dell Support Assist application to find and update a few other drivers, etc. Overall went really smooth and I can’t get over how sweet the Firmware/Bios updates went all at once. This machine replaces my old Alienware Aurora R7 I7-8700 with GTX 1080. The smooth quiet powerful operation of this new Alienware Aurora R16 Ultra 7 265KF RTX 5070 really exceeds my expectation.

I recently got this PC and I have to sayâitâs an awesome, solid machine. The build quality feels premium and it runs super smooth no matter what I throw at it. Even under heavy load it stays impressively quiet, which is a huge plus. Performance is blazing fast, apps and games load instantly, and multitasking is effortless. Definitely one of the best systems Iâve ownedâfastttt, reliable, and rock solid

NOT Core Ultra 9. Itâs a core ultra 7 non k. Air cooled NOT water cooled. 1 TB SSD not the 2TB advertised. Attached is the true specs
