Review Summary
Evolved, Inside and Out
The Alienware Aurora features a meticulous, zero-fat design and is the first of its kind to offer tool-less upgrades to graphics cards, hard drives and memory.
Designed to keep cool
Inspired by the thermal ergonomics of the Area-51, the Aurora provides optimal air intake on the front and right panels and an exhaust fan on top for maximum airflow and cooling of internal components.
Packed with power
The Aurora is Alienware's smallest mid tower gaming desktop ever to offer both dual-graphics and liquid cooling.
VR-Ready for Today and Beyond
Ready for VR, the new Aurora was engineered to exceed today's virtual reality requirements from HTC and Oculus and was designed to create the most efficient use of space. The top of the system provides a natural place to rest your VR headset when not in use and with a conveniently placed handle located near the top, you can organize all your wires in one place, running them to the back of the system and out of the way. With 15 USB ports, this system is more than ready to handle everything needed to attach your VR headset. And with convenient tool-less access, it offers easy upgradeability for the next wave of VR.
Engineered for the Future
Innovative, tool-less access
A uniquely designed PSU swing-arm keeps graphics and expansion cards safely secured, no tools necessary. The tool-less accessibility also makes it easy to reach memory modules and up to 5 storage drives.
Iconic & quiet design
Customizable AlienFX lighting gives the Aurora a distinct, dynamic look and its whisper-quiet operation allows you to get lost in the game without noisy distractions.
Uncompromising Performance
Stunning graphics capabilities
Tested and benchmarked at UHD 4K resolutions and beyond in games and synthetic benchmarks, the Aurora offers brilliant resolution and exceptional frame rates.
High-speed and hardcore
Maximize gaming performance and capacity with up to 5 solid-state drives using a mix of 1x PCIe SSD and 4x SSDs (SSD drives not included).
Killer Wireless
The Killer 1535 includes our ExtremeRange Technology with two external 5GHz signal amplifiers to improve your performance at longer distances. The External Power Amplifier and the Low Noise Amplifier work together to increase and maximize your Wi-Fi range and to amplify your wireless signals so they cut through the noise to deliver your data as quickly as possible. The Killer E2500's Lag and Latency Reduction Technology accelerates your highest priority network traffic, such as your game and makes sure that it never has to wait behind less important traffic.
Get Deeper Than Ever Before
Reengineered to support up to dual 300W graphics cards (600W total graphics power), the Alienware Aurora now features more dedicated graphics power than any previous model.
Ready to enable jaw
Dropping 12K gameplay with support from NVIDIA Surround Technology, the Aurora offers an intensely immersive experience that plunges you directly into the heart of the game. It's not what serious gamers want in a midtower desktop - it's what they demand.
