Last week we reported that Dell introduced their latest gaming desktop computer, the Alienware Aurora R16. Now, the computer offering seems to have entered the local market with its own configuration.
As you know, the design of this desktop computer looks more traditional compared to the previous Aurora R15 computer. It still features some of their Legend Design designs, but now it's not so weird.
On the Dell Malaysia website, the specifications for the Alienware Aurora R16 computer have already been revealed, and it comes with some interesting configurations. First is the CPU offering consisting of Intel Core i7-13700F and also Intel Core i9-13900F with a speed of 5.2GHz for the i7 model and a Thermal Velocity Booth speed of 5.6GHz which is only shown through the Intel Core i9 chip series.
In terms of graphics card offerings, the Dell Malaysia website shows a selection of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics cards with 12GB of GDDR6 memory and also NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 with 16GB of GDDR6 memory.
For storage, you can get a combination of dual storage SSD and hard drive 512GB SSD and 1TB hard drive, 1TB SSD and 1TB hard drive, or 2TB SSD storage. As for memory, your options include DDR5 16GB, 32GB and even 64GB (dual-channel memory).
The final configuration option is seen through the CPU cooler offering and also the power supply. There are three options here, which are air CPU cooler and 500W power supply, liquid CPU cooler with 240mm radiator and 1000W power supply Platinum, and liquid CPU cooler with 240mm radiator and 1000W power supply Platinum with transparent side panel.
Our recommendation, regardless of the computer configuration chosen is to get a 1000W power supply, because even with an Intel Core i7 and NVIDIA RTX 4070 configuration, 500W is not enough.
In terms of delivery date, our initial search shows that Dell Malaysia will ship out the Alienware Aurora R16 computer on the 22nd of August. The Alienware Aurora R16 is offered at a starting price of RM10,599 for the Intel Core i7 CPU configuration, 16GB memory, 512GB SSD storage, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card and 500W power supply as the cheapest option configuration.
The most expensive configuration we can see consists of the Intel Core i9-13900F option, 64GB DDR5 memory, 2TB SSD storage, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card and 1000W power supply with liquid CPU cooler and transparent panel offered at a price of RM17,647.
