Features and Design

The new performance precedent

Alienware Area-51 gaming laptops are engineered for maximum power, packed with innovation, and encased in otherworldly design. By fusing an advanced thermal strategy, increasing airflow and elevating power with Intel^® Core™ Ultra HX processors and NVIDIA^® GeForce RTX™ 50 Series Laptop GPUs, we're bringing alien-class performance to the most passionate gamers.

Unapologetic power

Area-51 was intentionally designed to reach new performance horizons by enabling higher graphics and processor power limits. This Total Performance Power (TPP) can reach up to 240W in our Alienware 16 Area-51. With more power provided to the silicon components, gamers can run their games on the highest settings, making this our most powerful 16" gaming laptop yet.

• Up to 240W - Total Performance Power is the combined maximum of TGP and TDP, enhancing overall performance across all you do.
• Up to 175W - Total Graphics Power means higher GPU performance with more realistic gameplay.
• Up to 65W - CPU Thermal Design Power means full power devoted towards processing tasks in real-time.

NPU

Uses AI with compatible livestreaming software to remove your background thus offloading this performance demand from the CPU or GPU.

iGPU

Delivers graphics rendering capabilities and imagery editing power at home and on the go.

Supercharged data stream

Multitasking for Gamers and Creators

With two SO-DIMM slots designated for DDR5 system memory, Area-51 laptops can support up to 64GB of memory. This amount exceeds the needs of a majority of popular games but can assist gamers who create where multiple applications may need to be ran at the same time such as video editing, streaming, and playing large scale games simultaneously.

Storage that keeps up

Area-51 is the first Alienware laptop to support up to Gen 5 SSD storage which is capable of improving read speeds by up to 84% and write speeds by up to 75% over the average performance of various Gen 4 SSDs. Bringing you the latest in storage and performance to run games and work faster than ever before.

Introducing the Cryo-Chamber

Developed by our engineers, Area-51’s new Cryo-Chamber structure, located at the bottom of the laptop, focuses air to the core components where it matters the most. The Cryo-Chamber props up the laptop and introduces a much larger air intake, promoting increased airflow, and features a clear Gorilla Glass panel providing a view of the AlienFX fans. This structure, combined with more copper and bigger fans than ever before, enable a higher power ceiling, up to 240W TPP, without raising acoustics.

• Up to 15% - Quieter with engineered directional airflow
• Up to 35% - More air moving through the system
• Up to 32% - Bigger fans by volume

Performance Driven Thermals

Marathon gaming requires absolute power. Our advanced cooling technology, Alienware Cryo-tech™, is designed to maintain system stability even during the most demanding sessions.

Quad fans

Helps increase total airflow and pressurizes the chassis, keeping even the most aggressive hotspots properly cooled.

More copper, less heat

With up to 3x more copper in weight than previous 16" laptops and a vapor chamber 40% larger, Alienware 16 Area-51 dynamically balances heat across up to 7 heat pipes making it our most performance forward 16" laptop to date.

Element 31 thermal interface

Encapsulated gallium-silicone across the CPU, dissipates heat fast, allowing you to take on marathon gaming sessions with ease.
