2020’s Dell Gaming Surge: Gaming Behemoths and Budget Winners
Alienware’s Heavy‑Hitter: The Area‑51m R2
When we talk about machine‑grade gaming, the Area‑51m R2 is the mass‑mounted titan. With a 17‑inch slab that could double as an extra‑old laptop, it packs a 10th‑gen Intel Core i9‑10980HK (10 cores, 20 threads, turbo to 5.3 GHz) and the Radeon RX GPU that can keep pace with any mid‑to‑high‑end desktop. It’s basically a gaming desktop that fits in your backpack.
Launch date: June 9 (prices waiting for the final green‑light).
Lights‑Speed Versions: The m15 R3 & m17 R3
For those who want a portable daredevil, the m15 R3 and m17 R3 are the slim siblings of the Area‑51m. They look almost the same as last year’s models, but underneath they’re powered by the Intel i9‑10980HK and optional NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super‑Max‑P GPUs. These machines can tackle any fresh‑out AAA title without throwing a tantrum.
Both models come with Alienware’s signature Cryo‑Tech cooling—a fancy way to say “no spicy overheating.” Launch: May 21 at $3,799 and $3,899 respectively.
The Aurora Rises Again: A Liquid‑Cool Fanatic’s Dream
The latest Alienware Aurora is the brand’s eleventh masterpiece. Think 11th‑gen style liquid cooling, a GeForce RTX 2080 Super that’s cooler and quieter than its cousins, and a 10th‑gen Intel Core i9‑10980HK with HyperX FURY XMP DDR4 memory. This rig is ready to give esports teams like Team Liquid a solid throne.
Available now, starting at $2,699.
Budget‑Friendly Deals: Dell G3 & G5
Entry‑level gamers rejoice! The Dell G3 and G5 keep the gaming experience high‑quality, but at prices that won’t crack the wallet. They use the latest 10th‑gen H‑series mobile CPUs and feature 144 Hz displays (the G5 can even upgrade to 300 Hz for buttery‑smooth action).
Both launch on May 21, with pricing details coming soon.
