Just don't expect blazing-fast framerates at 4K for that price - the Aurora R13 gets as expensive as any other PC on this list if you fill it up with top-tier components. At nearly $3,000, our review unit is far from cheap, but it's powerful enough to play the latest and greatest games in 1080p for years to come. If you can afford it, Alienware will fill the Aurora R13 with top-of-the-line components that make it a top-tier gaming PC. But if your desk can accommodate it, the space-age design and customizable RGB lighting are sure to turn heads.

Since the computer weighs up to 35 pounds, it's a bit hefty to move around (watch those fins) or plop on a desk.

The redesigned chassis is easy to access, offers plenty of ports and has enough ventilation that even after gaming in 4K for hours, I noticed only a mild hum and a pleasant warmth emanating from the PC. And after spending a couple of weeks working, playing and mucking around with our review unit, we can tell you that the Aurora R13's new look is a winner. pricier PCsĪ judgment of the Aurora R13 is in large part a judgment of the new Legend 2.0 chassis, since so much of Alienware's business is based on building you a PC with the specific components you want.
