My 5090 Area-51 just came in. This thing is a beast- both in how powerful it is, and how large and heavy it is! Holy this thing is a monster. I’ve only been able to test a couple games so far but compared to my r15 4090 it just seems better across the board in terms of raw power and performance (and size and weight!)

So happy that Alienware has switched to this new ATX desktop and allowed people like me who previously built their own PCs to feel safe buying a beautiful monster desktop like this and not be worried about future upgrades. Ended up with the 5090 - 2tb Gen4 SSD - 64GB version, and even though I was hesitant on the 285k Intel chip it hasn't affected me in any way while gaming in 4k. Absolutely stellar PC that I'm thrilled to own (the sick RGB and alien head AIO don't hurt either 👽 )

Huge shout-out to the Alienware team for this awesome desktop and for helping me get my hands on a First Contact Kit. Absolutely love the huge mousepad especially! If anyone is on the fence about buying one, happy to answer any questions or benchmark things. I would definitely recommend.
