- You never know, with a dell desktop, what you're gonna get. Sometimes, they're just incredible. You can upgrade them as much as you want and as they become cheaper, they're the sort of
thing that you look for on the side of the road
or at an office auction or something like that. So you can just huck a
GPU in it and awesome you're off to the races. Other times, you can do almost nothing and you pay a premium. I don't know where this is going to land, but hopefully it's in the former. So this is the Alienware Aurora R10 and lets get into it! I wonder if we got a mouse and keyboard. I was looking at the configurator, and they are a zero
dollar option to add on. Looks like it, excellent! Up top here we have a mouse, which looks like it was
supposed to stay in there but did not. Power cord and we have a keyboard. Low profile RGB mechanical
gaming keyboard. Cherry red oh wow! That's pretty sick for
a zero dollar option. I actually like those a fair bit if I'm honest. They feel kind of like a just really long travel laptop keyboard. Huh. Well, I don't think that
a lot of people that get this will be mad about
this keyboard at all. I don't know how I feel about
the design if I'm honest. It's like a Dyson fan. Or like a ramjet or kind of Portal-ie - Hey Hey Hey! - It's not going to offend anyone. Even if it might not be
quite your cup of tea. Also, these peels are fantastic! You can see here that they
have a bunch of cutouts. If someone doesn't take it off, they don't just choke their PC out. (crinkling) Is that how you do it? I totally don't get ASMR, so I have no clue what sets people off. I don't know if you pay
a premium over getting a normal desktop for the Alienware one, but I would certainly
pay a bit of a premium just for all of these peels here. Wow. All right so I guess
now we can start it up. After our sponsor PIA With PIA you can browse

than what we asked for. So here we actually have
an AMD Ryzen 9 3950x. So that's sixteen cores. Pretty much the best
processor that you can get that's y'know, for consumers and not for workstations. We also have sixty-four gigabytes of RAM. It is a 2666 so it would
be nice to have a slightly higher speed instead
of that much capacity. Like if you're looking for gaming, you might want to go for
like thirty-two gigabytes at a higher speed than sixty-four but- Oh! Whatever, it's
sixty-four gigabytes of RAM. That's pretty sick. You also have a two
terabyte Samsung NVMe SSD, and to top it all off we have a Geforce RTX 2080 Ti so she's powerful! She's a real powerful one! If the cooling system
can handle this computer, you know that any other
spec she's gonna be fine. Let's take a little look at the IO here. So on the front we have USB
type C along with three USBs and headphone-microphone so
that's pretty sick actually. On the back we have optical
audio and what I think is a subwoofer out so that's pretty cool. We also have ten USB type A ports and another type C back here. Along with an ethernet port and three display ports, HDMI, and the VR out USB type C thing. Oh yeah, there's also
audio out for the like five point stereo thing. Does anyone actually use those? Anyways, we are getting
amazing network speeds. Even for, that's a gigabit. A hundred and thirteen
megabytes per second down. That's pretty sick. Hilariously enough here, our internet is good enough
that its CPU bound on how fast your downloads go. So having the, y'know, good ol' 3950x, which is actually at
like twenty-five percent utilization or like forty, just downloading Doom. It's pretty sick that we can actually take advantage of that. All right so let's see how
it does for the CPU tab. Running the good ol' 7Zip benchmark here. We're only seeing up to seventy. That's pretty good. This thing is liquid-cooled
although liquid coolers aren't always your best friend. This one seems to be though. Maximum of seventy-six
degrees and it looks like its leveling off closer to seventy. I'm impressed I have to say. I was kind of expecting this
to be a bit of a hot boy. All right that's enough of that. Onto Doom! As an absolute shocker to no one, an RTX 2080Ti plays games good. Where the heck do I go? Why do I need to start on platforming? This is just the absolute worst. So yeah this is pretty frickin' sick. We're looking at a pretty
solid hundred-eighty FPS on ultra nightmare 1440p. Really no complaints whatsoever. I don't think we're learning
anything super valuable from finding out that
this gaming system that is basically the absolute
best that you can get is really good. GPU got up to a maximum
of eighty-one degrees. Okay so it's not going to be super happy. Although I guess what can you really do? It looks like its taking
in air from right here. I think it's a very standard
cooler that we have on there so its kind of about what
you get on a 2080Ti. This looks like a desktop
that has pretty good cooling, but I guess we'll find out soon enough. The real test, though, comes
when we get inside of it. Are you actually going to be
able to upgrade this thing like a normal PC or are
you kind of just stuck with what Dell gave you? So you just take out one
screw here, pull on that, and it looks like it gives you access to- okay what is that? (laughter) This is a very
less-than-conventional layout. I guess it doesn't really
matter for the thermals because air is coming in
here and shooting out there. Anything for the GPU would be
coming in the vent that was right here and out. As for the CPU, it looks like
it would probably drawing in here and a bit up here and then there's a
radiator around this area So you just push these two little tabs up and all of this moves away. Cage for a hard drive here, cage for a hard drive there or I guess SSDs if you so please. We also have a hard drive
bay up here at the front. We also have only one
eight-pin CPU connector. So you're not gonna be able
to overclock this chip like you could with like a five
hundred dollar motherboard. As for the cooling, we have
just pretty standard looking AIO with an Alienware logo on it here. And it goes up to a one twenty millimeter radiator in the top. It looks like it has kind of like a delta server fan of sorts. Then in here we have another PCIe only an 8x slot and two fours. Probably want a couple
16x-ers but at the same time SLI is dead what else
are you going to need all that power for? You can still put like a ten gig card or whatever in here if you want. My impression of the inside
overall are quite good though. As someone who has upgraded
Dells in the past that were really poorly designed for upgrading, this looks like you'll have a much easier time going about it. It still isn't quite the
same as if you built your own computer but at the same time
if you only want a pre-built now at least you have the option
to upgrade it in the future instead of just finding
out you're screwed. Does it say what the wattage is of the power supply anywhere? I'm pretty sure that we got
the thousand watt model. It was manufactured on
November sixth of 2019, I can tell you that but I can't
tell you much else based off of what's on it. This guy right here as
spec'd comes in at just over four thousand dollars. Which honestly seems pretty
reasonable given how OP it is Although now we get to find out if that actually makes sense
compared to buying your own desktop or like building your own desktop. We did at the PC part picker
here and it looks like the total is 3579 dollars. You're definitely paying
a premium for this guy, but its not all that bad really. Especially when you consider
that you're also getting like a pretty good keyboard and a mouse. So that closes the gap to only what like two or three hundred dollars? And for that you get a
warranty, its assembled, it just shows up at your door. Me personally? I would build the PC
because I like doing that. For you its kind of up to
you this is like quite a compelling machine there's
no real complaints here. Good job Alienware! Just that. Hope you guys have a good day! See ya later! Get subscribed, like it. Anthony wants to do a video. Goodbye.
Good, that's a first step, now put Ryzen in the XPS line and then I'll open my wallet
Dat ddr4 2666 ram....it’s like dell is trying to prove amd isn’t as good as intel or some shit. Leave it to dell to drop the ball.
it's always the same conclusion for evey pre-built they review,
if you build yourself it's cheaper, then they finish with but it's a nice package with this weird case and a free rgb keyboard 😁
I find it rubbish, because you're stuck with the initial high cost instead of choosing your budget for the build. The other problem is the oem motherboard.
I don't know about this system, but usually Dell will give you 1 year warranty where retail parts you get 3 years at no cost.
Wasnt Alienware using AMD in last 2 years already? AMD got Alienware guy to work for them too.
$3500. Ouch. But it's a nice PC I have to admit.
Dell screwed over AMD in the past with Intel. Dell continues to screw over AMD with VMWare. Dell screws over customers with the Alienware Area-51m clown fiesta.
When I did component rework years ago. Dell always had the worst PCB and components in their systems.
I will never trust or buy a Dell product.
Does it supports PCIE 4?
WTB: 4900H laptop, 17in 4k 120htz panel, 2080 Super Max Q in a thin format.
Cash in hand, will buy today.
alright... 7zip bench to check the CPU Temps... whatever
