Alienware revived its Area-51 laptops with serious performance and far-out designs

For 2025, Alienware has resurrected its flagship Area-51 laptop line with faster components and some rather far out design touches.

Around back, the company’s Aurora lighting has been integrated into the rear of the system to create a striking gradient effect on the laptop’s thermal shelf. But the Area-51 laptop’s most distinctive feature might be its bottom, where Alienware has installed a Gorilla Glass window with an integrated vent to help manage airflow while also giving you a peek at the hardware inside. Naturally, as Alienware’s latest flagship gaming laptops, the new Area-51 notebooks should offer top-notch performance thanks to support for up to Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPUs, 64GB of RAM (at up to 7200 MT/s, the highest yet on any Alienware laptop), 12 TB of PCIe Gen 5 SSD storage and next-gen NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPUs.
