The most powerful AND the quietest gaming pc I have ever owned
I ordered this on a Friday and received it on Saturday around 2pm and it was in perfect, unopened shape. It was very easy to get set up and running. I did a few internet searches to learn how to disable/remove all the bloatware MS puts in Windows that I didn’t want (copilot, etc.) and then I was off to the races. I can not emphasize enough just how quiet this machine is! My last pc, a Corsair, was, I thought, a pretty quiet machine, but it would (seemingly randomly) turn on its fans once in a while and dispel the quiet – even when nothing appeared to be going on to cause it generate extra heat. This alienware r16, by contrast, is just plain always quiet. I haven’t put it through a truly heavy workload yet, but I’m throwing all sorts of games and apps at it, and it’s just so quiet. It starts up very quickly, and is just plain the nicest system I have ever owned. I guess, at least sometimes, you really do get what you pay for. This is a rock-solid machine. Very much recommended. Also, if you’re like me, and you’d been avoiding Windows 11 as long as possible, I can tell you it’s not too bad at all, once you tweak it to your liking. As I said at the top, it was pretty easy to get the bloatware out (the one thing they embed like a tick is Edge, but I’m working on that). Everything else that you don’t want is pretty easy to pare out, leaving behind a system that runs well and puts very little load on your resources, leaving most of this system’s impressive power and speed available to run the apps and games you actually care about.

A Great PC.
I bought this to replace my old Alienware Aurora R7. This machine is fantastic. i don’t game much but i use it for graphics, composite digital photography and video editing. they don’t mention it in the title, but this machine is liquid cooled. some people complain about their experience with this computer but those are individual machines with defects, that has no reflection on most reviews for this machine. if you buy through amazon you should be able to get your issues resolved easily….you take the chance of getting an individual defective machine no matter what computer you buy….my old R7 desktop is still going strong after 7 years…

RUNS LIKE A HOTROD PC
I love this computer it runs well and runs like a high-performance computer shud. it’s good for a lot of high-powered games. the video card is not so good for mining Bitcoin but it’s awesome for gaming. it has an extra M.2 slot for an upgrade of up to 2 TB.

This makes me sad
I am honestly so disappointed with this desktop. I had bought it to replace my Aurora R6, thinking it would be an upgrade since my Aurora R6 still had all the original parts that came with it -i7, 1070graphics, 16GB DDR4 and so on- You would think this desktop would be a pretty decent upgrade for a 7 year old desktop, but no.. ever since I got this desktop, itâs been nothing but a headache. Graphics display issues, freezes fairly often, randomly shut off by itself sometimes, the RAM is constantly in full usage just from running Firefox. I made sure everything is up to date, reseated absolutely everything in the thing, I tried taking advantage of the âpremium supportâ, but that was absolutely useless. I just donât know anymore, this desktop is just honestly garbage.

Very good pc!
 So the first thing I donât like is that you can see the green itâs not to fashionable on the inside but I can tell you, itâs a good powerhouse! Itâs pretty quiet it rarely ever gets louder only gets loud when u boot up a game thatâs really big but itâs quick to kill itself down! I play gta5 on medium to high graphics for hours and it works and maintains the cooling. Excellent airflow. The only thing I donât really like in it is the 16gb ram. There being 16gb ram isnât bad, but if you want to catch up to the other specs (i7, GTX4060) then Iâd upgrade to 32gb ram. (Iâm going to do that) I play Fortnite on lower settings the frames tend to be unstable due to the higher graphics in Fortnite(on certain settings.) if you want my settings on my Fortnite to make it run a very stable 165FPS with being able to see people very well just add my Snapchat – ShesmyssticIâll happily send them to you.Iâd recommend this pc to anyone whoâs looking to get into the PC world. Iâve looked everywhere else and the insides donât match up to ram or the intel chips are to old for the ram or graphics card is to old.. all for 1500$ this is a very very good buy. (COMES WITH KEYBOARD AND MOUSE!)

Good pc
It’s a good PC runs great just be sure to either upgrade the fan or undervolt the CPU so it doesn’t overheat.the fan has trouble cooling the CPU it’ll reach 100c real quick and throttle. Other than that it’s great.

I turned on the computer and it’s been pure joy ever since!
This computer came the next day with one day shipping. It was packed impeccably and it has felt like it’s been on autopilot ever since. I bought this for photography and it is working at peak level as I had hoped. Not one issue loading it or running it. I transfer a lot of files/photos and edit quite extensively at times. Someday I might upgrade the graphics card but it’s working perfectly for now. I was signed up automatically for the warranty. I just keep staring it it in amazement and wonder at the ease of operation/use. At some point I will let a family member play a game on it to test it out but for my purposes it is perfect. I bought a 4tb external ssd hd for transferring photos. It’s a great place to be to have nothing else to have to buy or fix to prepare for spring nature and birding photos. Couldn’t be happier.

Only had a few days so far but so far I love it. Extremely quiet, you can see the Nvidia RTX graphics card logo through the glass on the left side, small enough to fit into most desk lower shelf compartments for towers. Fast performance, Nvidia RTX 4060 graphics card handles all of my high graphics-intensive games phenomenally and the graphics quality is superb. Great computer for gaming or office.

I can build PC i just didn’t want to put in the time looking up new parts i have not been keeping up on the lates news GAMERS NEXUS best U tube channel to get honest revies in my book anyway not that hard to find what parts i want but this would just save my time so looked for a pre build and found the R16 was better not just looking but performance (thermals) from R15this has a app to set up your fans, better to just use the default settingso far so good got this Feb 4 so 13 days in all is wellthis is posted on the 17th Feb

Not sure what happened here. I question whether this damage could come from just being dropped.
