For the first time since its inception, the Alienware Aurora R13 features a vast overhaul to the visual language, with a transparent panel revealing the impressive lighting and hardware at the helm. Something that doesn't change regardless of configuration is the aesthetics of the machine. Gaming on the Alienware Aurora R13 was a very pleasant experience Alienware Aurora R13 review Almost everything can be swapped out from graphics cards to the amount of available storage, and RAM too. This means that the R13 line can be as affordable, or as premium, as to suit your needs. Perhaps the greatest strength of the Alienware Aurora R13 is in its customization options though, and while it is decidedly difficult to open up and work on the insides yourself, the manufacturer does give you specific hardware options when purchasing. Our review unit came powered by the Intel Core i9-12900KF CPU, with 64GB DDR5 RAM, and an RTX 3080, so naturally 4K60 and above was absolutely no problem here.

In our testing, we found that the Alienware Aurora R13 made short work of our benchmarking tools and the games that we use to stress test higher-end models.
