External power brick is rather large in size
Compact size limits upgrade and expansion options
Not a gaming powerhouse
Price
The Alienware X51 offers up some decent specs. The basic model comes with an Intel Core i3 3.30GHz processor and an NVIDIA GeForce GT 545 video card
But if you’re already a PC tech head you may be able to customise your own gaming PC with better specs for a similar price. The Alienware X51 starts at £559
But goes up to £849. That said
The Alienware X51 still offers a no-fuss solution in an all
Tricky to upgrade
Still pricier than a console
Lowpower PSU limits upgrade options
Styling won't appeal to everyone
More expensive than an XBox or PS3
No wireless or Blu-Ray as standard
Noisy fan during intensive use
Overheating
Entrylevel keyboard and mouse not suited for gaming
Compact design increases heat and noise
Relatively expensive
Gameboy styling isn't for everyone
It can get a little loud under heavy load
If size or appearance isn't important then there are better value for money systems at £900
Standard memory without headspreaders

If you are in the market for a new system that looks beautiful wit
Sleek design, form factor, Good hardware, Decent overall performance
Expensive, Graphics could've been better, Older processor
The Alienware X51 sports a nice and compact chassis with good internal hardware. However, it isn't as stylish and over-the-top as previous Alienware desktops. Cutting down on Alienware�s characteristic excesses, the X51 aims to provide gamers a slim and...

The launch of Dell's latest desktop computer proves that big things do come in small packages. The overall Dell Alienware X51 Review shows that it is the perfect device that would give a tough competition to the PlayStation and Xbox gaming consoles. It is...
Abstract: With a glossy front panel and a classy matte finish on the sides, the X51 is just as pretty standing upright as it is lying down flat. Attention to detail, with a logo that rotates with its orientation and customisable front and side lights, is impressive...

Abstract: Alienware's latest X51 gaming PC would not look out of place in an office.Yes, it still has the brand's distinctive alien head logo on the front, but the company shows uncharacteristic restraint by putting just a couple of LED lights on the X51.Also, unli...

Todos sus componentes son excelentes, lo que la hace una de las mejores desktops del mercado. Tiene un diseño llamativo, que incorpora muchas funciones para mejorar el desempeño
Su precio es elevado y no incluye el monitor, por lo que necesitas gastar más para completar la computadora
Esta Alienware es ideal para un gamer que quiera ser la envidia de los demás. No sólo tiene una torre con un diseño llamativo, también cuenta con componentes que te van a dejar disfrutar de todas las opciones de una computadora. Con su procesador Core ...
Compacto y silencioso, Rendimiento gráfico suficiente sin disparar excesivamente el precio, Puertos USB de alta velocidad
Sin lector de tarjetas, Para montar un procesador de última generación Ivy Bridge, hay que sumar 150 euros al precio, El transformador de energía es externo
Qualité de fabrication, Performances globales, Compacité
Bruyant en utilisation intensive, Chauffe beaucoup, Clavier et souris peu adaptés au jeu et plutôt entrée de gamme
L'Alienware X51 remporte son paris et offre à l'utilisateur une machine compacte et puissante. En contrepartie on doit faire avec une chauffe et des nuisances sonores assez conséquentes. On regrette également que la marque n'ait pas plus pris soin des pér...
L'Alienware X51 nous a séduits. Il est un peu cher dans cette version, mais qu'il est bon ! Moins bruyant, plus puissant, ce petit PC de bureau est disponible en cinq versions sur le site du constructeur. Seul trois d'entre elles sont vraiment taillés pou...
