Alienware Alpha R2 review | Eurogamer.net

eurogamer.net

The Alienware Alpha R2 is a marvel in compact gaming PC design, offering more power than current consoles in a tiny, upgradeable form. However, its choice of the GTX 960 GPU feels outdated in the face of newer options like the GTX 1060, limiting its potential. While it outperforms the PS4 and Xbox One, it struggles to consistently hit 60fps at 1080p, which is a premium expectation for PC gamers. Its portability and upgradeability are commendable, but the older GPU tech means it may not be the future-proof choice for everyone.

Alienware Alpha R2 Review – It’s Time For Some Probing – WGB

The Alienware Alpha R2 aims to bring PC gaming to the living room but struggles against its own aspirations. While it packs a potent Intel i7 processor and a GTX 960, its performance is underwhelmed by a sluggish HDD and non-upgradable GPU. The design is compact and sleek, with customizable LEDs adding a touch of flair. However, the noise level under load and the absence of a 3.5mm audio jack detract from the appeal. The Alienware Amplifier offers a potential boost but adds to the cost and complexity. Overall, the Alpha R2 is a well-built machine that doesn't quite justify its steep price against consoles, offering a modest graphical upgrade with the flexibility of a PC. For those with extra cash seeking a versatile alternative to consoles, it’s worth considering, but it falls short of being a definitive console-killer.
