The rejuvenated Alienware Area-51 laptop lineup includes a window to its internals. The Area-51 desktop is extra big to accept Nvidia's GPUs.

But the 2025 Alienware Area-51, an 80-liter tower just introduced at CES in Las Vegas, finally ditches the proprietary parts in favor of standard ATX components.

It's not a giant alien head, but the 80L desktop is roomy and ready for top performance -- now and down the road -- while the laptop designs are inspired by the Northern Lights.

At CES 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada, Alienware has announced a new series of Area 51 desktops and laptops, designed to bring Alienware back to the forefront of gaming PCs.

Alienware, Dell’s gaming hardware division, has announced it is reintroducing the iconic Area-51 computer back into the family. Announced during CES 2025 in Las Vegas, the 80-liter tower was unveiled alongside Nvidia’s new GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards.

While parent company Dell is doing a big rebrand of its entire PC portfolio, at CES 2025 Alienware is sort of returning to its roots by bringing back the classic Area-51 name back for its new flagship laptop line.
