The battery capacity of the new model is 90 Wh. The Alienware 16 Area-51 is equipped with the same display as the 16X Aurora. All versions of this laptop are equipped with Intel Core Ultra 200HX series processors, and the most expensive one has an RTX 5090 (24 GB) graphics card combined with 64 GB of DDR5-7200 RAM (SODIMM). Additionally, the new model is equipped with an NVMe SSD PCIe Gen5, an audio system with spatial sound (4 speakers, Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision), an AlienFX RGB keyboard with customizable backlighting and N-key rollover, an Intel Killer Wi-Fi 7 module, as well as a 96 Wh battery with fast charging (80% in 35 minutes) and a 360 W GaN power supply.
