Reviewer score 80% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Aurora R10 is a showcase for AMD's powerhouse Ryzen 3 processors. It's a beast of a gaming PC, even if the high-end options have more cores than most games know what to do with. This desktop also puts the spotlight on what Alienware does best. With great build quality, and fairly simple upgradability, it should last for many, many years.
Pros
- Powerful AMD Ryzen 3 processors
- Unique case design
- Good build quality
Cons
- No upgradability options
- No Thunderbolt 3

Reviewer score 81% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Alienware Aurora R10 is an absolute performance beast. The top-end GPU and the latest AMD silicon together make for a blistering gaming desktop. It's expensive, in part, because of the cost of the Ryzen 9 3950X and the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. If you're mostly going to play games, save a few hundred dollars and pick a less expensive CPU.
Pros
- Powerful CPU and GPU
- High-refresh-rate 4K gaming
- Powerful graphics performance
Cons
- Expensive for what it offers

Reviewer score 84% (normalized by Neofiliac)Alienware's Aurora R10 is the first Aurora model in several years to offer AMD processors. The R10 ran the orc-slaying action of Middle-earth: Shadow of War at a nice 69 frames per second at 4K and max settings. Up front, you've got three USB 3.1 Type-A Ports, as well as a PowerShare-enabled USB-C port.
Pros
- Powerful AMD CPU and GPU
- Sleek design
- Easy to upgrade
Cons
- Lacks RGB lighting

Reviewer score 68% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Alienware Aurora R10 is a powerful gaming and productivity system. Its look makes a statement and has a great selection of front ports. But the cooling, particularly for a high-end chip, doesn't meet AMD's recommended standards. The base model starts at $1,199 with an AMD Ryzen 5 3500 CPU.
Pros
- Powerful Ryzen 9 3950X CPU
- Good overclocking performance
- Solid build quality
Cons
- Loud fans
