The Alienware Area-51m might be the ultimate portable desktop: a 17-inch laptop that adds interchangeable graphics cards and swappable desktop processors for the first time in years. This one fits up to an Nvidia RTX 2080 and an Intel Core i9-9900K, the fastest parts in a notebook yet. Alienware designed the Area-51m to be easily rebuilt so we tore it down to see what’s inside.

Would you rather have a thick gaming laptop with swappable components like a desktop, or a thinner machine that plugs into an external GPU?
Cost??
Yes
How much energy does it pull?
Just bought it it is great
My favourite laptop area-51M killer laptop 😍😍😍💣👽✌
when you take it apart, dont get stefan to rebuild it, he might install the cpu wrong.
As a rhesus negative blood alien 👽 living in Royal Oak lane 15051 in 151 Biscayne Landing and having done a “science project” on Area 51 back in school now shopping for my first business/YouTube running computer after not using computers for over 5 years now… this has my name on it 😍
the question will be can u afford it?
Definite buy .….… due to honesty.
$110000 on amazon
Maybe mr beast could give me one of those
LET’S RAID
Legend says there is Alienware Area 51 with rtx 2080 ti 20 tb ssd 250 gb ram at area 51
I will go for it cause i cant carry desktop all around with me. My work requires me to work across America on short contracts of 6 months long.
I think this is the beginning of the future of gaming laptops
@1:21 “I athhhked them”

what speeds and types of memory does it accept
looking forward for your reply.
Hello Verge can I have the picture of this video cover? I want to make it to become my laptop wallpaper hehee, but without any text
Bro you’re not wearing your wireless anti static bracelet

Well least ı was playing with Alien Ware area51 in mu dreams..
As a gamer who also uses this laptop for work as a developer, this laptop’s only problems are heat, noise and clumsiness at business meetings.
On Ubuntu I actually had to disable turbo, and on Windows I used Throttlestop to undervolt and lower turbo speeds. Still games and compiles fine, though. However, I’d appreciated it if the laptop came with beefier radiators (on 2060 version at least).
Dell business laptops are like this also, screws labelled, nothing covered for “warranty”, they are extremely repairable.
Do NOT purchase anything from alienware. They are THIEVES and LIARS. Give your money to ANY OTHER company! The only proof I need is the Area 51m upgrade lies!
how many hour battery 91h WOT?
Wow
So a year later and area 51m users are differentiated between R1 and R2. That’s right they developed a new model for an upgradable laptop. Why that makes no sense you may ask? And you know what, you’re absolutely RIGHT. R1 users aren’t given the opportunity to upgrade to the newer chipset that comes with R2 , NO motherboard upgrades to utilize Intel’s new 10 series chipset. So basically they lied. They cheated. They failed.
Who wants to upgrade this LAPTOP?
I mean somebody needs more than this???
I like having a powerhouse I can move when I need to, and a thin & light for everyday mobility. As such, I have a surface pro 7 for daily commute and now getting an Alienware 51m R2 for my main driver at home. I also like that the option of upgrading my graphic with the Alienware Graphics Amplifier if the RTX 3000 series is not doable with the laptop’s motherboard.
1:32, shots fired at apple. Oof.
It’s probably roaring like that because whomever pasted the CPU and GPU had no idea what they were doing. It looked like someone squirted a whole 4g tube on each chip.
Who else is here from the Framework 16 video?
Damn it I want this laptop so bad! Probably would be what I’d go for if I were to go back to Windows from macOS! 😍
sooo what happened to this?
(computer roars)
This aged like milk
What makes it obselete, it still works and still has support.….
Is it that bad to enable power saving mode while on battery? Every other intel/amd laptop does that.
This laptop was the worst purchase of my life. Endless problems and ive had to factory reset it 3 times now.
