Hilariously Bad Alienware R10 Ryzen PC: $1800 Pre-Built Review
Dell has led the way in our latest prebuilt testing: The company has continually set new bars in prebuilt quality. For Dell, no bar is too low. The Alienware R10 takes us to new depths.

The Alienware R10 Ryzen Edition system, sadly, lets AMD down in a big way: It’s using an Intel cooler on the AMD CPU, and it’s a low-power cooler that’s starved for air. The enclosure is comically complex, to the point of being a negative in the review.RELATED PRE-BUILT REVIEWSYou can see why the ABS Challenger is the best prebuilt we’ve reviewed so far here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2vrvQydVIw We also looked at Lenovo for another OEM prebuilt here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_b0ndn5oIg Or you can see why the Dell G5 5000 is insane here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DMg6hUudHE And for something different, we covered the announcement of Valve’s handheld Steam Deck:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkolKam3kjU RELATED PRODUCTS [Affiliate Links](If you really must)Dell Alienware Aurora R10 on Amazon: https://geni.us/OgQDALenovo Legion on Amazon: https://geni.us/CgGQwbVABS Prebuilts on Newegg: https://geni.us/wAJziBUYPOWER gaming PCs on Amazon: https://geni.us/9BEnIaDell G5 5000 i5 Gaming PC on Amazon: https://geni.us/R6F03Mb Some random Pre-Built Gaming PCs on Amazon: https://geni.us/UPWiwC Or DIY it with an Intel i5-10600K on Amazon: https://geni.us/9xEIUZLike our content?
