Alienware’s latest gaming PC, the Aurora R16, is missing something. Specifically, it is missing a good portion of its predecessor’s size. The company has made the tower sleeker, without compromising its abilities.

The R16 starts at a 13th Gen Intel Core i7 processor with 16 cores, 54MB cache and speeds of up to 5.2GHz. That is backed up by 16GB in RAM, and an NVidia GeForce RTX graphics card. That can be bumped up to the i9, with an upgraded GeForce card and up to 64GB of RAM.

The CPU is air-cooled too, with the usual Alienware lighting effects.
