recommended accessories 66622p

Dell sent us the computer and also other essential accessories to use it in high quality, such as the mouse Alienware Tri-Mode AW720M Gamer (Dark Side of the Moon), the keyboard Gamer Alienware Low Profile RGB AW510k and the monitor 25 inch Alienware Gamer with 360 Hz refresh rate AW2523HF. I can confidently say that this was the best set I've ever used in my life. Just ing that they are sold separately and are not part of the kit. Desktop Gaming Alienware Aurora R15

Keyboard 5b4q

For starters, the keyboard has backlighting. AlienFX RGB 16,8 million colors per key, that is, we can leave it the color we want. Particularly I prefer a more neutral color, so I opted for a shade of green, but it depends on your personal taste. In my daily life, I'm more used to a notebook keyboard, so the keys are a little lower than the keyboard. Gamer Alienware Low Profile RGB AW510k. However, with use, it becomes very easy to get used to.

The keyboard model is American, which means that it does not have the ç, but this is easily circumvented. At the top right we have a scroll bar that lets us control the volume of whatever we're watching on the PC, be it music, a game, a movie, or whatever. Apart from the many common keyboard shortcuts we currently have.

One thing that positively surprised me was the keyboard cable. Instead of those simpler cables, this one is bigger and thicker, with a fabric that protects it. The sound of the keys when pressed was quite satisfactory, and did not cause me any kind of discomfort, whether typing this text or playing. In games its performance was excellent, with very good response times. Finally, we also have a USB port at the top, close to the cable, which allows us to add any other peripheral we want.

Mouse 40572q

Of all the mice I've ever used in my life, the mouse Gamer Alienware Tri-Mode AW720M (Dark Side of the Moon) it was the one that best suited my hand, which is large. Usually I find mice a bit small, which makes using them a bit uncomfortable. However, this Alienware model managed to bring me an ease that I never felt before.

You can use the mouse in several different ways. The mouse's battery is excellent, and can handle up to 420 hours of continuous use when used via bluetooth. If you want, you can connect using the dongle USB-C, but in this case the battery lasts up to 140 hours. The company still promises that a charge of just 5 minutes guarantees 20 hours of direct use. Or, you can do what I did and use it with the cable connected, so you never have to worry about it. It's better to have options than to be restricted to just one choice.

The mouse has 25.000 DPI (Dots Per Inch, dots per inch in literal translation) which makes our movements much more precise while using the PC. In addition, it has extra buttons that can be fully customized according to your tasks, and thus facilitate your daily life, whether at work or in games.

Monitor 2zp25

I'm used to playing my favorite games on a television that has a refresh rate of 120Hz, and this was my first with a monitor that reaches a rate of 360Hz. I can safely say that it was the most incredible experience I've ever had, not only because of the 25-inch Alienware Gamer Monitor with 360Hz Refresh Rate AW2523HF, but for the work as a whole.

Despite being 25 inches, the size of the monitor is excellent for anyone working at a regular desk. In addition, the monitor has a very good anti-glare screen that will prevent even the strongest sun rays from disturbing you in your tasks. Its base is easily clickable and we can adjust the height according to the 's height, which for me was fundamental. On the left side there is a small retractable rod that can be used to rest the headset when not in use, which is very practical.

When watching content from streaming platforms, such as football, or TV series, the quality is incredible, but it is in games that the monitor shines. The first time I entered Fornite with everything maxed out it was a shock, even more so compared to what I regularly see on my PlayStation 5 and 120Hz TV. There are no traces of motion blur while we are using this great monitor. All this with a very low response rate, that is, we won't have the infamous input lag.

The monitor also has several USB 3.2 ports with the types downstream with Battery Charging 1.2, 3 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 downstream and USB 3.2 Gen 1 upstream. It also has a headphone jack, ideal for use if your PC is out of earshot. headset wired.

cinebench r23 3k4b6x

With cinebench r23 we can check how the PC handles tasks on its processor in two different ways: one with all cores active, and the other with just one of them.

As we can see in the image above, in the tests, when we worked with all cores activated, the processor was in second place, well ahead of third place and very little behind the leader.

Tests in Games 4l1r1h

in the case of a PC Gamer, of course we have to test it with games. As mentioned above, one of the titles used was the classic Fortnite. For this we put all the video settings at the maximum possible and also activated the hardware Ray-tracing, and we obtained a great result, being that the frame rate per second varied according to the location between 80 and 110. Still thus, the visuals were much better than what you would find in a PlayStation 5, for example.

I also tested in the game No Man's Sky, and the results were also amazing. In addition to loading very quickly, the planets did not have any elements that appeared out of nowhere on the screen, not to mention the experience of flying the ship.

Finally, I also tested it with one of the most beautiful games I've ever seen in my life: Death Stranding. The PC version's graphics manage to stay all maxed out and at no point did I experience lag or loss of image quality.
