Alienware Aurora, Intel Core Ultra 9, GeForce RTX 5080, Win 11 Home, 32 GB RAM, 2 TB SSD, ACT1250, Gaming PC (36YYW) Product Description The Alienware Aurora ACT1250 is a platinum desktop gaming AI PC from Dell Alienware, built for demanding players, creators, and power users who need high-end performance in a complete tower system without an included monitor. This personal computer is supplied with 1 Year Care Onsite service and runs Windows 11 Home, giving users a ready platform for modern gaming, creative production, multitasking, and AI-enhanced workflows. At the centre of the Alienware Aurora ACT1250 is the Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 2 285K processor, a 24-core CPU with one installed processor supported by the Intel Z890 chipset. It operates at 3.7 GHz on the P-cores and 3.2 GHz on the E-cores, with maximum turbo speeds reaching 5.7 GHz on the P-cores and 4.6 GHz on the E-cores, allowing the system to handle intensive games and demanding productivity applications with fast, responsive performance. The processor includes 36 MB of cache, and the system also incorporates an Intel AI Boost neural processing unit delivering up to 13 TOPS, with total processor performance of up to 36 TOPS for supported AI workloads. Graphics performance is driven by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 graphics controller, which is rated up to 8 TOPS and is paired with 16 GB of GDDR7 SDRAM video memory. This dedicated graphics hardware gives the Aurora ACT1250 the visual capability required for immersive gaming, high-definition rendering, advanced graphics workloads, and smooth experiences in visually demanding software. The system includes 32 GB of installed DDR5 SDRAM, arranged as two 16 GB DIMM modules across two total memory slots with no empty slots remaining. Memory runs at an effective and rated speed of 5200 MT/s, and the platform supports expansion up to a maximum of 64 GB, providing strong bandwidth and capacity for multitasking, content creation, and heavy application use. Storage is provided by a 2 TB solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, connected through PCI Express 4.0 x4 and using NVM Express technology with triple-level cell flash. This fast NVMe SSD configuration offers quick access to files, fast application launches, reduced loading times, and enough capacity for games, creative projects, media, and productivity software. The system has no optical drive. To help maintain stable operation during demanding workloads, the Alienware Aurora ACT1250 includes a built-in liquid cooling system with a 240 mm radiator. This cooling design supports thermal control during long gaming sessions, rendering tasks, and other high-load activity, helping the desktop maintain consistent performance when the hardware is under pressure. Networking is broad and modern, with support for Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n, IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6, and IEEE 802.11be Wi-Fi 7. The networking hardware uses a Killer E3100G Ethernet controller and an Intel Wi-Fi 7 BE200 wireless NIC on an M.2 2230 interface, with dual-stream 2x2 wireless capability for fast and flexible connectivity. The desktop offers a wide selection of expansion and connection options, including a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, two PCIe 4.0 x4 slots, one M.2 2230 card slot for the wireless module with none free, and two M.2 2230/2280 card slots for SSD storage with one free. External connectivity includes 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet LAN, two USB 2.0 ports with SmartPower On support, five USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports with one supporting PowerShare, two USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports with one supporting PowerShare, USB4 with Power Delivery, audio line-in, audio line-out, SPDIF, and a headphones/microphone connector. Audio output supports 5.1 channel surround sound and complies with High Definition Audio standards, making the system suitable for gaming audio, entertainment, and multimedia playback. Security features include a Kensington security slot, a security lock slot for a separately sold cable lock, and a padlock loop, helping protect the desktop in shared or public environments. The Alienware Aurora ACT1250 is powered by a 1000 watt power supply with 80 PLUS Platinum certification and accepts AC 90-264 V at 50/60 Hz. It is designed to operate between 10 °C and 35 °C with a non-condensing operating humidity range of 20% to 80%. The chassis is platinum in colour, although the displayed product image may show a different colour, and a clear side panel is included as an accessory and in the box. Measuring 19.7 cm wide, 45.84 cm deep, and 41.8 cm high, and weighing 15.37 kg, the Alienware Aurora ACT1250 is a substantial desktop tower designed for serious gaming and performance-focused computing. Microsoft 365 can be activated for a 30 day trial, and the box contains the Alienware Aurora ACT1250 along with the clear side panel.
