The next-gen Alienware Area 51 is now available to preorder - and it can be yours for the eye-watering price of just $4499.99 - $1,000 of which is likely the brand-new RTX 5080 graphics card that this high-end machine carries. Alongside an RTX 5090, the baseline configuration of the Area 51 also features an Intel Core Ultra-9 285K chipset, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 2TB NVMe SSD for a completely stacked line-up of high-end specs - which, of course, you'd expect from Alienware's top-of-the-line gaming machine.
