It’s been just two months since the launch of Alienware’s compactAurora R16gaming desktop.

Still, Alienware sees the need for a refresh.

Even at launch, the original configurations of Aurora R16 were considered somewhat “mid-tier.”

The upgraded Aurora R16 comes with a choice of Intel Core i7-14700KF or Core i9-14900KF processor.

But Alienware offers plenty of GPU options, including the aforementioned RTX 4070 card.

That said, RAM and storage are user-upgradeable.

Alienware will begin selling theupgraded configurations of Aurora R16desktop on October 17th.

Cheaper versions of the Aurora R16 start at $1,300.
