Area-51: New color, curved design, metal construction and improved cooling.
The Alienware Area-51 is a significant upgrade over the previous generation Alienware m16. For starters, it's clad in anodized aluminum on both the lid and bottom of the case, and has a unique iridescent finish that sparkles in direct light. The frame is made of durable and lightweight magnesium alloy. Cooling has been improved with more copper and a new thermal interface. Dell claims it can handle up to 240W TDP without increasing noise levels.
In terms of design, the Area 51 has a sleeker, more contoured shape than previous models, with rounded edges and soft corners replacing the traditional boxy design. The hinges are located inside, so they are almost invisible. The undercarriage has a transparent window through which the internal components can be seen. There's also plenty of RGB lighting, although most of it can be turned off if you don't like it.
