XPS vs. Alienware Aurora
On Dell Outlet site, many high end refurbished desktops are either XPS or Alienware Aurora.
Which model is better? XPS or Alienware Aurora?
Thanks.

If you are talking about recent but not newest models such as XPS8940 vs Aurora R11/12, 8940 chassis has better air cooling than R11/12. R11/12 has more bling LED effect which is just RGB show not essential to pc function. otoh 8940 uses highly proprietary mobo and psu, while R11/12 mobo/psu have standard form factor. both use Dell oem gpu and ram.

Historically, the differentiation is that Alienware has the larger power-supplies, liquid-cooling, the best processors (like Intel-i9 and K-class, equivalent AMD CPUs), sometimes more slots, and coolness-factor (led lights and Aliens), etc.
XPS is more mainstream (and not really gaming focused). Some are sold on business-side to SMB.
