The X51 arrives in a futuristically designed box, similar to other Alienware designs we have seen before.
Inside are two boxes which contain the accessories and keyboard. Underneath, the system is protected between two very strong plastic support beams.
The larger box contains all the accessories. Alienware include a decent gaming mouse, software and reinstallation discs, an Alienware head sticker and literature on the product. There is also a power adapter.
The mouse and keyboard are both pleasant to use, although they won't compete with the higher end peripherals from the likes of Razer or Steelseries. Great additions however, as all you have left to add is a monitor or television set.
The power supply is very large and heavy. We included an image above left, pictured next to the mouse to give an indication of the physical size. The power supply is designed to work worldwide (100-240V) and it is a 19.5V – 16.9A design.
