In the week before the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phablet, the South Korean company has announced its Q2 2016 earnings report.

Gaming PCs these days come in all shapes and sizes. However, typically, the less volume you have to work with, the less horsepower under the hood, due to the simple laws of physics and thermodynamics. Regardless, Dell’s Alienware division has managed to engineer a less-than 2 foot tall by just over a foot deep, small form-factor gaming PC that drops in a power plant with the muscle and bleeding-edge platform technologies of a system three times its size. The newly redesigned Alienware Aurora R5 is kind of like the Alfa Romeo 4C of gaming desktops. It’s sleek, tiny and absolutely busting at the seams with horsepower – well, at least you can configure it that way.
