The Area 51m laptop is genuinely nice to look at, having an architectural feel to its aesthetic and a stylish design to boot; it really is one of the nicest laptops going, striking the balance between being a gaming laptop and a cool, well-designed bit of tech overall. Yeah, it's a bit further from the thinnest and lightest gaming laptops going, but it's got its own character in design and form that matches the PC-replicating power that it offers. The fat back end and the exhaust shape on the rear is a good case in point of that.
It's a chonk, then, but it all feels in proportion. It's also weighty as you'd expect, but within the aesthetic, the laptop works. In fact, it feels premium and solid. The screen is a great example. A simple test that I often perform is to see if there's any noticeable wobble or slipping from the screen position. In this case, no wobble could be found - it's really rather sturdy.
This extends to the whole build: everything genuinely feels premium and like you've got the best design and build in your hands.
Other nice touches are present across the behemoth, too: the RGB alien head and rim to the oval 'exhaust' on the rear are cool; the keyboard's RGB lighting is soft and pleasant; and the whole touchpad illuminating when in use is really lovely. The screen recognising when you're looking at it is another fun feature and oozes a bit of (largely unnecessary) cool factor.
