Lenovo Legion T5i (26L) vs. Alienware Aurora R13 Desktop

The Lenovo Legion T5i (26L) and the Alienware Aurora R13 Desktop were released in the same year, 2021. Both systems share the same full-tower form factor that can accommodate a large motherboard, multiple graphics cards, extra storage, and better cooling solution.

Processor

The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is like the brains of your desktop computer. Its performance determines how fast and responsive your PC is. Generally, a processor with newer architecture, more CPU cores, higher TDP (measured in W), and faster clock speed (measured in GHz) tends to be more expensive and run faster than others with older architecture, fewer CPU cores, lower TDP, and lower clock speed.

For Lenovo Legion T5i (26L), you have options to configure it with a 65W 10th Generation Intel Comet Lake 6-core Intel Core i5-10400 up to a 65W 8-core Intel Core i9-11900F with a boost speed up to 5.20 GHz.

While Alienware Aurora R13 Desktop has configurations with a 125W 12th Generation Intel Alder Lake 10-core Intel Core i5-12600K up to a 125W 16-core Intel Core i9-12900KF with a boost speed up to 5.20 GHz.

Memory

The Random Access Memory or RAM is the super-fast and temporary storage used to handle all active tasks, apps, and games that will go away when your PC turns off. The more memory your PC has, the better multitasking your PC can handle without having to reload data from slower permanent storage that includes the hard disk drive or solid-state drive.

Both PCs have the same amount of four RAM slots meaning that you upgrade later if you are unsatisfied with the amount of memory on your PC. You can upgrade memory on Lenovo Legion T5i (26L) up to 64GB of 3200MHz or 128GB of 2933MHz dual-channel DDR4 memory. For Alienware Aurora R13 Desktop, it supports up to 64GB of 4400MHz or 128GB of 3600MHz dual-channel DDR5 memory.

Ports

Computer ports are the interface for connecting your PC to its peripheral devices or other PCs. The most common peripherals are keyboard, mouse, monitor, flash drive, speaker, and printer. Most of them use Universal Serial Bus (USB) as their connection to your computer. So the PC with more USB ports can connect to more peripherals at the same time.

There is a total number of 7 USB ports available on the Lenovo Legion T5i (26L), five less than the Alienware Aurora R13 Desktop that has 12 USB ports. On top of the number of USB ports, the type and version of each USB port are also necessary for determining how fast it is.

The Lenovo Legion T5i (26L) has six USB Type-A ports and one USB Type-C port. It has two ports that support USB 2.0 (480 Mbps), four ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps), and one port that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps).

For Alienware Aurora R13 Desktop, it has nine USB Type-A ports and three USB Type-C ports. The PC has four ports that support USB 2.0 (480 Mbps), five ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps), two ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps), and one port that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20 Gbps).
