Lenovo Legion T530 (AMD) vs. Alienware Aurora R13 Desktop
The Lenovo Legion T530 (AMD) 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 T530 (AMD), you have options to configure it with a 65W AMD Zen (Raven Ridge) quad-core AMD Ryzen 5 2400G up to a 65W 12-core AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 3900 with a boost speed up to 4.30 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.
Fortunately, both PC allows you to upgrade later if you are unsatisfied with the amount of memory on your PC. The Lenovo Legion T530 (AMD) has two RAM slots that support up to 32GB of 2666MHz dual-channel DDR4 memory. On the other hand, the Alienware Aurora R13 Desktop has four RAM slots that you can upgrade 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 8 USB ports available on the Lenovo Legion T530 (AMD), four 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 T530 (AMD) has seven 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 two ports that support 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).
