Not everyone is the DIY type. If you're in the market for a prebuilt gaming PC, Dell is one of best brands we'd recommend. Alienware desktops and laptops feature solid build quality, top-of-the-line gaming performance, excellent cooling (further improved on the newer models), aggressive styling, and pricing that is very competitive with other pre-built options. Best of all, there are plenty of sales that happen throughout the year, so it's not difficult to grab one of these computers at considerably less than their retail price. This page includes all of the best deals that are currently available.
Dell's Holiday Savings Event, a precursor to Black Friday, kicks off today. Since it's still early, most of the deals right now are lukewarm at best, but there are still some great deals you shouldn't sleep on.

Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 4090 Gaming PC
Good for 4K gaming
The Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 4090 Super gaming PC drops to $3099.99 after a $600 instant discount. The RTX 4090 is the most powerful GPU on the market. In his RTX 4090 review, Chris Coke writes, "The RTX 4090 may be huge and expensive, but holy smokes if it doesn’t blow the competition out of the water... Until the rest of the pack can catch up, between its impressive hardware specs and its DLSS 3 AI wizardry, even the $1,599 price doesn’t seem unreasonable for the unrivaled frame rates that this card can crank out." The 4090 is also great for AI thanks to its 24GB of VRAM.
Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 4080 Super Gaming PC
Good for 4K gaming
The Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 4080 Super gaming PC drops to $2499.99 after a $700 instant discount. The 4080 Super is a second generation card that supersedes the RTX 4080. It's Nvidia's second most powerful card and a superior GPU to AMD's Radeon RX 7900 RTX if you factor in DLSS and ray tracing performance. In our RTX 4080 Super review, Jacqueline Thomas writes, "If you're in the market for a 4K graphics card around $1,000, it's hard to think of any GPU that's a better purchase right now. This is the RTX 4080 that should have launched in 2022."
Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 4070 Super Gaming PC
Good for 1440p gaming
Dell has dropped the price on this Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 4070 Super gaming PC to $1,699.99 after a $500 instant discount. This is the best value for gamers who want a PC that can run any game currently available, but don't want to spend to overspend. The RTX 4070 Super is the best graphics card for most people; it's not exorbitantly priced, and it's powerful enough to run games at up to 4K resolution (although 1440p is its sweet spot).
Alienware m16 R2 16" Gaming Laptop
Dell is offering an Alienware m16 R2 16" RTX 4060 gaming laptop for $1,499.99 after a $300 instant discount. You'll need a decent amount of GPU power to be able to run games smoothly on the display's bumped-up QHD+ resolution. The RTX 4060 sits between the RTX 3070 and the RTX 3070 Ti, so it's definitely no slouch in terms of gaming performance. Alternatively, you can upgrade to an RTX 4070 for only $100 more. The RTX 4070 mobile is on par with the RTX 3080 but with newer features like DLSS 3.0.
Alienware m18 R2 18" Gaming Laptop
The Alienware m18 is the biggest Alienware laptop you can buy with an imposing 18" 2560x1600 display and top-of-the-line components. There are two models that are on sale today. The higher end model includes an Intel Core i9-14900HX CPU and RTX 4090 GPU for $3199.99. The RTX 4090 is still the most powerful mobile GPU on the market, and by a very substantial margin. It's roughly equivalent to a desktop RTX 3090 GPU. If that's beyond your budget, there's also a model equipped with an Intel Core i7-14700HX CPU and RTX 4070 GPU for $1899.99.
Alienware x16 R2 16" Gaming Laptop
The Alienware x16 gaming laptop is a slimmer and lighter redesign of the traditional m-series laptop. It's the thinnest 16" Alienware laptop ever and compares in build quality and performance to other high-end ultra-thin laptops like the Razer Blade. This Alienware x16 R2 laptop is built with premium materials, like a magnesium alloy chassis and palm rest, anodized aluminum lid, stainless steel keyboard tray, and Micro LED RGB accent lighting. It's only 0.73" thin and weighs in at 6 pounds. That's impressive considering the fact that this laptop can be equipped with the most power NVIDIA GPU.
Alienware x14 R2 14" Gaming Laptop
Dell is offering the Alienware x14 R2 RTX 4050 gaming laptop for only $999.99 after a $700 instant discount. This is the lowest price we've seen for Alienware's slimmest and lightest laptop. This model is equipped with an RTX 4050 with an 85W TGP. Even so, it's capable of running older or non-demanding games comfortably, especially if you drop the resolution down from QHD+ to 1080p. Some examples include League of Legends, Starcraft, Fortnite, and Genshin Impact. In our Horizon Forbidden West PC Performance Review, Michael Thompson writes, "Our RTX 4050 gaming machine represents a good section of the PC market. Using my optimized settings, we can hit 60fps in addition to superior image quality and performance to the PS4 version."
Dell G-Series Gaming Laptops
Dell has dropped the prices on both the and Dell G16 gaming laptops. Dells G-series laptops are great options for budget gamers. They offer excellent gaming performance equal to a comparably equipped Alienware laptop but at a much lower price point. They also have better build quality than Dell's consumer-oriented Inspiron lineup, with nicer materials that include anodized aluminum, and an aggressive cooling design borrowed from Alienware laptops.
