Alienware Aurora R16 Gaming PC Deals
The Aurora R16 is Alienware’s bread and butter gaming PC. It can be equipped with an Nvidia RTX 5060 graphics card all the way up to an RTX 5080 and the prices for Black Friday are extremely competitive with other brands. For example, currently Alienware has the least expensive prebuilt RTX 5080 gaming PC that I’ve found anywhere. Most of these systems are customizable, however it’s not difficult to upgrade your own RAM and storage yourself.
Alienware Area-51 Gaming PC Deals
If you’re seeking the absolute best of the best in PC gaming performance, look no further. Dell unveiled the new Alienware Area-51 gaming PC at CES 2025. The chassis is a super-sized upgrade to the Aurora R16 system with aesthetic and cooling redesigns. The internal components have been refreshed with a new motherboard, faster RAM, and bigger power supply to accommodate the new generation of CPUs and GPUs. With a high-end system like this, it’s only fitting that it be equipped with an RTX 5080 or RTX 5090 graphics card, so these are the configurations I’ve listed here. Note that Dell Outlet refurbished PCs come with the same warranty as buying new.
Alienware Aurora Gaming Laptop Deals
Alienware’s new mainstream gaming laptop for 2025 is dubbed the “Alienware Aurora” and it replaces the previous generation’s x16 and m16 series of laptops. It comes in two models: the 16 and 16X. The 16 is the more economical model, but gamers should definitely opt for the higher-end 16X model. If you’re looking for build quality and performance on par with the previous generation m16, then the 16X is its spiritual successor. It features an anodized aluminum lid and base, a higher quality display, a more powerful CPU, and a GPU that isn’t throttled for maximum gaming performance.

Alienware 18 Area-51 (18″)
Alienware 16 Area-51 (16″)
The Area-51 is Alienware’s new flagship gaming laptop for 2025. It features an anodized aluminum shell for both the lid and bottom chassis with a gorgeous iridescent finish. The frame is made of a durable and lightweight magnesium alloy. Cooling has been upgraded with generous amounts of copper and a new thermal interface material to better transfer heat away from your hottest components as well as more fans and bigger cutouts for greater airflow. Dell claims that the laptop can handle a higher power ceiling of up to 240W TDP without raising acoustics.
Design-wise, the Area 51 has a sleeker, more contoured shape compared to previous models, with rounded edges and soft corners replacing the traditional squared off design. The hinges are internally positioned so that they’re near invisible. There’s a transparent window on the undercarriage to show off the internal components. As befits an Alienware laptop, there’s plenty of RGB illunimation, although most of it can be turned off if you want your laptop to be a bit more subtle.
Gaming Monitor Deals
Dell makes some of the highest quality gaming monitors around. They’re easily on par with the best that other brands like Samsung, LG, and Asus have to offer. For Black Friday, they’re also incredibly well-priced. For example, the venerable
34″ Alienware AW3423DWF
Qfor $499.99 is the
lower price I’ve ever seen for a 34″ OLED monitor
. By the way, if you do opt for a Dell or Alienware OLED monitor, you also get a 3 year warranty that includes OLED burn-in protection.
