Dell has once again decided to jump into the fray with its own “Prime Day” sale event. Last year, Dell’s Prime Day deals on gaming laptops and PCs were actually better than the deals we saw on Amazon. This year, Dell has once again come out in front with some pretty outstanding deals on Alienware Aurora R16 gaming desktops and both Alienware m-series and x-series gaming laptops. You don’t need a Prime membership or anything to take advantage of these deals, either. Check out all of the deals below, and we’ll keep adding to the list as we find more.

A note on Alienware’s newest “R16” desktop chassis
The R16 is Alienware’s current 2024 desktop PC design. It’s 40% smaller in volume compared to previous iterations. It features a simple yet proven airflow pattern; air is drawn in through the side intake vents over the GPU area and a 120mm fan at the front of the case, and exhausts by way of a 120mm rear fan and two 120mm top fans. A 240mm radiator for the all-in-one liquid cooling system is mounted to these top fans. Some configurations don’t actually include the liquid cooling system, but we rarely include them in this roundup. That’s because Alienware’s liquid cooling solution is far superior to their stock air cooling and is easily worth the price premium.

The new “R2” model is lighter and slimmer than the previous generation’s “R1.” Additionally, the m16 R2 is now equipped with low voltage Intel Meteor Lake CPUs for less power draw and thus less heat and noise.
The RTX 4060 sits between the RTX 3070 and the RTX 3070 Ti, so it’s definitely no slouch in terms of gaming performance. The RTX 4060 has the maximum 140W TGP (115W + 25W Dynamic Boost) supplied to it, so this is a top-performing laptop compared to other brands. You’ll need this kind of power to run games on the display’s upgraded QHD+ resolution.

The Alienware m18 “R2” model was released in January of 2024; this is Dell’s highest-end gaming laptop and is intended to be more of a mobile desktop replacement than an actual everyday portable laptop. When equipped with the right components, it performs better in games than most desktop PCs.
There are two options available: an RTX 4080 GPU and an RTX 4090 GPU model. The RTX 4080 mobile GPU performs about 20-35% faster than the RTX 3080 Ti mobile. Compared to desktop variants, the mobile RTX 4080 approaches a performance level similar to the desktop RTX 3070 Ti. 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.

The Alienware x-series laptops are one of the most portable gaming laptops around, with the 16″ model measuring in at 0.73″ at its thinnest point and weighing less than 6 pounds. There are two options: an RTX 4080 GPU and an RTX 4090 GPU model. Despite the slimmer size, both GPUs are supplied with the max 175W TGP (150W + 25W Dynamic Boost), meaning they’ll perform on par with the highest end full-sized gaming laptops like Alienware’s m-series siblings.

Dell has dropped the prices on both the Dell G16 and Dell G15 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.

Dell is taking $200 off the new-for-2024 Alienware AW3225QF 32″ 4K QD OLED gaming monitor, dropping the price to $999.99. This is one of the very few 4K OLED gaming monitors under 42″ on the market, and at this price it’s also the least expensive. If you’re looking for the best gaming monitor for 2024, this should definitely be on your short list.
Why Pick a Dell or Alienware Gaming PC?
If you’re in the market for a prebuilt gaming PC, Dell is one of best gaming brands we’d recommend. The Alienware gaming desktops offer a staggering array of options, all built into a custom chassis. Alienware gaming laptops in recent years have been redesigned to be thinner and lighter while still offering the same immense power under the hood. Consistent build quality, available inventory, frequent sales, and solid customer service are the main reasons why Dell is at the top of our buying list for gaming laptops and PCs.
Should You Wait for Black Friday?
In most cases, we would say that Black Friday has the best deals of the year. Dell, however, is quite the opposite. Historically, Black Friday hasn’t always been the best time to buy an Alienware computer. The best time of year to score Dell deals are usually Memorial Day and during September and October, right after the back-to-school rush but about a month before actual Black Friday. Either way, the deals that are going on right now are quite good. Some of them are the best prices of the year (like the RTX 4070 Ti PC) and some are not.
