If you’re looking for an entry-level gaming rig, then this configuration of the Aurora R16 comes with an RTX 4060, which is a budget-oriented, yet still excellent 1080p gaming GPU. You actually get a lot of other great specs here, including a whopping 32GB of RAM, an Intel Core i7 14700F CPU and 1 TB of storage.

Alienware Aurora R16 with an RTX 4070 Ti Super — $2,000 $2,400 17% off

While this isn’t quite the configuration our lead hardware report Jacob Roach tested out, he felt that “there’s no denying the Aurora R16 is a massive leap forward for Alienware.” This configuration has the much better RTX 4070 Ti Super, which brings you into the 2K gaming category, and you also get bumped up to an Intel Core i9 14900F, all with a $400 discount.

Alienware Aurora R16 with an RTX 4090 — $3,100 $3,700 16% off

If you want to play at 4K, then you’ll need the best configuration that the Aurora R16 has, or close to it, since it comes with an RTX 4090 under the hood. It’s the best GPU on the market, even though it’s overpriced, but at least you do get $600 knocked off the price, as well as some other great specs like 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage.

How to Choose an Alienware Gaming PC on Black Friday

Last year, Alienware offered several options when it came to gaming PCs in the form of the Aurora R13, R15, and the newer R16. This year, only the R16 is on offer, so if you’re looking to buy a new gaming PC, then one of the many Aurora R16 configurations is the way to go. Luckily, you have a lot of options, but for the most part, you’re going to be picking the sort of GPU you want, and a lot of that will also depend on what resolution and refresh rate you want to game on.

For 1080p gaming, the RTX 4060 and RTX 4070 series are great options, and the latter is good for higher refresh rates or even potentially 2K resolutions. The RTX 4080 lineup is also a solid 2K GPU, especially for higher resolutions, although it can be pushed to 4K if needed. As for the RTX 4090, that’s purely a 4K card, and using it for anything less would be a shame unless you’re trying to push insane refresh rates like 300-500Hz. So, ultimately, a lot of your picks depend on the monitor resolution and refresh rate and what sort of budget you’re going for.

How We Chose these Alienware Gaming PC Black Friday deals

Since there are so many configurations to pick from, we did our best to give you an entry-level option, a mid-range option and the best option when it comes to the Aurora R16, so that you can really pick the specs that work for you. The same goes for the Alienware monitors, where we picked a couple of options in various resolutions so that you can pick what you want to prioritize.

Beyond that, we also did our best to find the best deals possible using our experience as reviewers and deal hunters, so that when you snag any deal, you know that you’re getting the best price and buying with confidence.

Dell XPS 14 laptop on its side

For great laptop deals, you can always count on Dell. All I'm going to say about this next deal is that it's so good, I want one. Today, it has a huge $550 off the Dell XPS 14, which is a consistently popular laptop for many good reasons. That means you pay $950 instead of $1,500, which is great for what it has to offer. One of the better Dell laptop deals around, this laptop is perfect for general use and also looks super stylish while you’re working in a nearby coffee shop. If that sounds appealing to you, it should. Keep reading and you can learn all about what the Dell XPS 14 has to offer.

Why you should buy the Dell XPS 14
As our Dell XPS 14 review explains, the laptop has a momentous design along with an excellent haptic trackpad and quiet yet cool performance. While it has limited ports and it's usually quite expensive, that’s less of an issue when there’s a $550 discount involved. This particular model has an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor, 16GB of memory, and 512GB of SSD storage. Those are all the essentials you could need, although a little part of us would prefer to see 1TB at this price range.
