Gaming laptops and gaming desktops get crazy discounts at Dell

By

The age-old debate between PC gamers is, do you go full power for the true battlestation in a desktop, or do you take it on the go with a more portable laptop and sacrifice some of that power? Honestly, with the right gaming PC deals, or gaming laptop deals, you can find a good balance between both.

We recommend holding off the big debate because Dell is offering some crazy deals on Alienware desktops and laptops right now. You can grab the Alienware Aurora R12 Gaming Desktop ( which totally looks like a big air purifier and we’re not saying that’s a bad thing) for $1,730 or $200 off. Or, you can opt for the Alienware m15 R3 Gaming Laptop, which looks nothing like an air purifier, for $1,700 or a whopping $580 off. Your choice, but either way, you get free shipping and express delivery as part of the package. Hurry though, availability is limited for both deals.

Alienware Aurora R12 Gaming Desktop – $1,730, was $1,930

Packed neatly inside Dell’s Alienware Dark Side of the Moon chassis, the Aurora R12 Gaming Desktop is an absolute powerhouse. It has an Intel Core i7 8-core processor with a 16MB cache and clock speeds up to 4.5GHz with Turbo Boost Max. There’s 16GB of dual-channel DDR4 RAM, expandable up to 128GB total for a fee, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with 8GB of dedicated GDDR6 VRAM. Additional hardware includes a 512GB solid-state drive, Dell WiFi 802.11ac, and Bluetooth 5.0, plus a free upgrade to Windows 11 when it launches. Normally $1,930, Dell is offering this beast for $200 off which drops it to $1,730 with free shipping. Can’t beat that. Act soon if you want one, when those deals are all claimed, they’re gone for good.

And Alienware m15 R3 laptop.

If you’d rather play some games in a coffee shop, at work, school, or somewhere random in your home, the Alienware m15 R3 Gaming Laptop is an awesome choice. It’s sleek, lightweight, and delightful to look at. Under the hood is a 10th-Gen Intel Core i7 6-core processor with a 12MB cache and clock speeds up to 5.0GHz with Turbo Boost. The 15.6-inch OLED UHD display supports the P3 color gamut, Tobii eye-tracking, and has a native resolution of 3840 x 2160 at 60Hz. You also get 16GB of DDR4 RAM, 512GB of storage — two  256GB SSDs in RAID0 — and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 GPU with 8GB of dedicated GDDR6 VRAM. Killer WiFi 6, Bluetooth, built-in RGB with full customization, and a free upgrade to Windows 11 are all part of the deal as well.

Prime Day is a great time to buy a new gaming laptop. Amazon has some great options, and other retailers are having their own Prime Day gaming laptop deals to compete. Dell is one of the retailers jumping in on the fun. For the next two days they have their most popular mid-budget gaming laptop, the Dell G15, on sale for just $1,100, down a cool $500 from what it usually costs. A 30% discount like that is nothing to snub your nose at. This deal will only be around until early morning Thursday, so grab it before Prime Day deals are over.

Why you should buy the Dell G15 gaming laptop

It has a 15.6-inch screen that gets up to 1080p resolution. You won't be playing 4K games on it, but everything short of that will look great. The refresh rate is 165Hz, so you can get pretty impressive frame rates. Even if you're just gaming at 60FPS, the motion will feel smooth.

Save $700 on this Alienware gaming PC with an RTX 4090
The side of the Alienware Aurora R15 desktop.

Alienware makes some of the best-looking gaming PCs on the market, evidenced by their Aurora lineup of desktops, which look like they were ripped directly off a spaceship. Combine that with some beefy specs under the hood, and you get something often prohibitively expensive, especially for this version with an RTX 4090. Luckily, Dell has a great deal that discounts the Aurora R15 down to $3,700 from $4,400, which is very substantial.

Why you should buy the Alienware Aurora R15
As mentioned in the introduction, this version of the Alienware Aurora R15 has one of the best GPUs on the market, the RTX 4090, which means you can push 4k resolutions with high graphics and refresh rate. In fact, it should handle all modern AAA games, including Cyberpunk, which is nutritiously a resource hog, at ultra settings, and potentially even with Ray Tracing on. However, you might have to use RTX DLSS to get 100+ frames per second, which is an ok compromise. Paired with the RTX 4090 is the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, easily one of the best CPUs on the market, and more than enough to not bottleneck the 4090 while still providing enough processing capacity to stream to Twitch or Youtube. It also means the Aurora R15 is very versatile as it can edit video and audio and even render 3D models in graphical software.
