The Alienware Aurora R13 gaming desktop is ideal for PC gamers who don't want to spend thousands. It has a 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of memory, and 256GB of SSD storage. We'd prefer to see more storage but if you just play a few different games, it's perfectly suitable. More important is the graphics card -- the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT which should be fine for most games. You also get a great case that offers tool-less access for any time you want to upgrade something. A better cooling system is also included compared to previous generations.

If you've always liked the look of the Apple MacBook Pro 16 but don't necessarily want to get into the Apple ecosystem, the Dell XPS lineup is Dell's answer and a great alternative. Of course, the XPS laptops also cost quite a bit, but luckily, Dell has a great deal on the XPS 17 for its Black Friday in July sale, bringing it down to $2,999 from $3,549, which is rather substantial.

Why you should buy the Dell XPS 17 Laptop
For a laptop that costs just under $3,000, the Dell XPS 17 is powerful and surprisingly versatile, allowing you to game, work, edit, program, and do anything you want. For example, if you're going to game, this version of the Dell XPS 17 has an impressive RTX 4070, which performs similarly to the RTX 3080 with similar pricing and is great for playing games at 2k at 100+ frames. Luckily, the 17-inch screen has a UHD+ resolution so that you can push graphical quality with most games, such as Elden Ring and Diablo 4. The monitor can also hit 500 nits of peak brightness, which means you can use it everywhere except where direct sunlight is hitting the screen.
