Dell Alienware Deals

Alienware AW341BDW Utrawide Gaming Monitor

  • Alienware AW3418DW 34-inch curved gaming monitor: A good curved monitor like the awesome Alienware AW3418DW is one of the easiest ways to take your immersion to the next level. This beefy 34-inch display is sleek and modern without being garish, and boasts great color and contrast for a crisp, vibrant picture. G-Sync mitigates irritating screen-tearing and you can even overclock the 100Hz refresh rate to 120Hz for better responsiveness. A whopping $520 discount knocks the Alienware 34-inch curved monitor down to $980.
  • Alienware AW2518HF 25-inch gaming monitor: If the curved monitor gave you sticker shock, then the Alienware AW2518HF is a fantastic “bang for buck” option. At 25 inches, this gaming display hits that “Goldilocks” sweet spot in size while still offering Full HD resolution and a hugely impressive 240Hz refresh rate (one of the reasons why it’s one of our favorite G-Sync monitors). It won’t cost you a fortune, either: A $120 savings brings the Alienware 25-inch monitor to $380.
  • Alienware 17 gaming laptop: The main advantage of a gaming laptop is that it’s portable, but that doesn’t mean it has to be small: A 17-inch machine like the Alienware 17 is big enough to be a desktop replacement, and its beefy hardware (featuring an 8th-gen i7 CPU, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and GTX 1070 graphics card) lets this laptop do some seriously heavy lifting. The Alienware 17 would normally set you back $2,300, but a tidy $450 discount lets you nab this mighty VR-ready laptop for $1,850.
  • Alienware M15 gaming laptop: If the Alienware 17 is a bit over-sized for your on-the-go-gaming needs, then the 15-inch 1080p 144Hz display of the M15 is a more traditional (and backpack-friendly) choice. An 8th-generation Intel i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and Nvidia GTX 1060 GPU mean this excellent machine easily handles modern games at high settings, and you get a snappy 512GB SSD paired with a 1TB HDD for plenty of storage. The Dell sale saves you $210 on the Alienware M15, which rings in at $1,800 with free shipping.

Why new OLED gaming monitors still can’t beat the best from last year
alienware 34 qd oled aw3423dw review 4

OLED gaming monitors are all the rage this year. I've reviewed nearly all the best of them, and although we're getting more, I have a pretty good idea about what 2023 holds in this developing space.

And yet, I still haven't found a display that trounces last year's Alienware 34 QD-OLED. I'm not going to pretend it's perfect -- I've complained about its insistent burn-in prompts in the past, for example. But it's the gold standard, and as I'll explain, its strengths go beyond what you can see on a spec sheet.
It's not a TV, it's a monitor

This ingenious concept fixes the biggest problem with gaming laptops
The Compal concept laptop showing how heat would move through the hinge.

All high-powered laptops share one problem: cooling. But this fascinating concept from a Taiwanese manufacturer, Compal, demonstrates a unique way of sidestepping that issue.

As spotted by Liliputing, this new concept laptop design takes all the guts of the laptop and builds it into a secondary hinge on the back of the laptop. This gives the screen a floating hinge in the style of the Surface Laptop Studio or an iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard -- and, in theory, this also allows for improved cooling without the vents being blocked by the bottom of your laptop.
