Why you should buy the Alienware Aurora R16

Every configuration of the Aurora R16 is an absolute powerhouse, but this offer applies to one of the fully loaded trims. This includes an Intel Core i7 (that delivers max clock speeds of 5.4GHz), an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 GPU with 8GB of GDDR6 memory, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage. From network-heavy online gaming to the most intense multimedia workflows you can muster, the Aurora R16 is primed to tackle any challenge. There’s a reason the Aurora R16 tops our list of the best gaming PCs.

One of the most important things to consider with any gaming hardware is how you’re going to keep the components cool and ventilated. Once tech starts overheating, hard drives and other core peripherals start failing. Alienware is up on all this, though, which is why the Aurora R16 features much larger passageways and improved venting. Alienware even claims the R16 should run 20% quieter than the previous R15 model.

Regardless of the monitor you’re using (and we have a whole list of monitor deals to peruse), the Aurora R16 has every port you can imagine, including HDMI 2.1, USB-C, Gigabit Ethernet, and a bevy of audio connections. You’ll also be able to customize RGB lighting and monitor gameplay and PC settings and performance with Alienware’s Command Center software.

While we’re unsure how long this offer is going to stick around, there’s the potential it could be gone tomorrow. So, if you want to save big, now might be the best time to knock $250 off your purchase of the Alienware Aurora R16 at Dell. We also have lists of the best gaming PC deals and gaming laptop deals for you to look through.

Back-to-school desk upgrade? Start with one of these monitor arms
Whether you're studying, coding, or gaming after class, these are the monitor arms I'd happily recommend.
The Best Monitor Arms for Back-to-School That I'd Actually Recommend - HUANUO FlowLift Dual Monitor Stand

Dorm rooms and study desks have one thing in common: they run out of space fast. Between textbooks, notebooks, keyboards, coffee mugs, and laptop chargers, a monitor's stock stand often ends up taking more room than it should. A good monitor arm instantly frees up valuable desk space while also putting the screen at a much more comfortable height, making long study sessions easier on the neck and shoulders. Whether it's a simple single-monitor setup or a dual-screen workstation, these are the monitor arms I'd actually recommend for Back-to-School.

Researchers have built a tool that can identify the AI used to make a fake video
Every AI video generator leaves behind subtle, distinct patterns, and this new tool learned to read them.

AI-generated videos have gotten so realistic that spotting a fake is difficult enough on its own. Figuring out which AI model actually created it is even harder. That's exactly why researchers at UC Riverside built a tool that can do both. It's called SAGA, and it can trace a fake video back to the specific AI model that generated it.

The project was led by UC Riverside doctoral researcher Rohit Kundu and electrical and computer engineering professor Amit K. Roy-Chowdhury, in collaboration with researchers from YouTube and Google DeepMind.
