Why you should buy the Alienware Aurora R16

You should note that the configuration of the Alienware Aurora R16 on sale today is a sort of super version of the one covered in our Aurora R16 review, though most aspects are similar. One thing to note from the review, in particular, is that our reviewer found that “the Aurora R16 sacrifices very little by being a prebuilt.” This means that you don’t need to be a BIOS-understanding, static-electricity defying computer wizard to get a great final product. Its also worth pointing out just how good and reserved this PC looks, especially when compared to the overly bright and flashy competition. This PC looks fun, but it is also a step in the right direction maturity-wise. Finally, for the biggest difference between the review model and the one on sale, the graphics card, be sure to check out our RTX 4080 Super review, which covers that component specifically.

Once again, the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming desktop is usually $3,200, a number that can be hard to stomach. However, right now it is yours for just $2,500. That represents a savings of $700 or around 22% off, and it can be yours if you tap the button below. If that’s still too much for you, or you wish to shop the field a bit, please check out our gaming PC deals guide. It was updated just yesterday, is a fantastic piece of writing, and really works to guide you through the process of getting a gaming PC that you’ll be truly happy with.
