By

As a brand, Alienware has been around for decades, and it makes some of the highest-end gear on the market, and that includes the best gaming laptops, gaming PCs, headsets, and even gaming chairs. In effect, it’s very similar to Apple in that it is a premium brand of premium products, which also means that it can sometimes cost and arm and a leg to grab an Alienware product. Luckily, there are a lot of great deals floating around, whether from Dell directly or other retailers like Amazon and Best Buy. As such, we’ve collected some of our favorite Alienware deals below.

On the other hand, if you can’t quite find what you’re looking for below, you can also check out these other great gaming laptop deals and gaming PC deals, too.

If you really value an incredibly fast refresh rate for something like competitive esports, then the aptly named Alienware AW2524H is what you’re looking for. It can do an incredible 500Hz refresh rate, which we’re not even sure is possible without having an RTX 4090 and bumping all the graphical specs and resolution as low as they can go. That probably is the case given it’s a smaller 25-inch screen where a lower resolution doesn’t matter as much,

Students using Microsoft Office software on their laptops outside.

Even though there's a whole argument about Microsoft vs. Google and which is the best productivity suite to use, it can't be denied that both are pretty big. Of course, while Google is generally free, if you rely on the Microsoft ecosystem, then you're likely to have to spend a pretty penny to get it. Luckily, there are some options to get Microsoft Office and Microsoft 365 for cheaper, with some solid deals across various categories and while you can get a ffree trial of Microsoft Word, that's not really the same, so be sure to check out our favorite deals below.
Best Microsoft Office deals
Microsoft Office is a pay once, receive once service. You don't have to pay recurring monthly fees to use it, but the software also never updates. For what it's worth, the Microsoft Office packages are labelled "2021", so they're all fairly recent but also ripe for a good deal. With the exception of AI integrations, not much has really changed in the past couple of years when it comes to your basic document creation and these programs should continue to be effective for years to come. Depending on what package you get, you'll get access to different apps, based on the needs of the target audience. For example, Microsoft Office Home & Student 2021 keeps it lean and cool and with Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint being the only apps included.

Here are our favorite deals for the classic Microsoft Office experience:
