Best Alienware deals: Gaming PCs, laptops, and monitors

If you’re looking for a high-end gaming brand that is similar to Apple or Razer, then one of the oldest ones is Alienware, and it’s probably one of the first proper gaming brands that appeared on the market. Since then, it has really boomed into a dozen different excellent gaming gear, and that includes some of the best gaming laptops, gaming PCs, headsets, and even gaming chairs. Of course, being a premium brand, Alienware gear can get pretty prices, so you’re going to want to snag one of the Alienware deals we’ve collected 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.

Everybody loves a good set of clicky mechanical switches, but if you’re the sort of person who doesn’t like the really tall keys you tend to find in most keyboards, this low-profile keyboard from Alienware is an excellent option. It uses the same MX Red switches you might be familiar with, so it still feels the same, plus it has both anti-ghosting and N-key rollover, which are excellent. While not as big a deal, it does also have media keys, so if you like having that sort of quick shortcut, that’s another big positive of Alienware’s mechanical keyboard.

A gaming headset is a great way to keep in touch with your friends while you play. The Alienware AW520H gaming headset may be wired, but it’s still an excellent option if you want a high-end set of headphones for a relatively budget-friendly price. It has a built-in microphone for outgoing communications, as well as Dolby Atmos, Surround Sound, and Stereo Sound options to help immerse you in the game and incoming communications.

If you’ve already got one of the best gaming laptops or a gaming PC you find yourself happy with, you should consider enhancing the experience with a gaming monitor. This Alienware 27-inch gaming monitor comes in at QHD resolution, which is halfway between Full HD and 4K resolution. This will make things sharp and contrasty, and a 240Hz refresh rate will ensure you can get through even the most action-packed games without having to deal with image tearing or lag.

Alienware 500Hz 25-inch Gaming Monitor — $500, was $650

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,

Alienware’s know-how and impressive hardware combinations really show up with this build of the Alienware m16 gaming laptop. It has 1TB of solid state storage space for housing anything you may have your eye on among the best upcoming PC games. It also has specs like a 16-core Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor, 32GB of RAM, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card, all of which will make it a relevant laptop for some time to come. It has Alienware’s design know-how in its cooling system too, which will allow you to game for long stretches without having to worry about overheating or throttling.

The Alienware Aurora R16 is the updated version of the Aurora R15 customizable gaming desktop, but this build packs the power to compete with many of the best gaming PCs. This is a good option for new gamers, or anyone looking to build their first gaming PC. It has plenty of power to get you going, with an Intel Core i7 14700F processor, 32GB of RAM, and a 2TB drive coming together with Windows 11. It also has a powerful graphics card in the form of the RTX 4070 Super, which is great for gaming at 2K

If you’re the type of person who really appreciates having a large screen, then this massive 18-inch Alienware laptop is probably perfect for you. It runs a 1920 x 1200 resolution, can hit a whopping 165Hz refresh rate, and even has Nvidia G-Sync, which is relatively rare to find on laptops. As for gaming performance, you get an RTX 4070, which should be great for running the screen, although you may not hit that high a refresh rate without some graphical compromises. You also get an excellent Intel Core i9 14900HX processor, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and 1TB of storage, so more than enough to give you an overall smooth experience.
