Alienware Aurora Ryzen RTX 4090 Gaming PC $2899.99
Do you prefer to play on a dedicated tower? Navigating the options online can be a lengthy ordeal. Desk space (or lack of desk space), portability, and price point are often factors in the decision. Utility, function, and fun little extras like RGB capacities or sound-enhancing add-on devices to pair with your PC often make up the list of desired needs.
Starting this week, Dell has just dropped the price of this powerful Alienware Aurora R15 equipped with a GeForce RTX 4090 GPU for only $2899.99 shipped. This is the best Alienware deal on an RTX 4090 equipped gaming PC right now. RTX 4090 GPUs are currently difficult to find at MSRP; right now, a 4090 GPU on Amazon sells at a $300-$500 markup. If this is the GPU you really want, you might actually save money buying a prebuilt PC like this one instead of sourcing your own parts and going the DIY route.
Budget to Best: Gaming PC Laptop Deals
Gaming PC laptops are getting more powerful in smaller sizes, but they come at a price for their portability. A dedicated laptop will offer less customization than its stand-alone PC counterparts but will often be much more accessible, as you won’t have to search several places and wait for your parts to build your rig and get yourself on the go. While on the go, though, some considerations remain when picking up a gaming laptop. Portable computers equipped with the components to play the latest games are often substantially heavier than ones used for other purposes.
Alienware x16 16″ 2560×1600 (QHD+) Intel Core i7-13700H RTX 4060 Gaming Laptop with 16GB RAM, 2TB SSD
Budget to Best: PC Gaming Accessory Deals
For those staying at home, accessories that add to your home experience are everything. Speakers can be great accessories to add to your home PC, but if your monitor and devices can support it, soundbars can turn up your dedicated home gaming time.
You can score some soundbars separately or sometimes in packaged deal bundles with speakers, subwoofers, cables, mounting kits, and controllers to make those linked devices work with just a few clicks. If you’re on the go, though, you’ll want to find a headset that matches your personal brand. Like portable PC laptops vs. less portable PC home-based towers, headsets vary by price point and desired utility.
