Even laptops with lower-end RTX 50-series GPUs can cost a pretty penny. This is especially true for Alienware notebooks, which are great but often wallet-busting. Thankfully, I just found an awesome Labor Day laptop sale on a new Alienware notebook that’ll save you a lot of money and deliver a rock-solid gaming experience.
Right now, the Alienware 16 Aurora is on sale for $1,099 at Dell. That’s a nice $400 savings off this RTX 5060 gaming laptop. Best Buy previously discounted this laptop by that much, but now Dell is offering the same deal. This is certainly one of the cheapest prices you can find for an RTX 50-series laptop, and it’s well worth checking out. Here’s why.
This is a powerful machine for the price. As my colleague Darragh Murphy said, when he played games on RTX 5060 gaming laptops, we were impressed by the performance these machines can deliver. For instance, we saw graphically demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077 hit nearly 200 FPS with the frame-boosting DLSS 4 enabled.
The Intel Core i7 CPU, 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD also help the Alienware 16 Aurora deliver fantastic gaming performance. And naturally, specs like these also facilitate tasks such as video or photo editing, which is great for creatives. Of course, you can also use this laptop for everyday work, especially thanks to its full-size keyboard.
Then there’s the 16-inch LED display, featuring a sharp 2560 x 1600 resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. There are laptops with higher refresh rates, but 120Hz is about the bare minimum you’d want for a machine like this. I don’t think your eyes will complain much (if at all) over the display’s image quality and smoothness.
Overall, the Alienware 16 Aurora sets up PC gamers for quality AAA gaming, especially when you enable DLSS 4 to get the most from this machine. If you’ve had your eye on an RTX 50-series laptop, this is a deal you don’t want to miss!
