$400 off/$2,050

While you can still save up to $800 on Alienware’s Area-51 gaming desktop with RTX 50-series GPUs, we just spotted another solid deal that saves you up to $400 on the brand’s Aurora R16 desktops. These are a touch lighter on your wallet compared to the Area-51 machines, and they now start at $2,049.99 shipped. The most affordable Aurora R16 model of the lot gets you the Ultra 7 265KF/32GB/1TB/5070 config, which is now $200 off its usual going rate of $2,250. Alternatively, you can also get the Ultra 9 285/32GB/1TB/5080 config for $2,499.99 shipped. That’s $400 less than its usual going rate of $2,900, and the lowest we can find for this machine. Head below for more details.

The latest Aurora R16 desktops are similar to the previous-gen models that we’ve featured a lot around here. These are some solid machines powered by Intel’s latest Core Ultra 7 and Ultra 9 processors, and you can get them with up to 32GB RAM and 1TB SSDs. Both models with an RTX 5070 and an RTX 5080 GPU are currently discounted, so you can pick between the two based on your budget. They both support NVIDIA’s latest version of DLSS upscaling and are powerful enough to run pretty much all modern games out there without any issues. Other highlights of the Aurora R16 desktop include a beautiful chassis that’s fitted with either an air cooler or an AIO to tame the CPU, some tasteful RGB lighting, a good set of ports, and more.

Alienware’s pro-grade gaming mouse is also down to its lowest price today at $90. This is the brand’s lightest gaming mouse and it’s down from its usual price of $150.

Alienware Aurora R16 gaming desktop features:

• The 240mm heat exchanger, available on the optional CPU liquid cooling, heightens thermal resistance, ensuring temperatures stay consistently low during longer gaming sessions.​
• The Alienware Aurora R16 is our first gaming desktop to include the revamped Alienware Command Center software, where you can create and edit AlienFX lighting across the ecosystem, choose and monitor your performance mode across distinct power states, and create custom gaming profiles for your whole library.
• The R16 is our first gaming desktop to showcase the elevated Legend 3 industrial design, which is meant to prioritize a more minimal, optimized chassis – that is sleek and modern – with a new matte finish, Basalt Black.
• Our new industrial design is echoed by the overall compact and functional size of the system, which is about 40% smaller by volume than the Aurora R15.
