We are now tracking a deal at Dell that gets you Alienware’s latest Aurora R16 gaming desktop with Ultra 9 285/32GB/1TB/5080 config for $2,470.23 shipped. That’s $430 less than its usual going rate of $2,900 and the lowest we have seen this model dip to date since its debut.

You are looking at one of the latest Aurora R16 desktops carrying NVIDIA’s latest RTX 50-series GPUs. The model discounted today comes packed with an RTX 5080 GPU which is equipped alongside Intel’s Ultra 9 processor. Dell has also packed this machine with 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 1TB SSD, so it’s safe to say this PC should be able to handle pretty much all modern titles at max graphics settings without any issues, especially when you take advantage of NVIDIA’s latest DLSS upscaling technology. The R16 desktop also stands out with its sleek chassis design, customizable RGB lighting, efficient cooling options – air or AIO – and a versatile selection of ports.

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.
