This new Alienware laptop replaces the brand’s older M and X series machines, sporting a new, more toned-down design. It features a 16-inch 120Hz 2560 x 1600 IPS panel and has a stylish look overall with an anodized aluminum lid. As far as the specifications are concerned, the Alienware Aurora 16 notebook discounted today is powered by Intel’s Lunar Lake Core 7 240H processor with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD. Dell has also packed this laptop with NVIDIA’s latest GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, and it even comes with a good selection of ports including two USB-A, two USB-C, HDMI 2.1, Ethernet, a 3.5mm combo audio jack, and more.

Best Buy is also offering Lenovo’s 1TB Legion Go PC gaming handheld down at $600. This is the lowest price we have tracked for this model this year, and it’s now within $20 of its all-time low from Black Friday last year.
