As part of Dell’s Early Black Friday sale, the Alienware Aurora R16 is available with impressive discounts on two configurations, each equipped with the powerful Nvidia RTX 4080 Super GPU. This GPU offers stellar 4K gaming performance with high frame rates, even with max settings and ray tracing enabled. Here are the featured models:

  • Alienware Aurora R16 with Intel Core i9-13900F, 32GB RAM, and 1TB SSD – $1,999.99 (Originally $2,799.99, save 29%)
  • Alienware Aurora R16 with Intel Core i9-14900F, 32GB RAM, and 1TB SSD – $2,099.99 (Originally $2,799.99, save 25%)

High-Performance Specs

The Alienware Aurora R16 models feature Intel’s latest processors. The Intel Core i9-14900F CPU boasts 24 cores, 32 threads, a maximum clock speed of 5.8GHz, and a 36MB cache, making it one of the most powerful CPUs available for gaming PCs. This model does not include integrated graphics, as the “F” designation indicates, but it pairs seamlessly with a discrete GPU like the RTX 4080 Super.

The RTX 4080 Super is Nvidia’s second most powerful card, offering 5-10% faster performance than its predecessor due to a higher base clock, increased CUDA cores, and greater memory bandwidth. In her review, Jacqueline Thomas states, “If you’re in the market for a 4K graphics card around $1,000, it’s hard to think of any GPU that’s a better purchase right now.”

New Alienware Aurora R16 Chassis Design

The 2024 Alienware Aurora R16 chassis is a major improvement, with a more compact design—40% smaller than previous models. It features an optimized airflow pattern that includes side intake vents and fans positioned for efficient cooling. Additionally, Dell offers an optional liquid cooling system for these configurations, which enhances performance and reduces thermal strain, a valuable upgrade over standard air cooling.

Why Choose a Dell or Alienware Gaming PC?

The Alienware Aurora R16 has earned its place among the best prebuilt gaming PCs of 2024. Not everyone has the time or resources to build their own gaming PC, and Alienware’s configurations provide excellent performance in a stylish, custom chassis. Consistent build quality, competitive pricing, and frequent sales make Dell and Alienware popular choices among gamers.

Is It Worth Waiting for Black Friday?

While Black Friday typically offers great deals, Dell often runs some of its best promotions ahead of time. Historically, Alienware PCs see excellent discounts during the lead-up to Black Friday and during other seasonal sales. If you’re considering a high-end gaming PC, Dell’s current Early Black Friday deals are worth exploring.
