Gaming laptops can be pricey: even low-end machines now often cross the $1,000 barrier. That’s why any deal on a machine is great, leaving more room for peripherals and games. Over at Best Buy, the Alienware 16 Aurora is now available for $1,099.99, a $400 drop as it competes with Amazon Prime Day. That doesn’t bring this system budget territory, but it’s significant savings from a premium laptop brand that should let you play most games at decent settings.
We’re actively testing the 16 Aurora in our labs now, so we don’t have numbers to share at this time. The highlight is that you can get a 5060 for $1,100, as these systems often start at far higher prices. Even some RTX 5050 systems are starting at or above $1,000. So, this Aurora, which also features 32GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a 120 Hz, 2560 x 1600 screen, is worth calling out at this price.
This system is sleek, and it features a “stealth mode” that reduces RGB, silences fans, and acts a whole lot more like a standard productivity laptop. It comes in a navy blue color that stands out, but doesn’t scream that it’s a gaming machine (well, outside of the alien head logo).
If you don’t want to dive in before we go hands-on, I don’t blame you; Our review should be live in the coming weeks. But if you’re the type of person who is willing to purchase off a spec sheet, the price for these parts is pretty good, especially for a name brand.
