Dell Alienware Deals

Alienware AW341BDW Utrawide Gaming Monitor
Rich Shibley/Digital Trends
  • Alienware AW3418DW 34-inch curved gaming monitor: A good curved monitor like the awesome Alienware AW3418DW is one of the easiest ways to take your immersion to the next level. This beefy 34-inch display is sleek and modern without being garish, and boasts great color and contrast for a crisp, vibrant picture. G-Sync mitigates irritating screen-tearing and you can even overclock the 100Hz refresh rate to 120Hz for better responsiveness. A whopping $520 discount knocks the Alienware 34-inch curved monitor down to $980.
  • Alienware AW2518HF 25-inch gaming monitor: If the curved monitor gave you sticker shock, then the Alienware AW2518HF is a fantastic “bang for buck” option. At 25 inches, this gaming display hits that “Goldilocks” sweet spot in size while still offering Full HD resolution and a hugely impressive 240Hz refresh rate (one of the reasons why it’s one of our favorite G-Sync monitors). It won’t cost you a fortune, either: A $120 savings brings the Alienware 25-inch monitor to $380.
  • Alienware 17 gaming laptop: The main advantage of a gaming laptop is that it’s portable, but that doesn’t mean it has to be small: A 17-inch machine like the Alienware 17 is big enough to be a desktop replacement, and its beefy hardware (featuring an 8th-gen i7 CPU, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and GTX 1070 graphics card) lets this laptop do some seriously heavy lifting. The Alienware 17 would normally set you back $2,300, but a tidy $450 discount lets you nab this mighty VR-ready laptop for $1,850.
  • Alienware M15 gaming laptop: If the Alienware 17 is a bit over-sized for your on-the-go-gaming needs, then the 15-inch 1080p 144Hz display of the M15 is a more traditional (and backpack-friendly) choice. An 8th-generation Intel i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and Nvidia GTX 1060 GPU mean this excellent machine easily handles modern games at high settings, and you get a snappy 512GB SSD paired with a 1TB HDD for plenty of storage. The Dell sale saves you $210 on the Alienware M15, which rings in at $1,800 with free shipping.

The real reason so many laptops have moved to soldered RAM
The Intel 12th-gen Mainboard upgrade for the Framework Laptop.

The completely redesigned Dell XPS 14 and 16 came out this year as two of the most divisive laptops in recent memory. No, it wasn't just the capacitive touch buttons or invisible trackpad that caused an uproar -- it also moved to soldered RAM. This was a big change from the past, where the XPS 15 and 17 were both celebrated for their upgradability.

Of course, Dell isn't the first to make the transition. In fact, they're one of the last, which is what makes the decision so much tougher to swallow. Where soldered RAM was previously limited to just MacBooks and ultrabooks, it's now affecting most high-performance laptops for gaming as well. Even the fantastic ROG Zephyrus G14 moved to soldered memory this year.

Acer gets serious about 14-inch gaming laptops
Somebody playing a game on Acer Nitro 16

The 14-inch category of gaming notebooks is getting quite the traction. We recently saw the HP Omen Transcend 14, the company’s first attempt at making a compact yet premium gaming laptop, and a redesign of the popular Zephyrus G14 from Asus. Now, Acer is bringing two new models under its Predator and Nitro brandings.

The new Nitro 14 will be available with the latest AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS or the Ryzen 5 8645HS, which are the same chips as last year but with some added AI capabilities. The 14.5-inch display uses an IPS panel, and customers can choose between either a 1200p and a 1600p resolution model, both of which are capable of 100% sRGB coverage and a 120Hz refresh rate.

Playing PC games on a Snapdragon X Elite laptop made me a believer
A reference Snapdragon X Elite Laptop running Steam

There's a lot of promise with the upcoming wave of laptops powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite chip. I've already seen plenty of benchmarks that prove Qualcomm is onto something huge, with the GPU and NPU performance of the chip being quite powerful. Benchmarks have even shown that it can be double as fast as Intel's latest Arc graphics in the Core Ultra chips.

But those are just benchmarks in simulated scenarios. I really wanted to see it to believe it, and recently, at an event in New York, I did just that. I spent some hands-on time with reference laptops running the Snapdragon X Elite.
