Dell Rocks Memorial Day With Great Deals On Alienware And Dell PCs
by Tim Sweezy · HotHardwareDell has some awesome deals available for the Memorial Day Weekend on both desktops and laptops. The deals span from a beastly Alienware Aurora R15 gaming desktop, to a more budget friendly XPS desktop.
Alienware Aurora R15 Gaming Desktop
The Alienware Aurora R15 gaming desktop comes packed to the gills. From an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, to a potent NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, this gaming PC should be able to handle anything thrown at it.
Perhaps one of the most attractive features of this particular Alienware Aurora Rl5 is the Dark Side of the Moon additions, along with the Alienware Cryo-tech Edition CPU liquid cooling and clear side panel. Speaking of cooling, Dell says the R15 cooling system is up to 12% quieter and 62% more performant than the previous gen.
The advanced heat exchanger included with the Alienware R15 is twice the size of its predecessor, according to Dell. The advanced heat exchanger, plus 10-phase processor voltage regulation, also helps maintain turbo clocks under load and is designed to provide an overall performance boost.
The Alienware Aurora R15 gaming desktop with an AMD Ryzen 9, GeForce RTX 4090, 32GB DDR5 RAM, and 2TB SSD is currently $1,300 off for just $2,749.99.
XPS Desktop PC
For those who don’t need all the power of the Alienware Aurora R15, Dell’s XPS desktop deal might be a better option. This PC comes configured with 13th Gen Intel Core i7-13700 CPU, a GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, 16GB DDR5 RAM, and a 512GB SSD.
This XPS desktop still has enough power under the hood to handle modern gaming, and mainstream content creation. Dell touts the XPS as being customized for content creation, from photography to video editing, music production, and more.
While the XPS here comes with an air cooler on its CPU, for an additional $50 it can be upgraded to higher-performance liquid cooling. Either way, Dell says the XPS desktop was “spaciously designed to maximize airflow and reduce noise.”
Not everyone wants a room to be lit up with RGB goodness, and the XPS desktop takes that into consideration. Its tone-on-tone colors easily blend into a modern setup, providing a more sleek and business-like aesthetic.
This XPS desktop PC with an Intel Core i7-13700, GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, 16GB DDR5 RAM, and 512GB SSD is on sale for $1,099.99.
