Dell & Alienware Black Friday 2025: Save Big on Gaming PCs & Laptops

Gamers and tech enthusiasts have a golden opportunity to save significantly on Dell and Alienware products during this year’s Black Friday event. The UK market is flooded with compelling discounts across the entire range, from entry-level gaming laptops to high-performance desktops and professional workstations. Whether you’re building your first gaming rig or upgrading an existing setup, there are options to suit every budget and performance requirement without the typical brand premium.

Let’s begin with Alienware’s gaming laptop and desktop promotions. A standout budget-friendly choice is the Alienware 16 Aurora, now available for just £699. It comes equipped with an RTX 3050 graphics card. While this GPU is from an older generation, it remains quite capable for 1080p gaming. The laptop supports a modified version of DLSS 4, allowing you to use Super Resolution and Ray Reconstruction features. By running games at a lower native resolution and activating Super Resolution, you can achieve performance that exceeds standard benchmarks. With 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a competent processor, smooth frame rates in most titles are very achievable.

For those with a mid-range budget, two excellent choices are available. The Alienware Aurora Gaming Desktop is priced at £1,399, while the Alienware 16X Aurora Gaming Laptop comes in at $1,549. Both are expected to deliver similar real-world performance. It’s important to remember that mobile graphics cards don’t perform identically to their desktop versions. Therefore, choosing a laptop with a 5060Ti over a desktop with a 5070 isn’t as drastic a difference as it might seem, especially when playing at native resolutions. Both systems provide the complete DLSS 4 experience, including full upscaling, frame generation, and advanced ray tracing powered by the latest Blackwell architecture. You can expect high frame rates and maximum settings in the vast majority of games on either machine.

At the high end, the £2,049 Alienware 18 Area 51 offers incremental upgrades for enthusiasts. Compared to the 16X Aurora, you gain a larger 18-inch screen with a blistering 300Hz refresh rate (up from 240Hz) and slightly faster DDR5 RAM. The GPU remains an 8GB GDDR7 RTX 5070, and the processor sees a minor adjustment in clock speeds. For most users, these upgrades may not justify the additional £500, making the 16X Aurora the better value proposition.

Turning to monitors, Alienware has some incredible displays on sale. If your system can handle 4K gaming, the Alienware 32 4K QD-OLED is an exceptional deal at £663.56. This represents a saving of over £245. It boasts a 4K resolution, a 240Hz refresh rate, and an incredibly fast 0.03ms response time on a stunning 32-inch HDR OLED panel. It’s fully compatible with G-SYNC and VESA Adaptive Sync and includes comprehensive connectivity and ergonomic adjustments.

For a more budget-conscious option, the Alienware 27-inch gaming monitor is available for £153.30. It offers solid 1440p performance with support for G-Sync, FreeSync, and AdaptiveSync, along with a 2ms response time. If you want a superior 1440p experience, the 27-inch AW2723DF features a 240Hz refresh rate, a 1ms response time, and a nano color fast IPS screen for more accurate and vibrant colors.

Dell’s laptop deals cater to productivity and everyday use. The Dell 15, priced at £268.99, is a solid budget Windows laptop perfect for web browsing, streaming, and routine tasks. For a versatile mid-range device, the Dell 14 Plus 2-in-1 at £499 is an excellent choice for digital art, light editing, and general use, thanks to its convertible design. Professionals and creatives should look at the XPS 13 for £1,099, which features the powerful Snapdragon X Elite processor with a dedicated Adreno GPU, making it highly efficient for local AI tasks and demanding creative work. A non-touchscreen model is also available for £100 less.

In the desktop category, two models stand out. The Dell Tower Plus, at £1,498.99, is a powerful machine discreetly designed. It’s loaded with an RTX 5070, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and an Ultra 7 265 processor, making it ideal for 4K gaming with ray tracing and other intensive tasks. For a space-saving all-in-one solution, the Dell 24 All-In-One is a beautiful family PC for under £570, featuring an Ultra i5 processor and 16GB of RAM to power its FHD display brilliantly.

Finally, Dell’s monitor deals include several strong budget to mid-range options, with multiple 4K models available for under £560, giving you plenty of choice depending on your content preferences.
