We typically see everything from the brand’sbest gaming laptopsto high-end configurations ofAlienwareAuroragaming PCsincluded, but monitors, chairs, headsets, keyboards, and mice all play their role as well. Of course, the biggest savings are usually reserved for those high ticket items - a $1,000 saving is going to sit much better on a $4,000 gaming PC, for example. However, the budget end of the scale tends to be well served as well.

How much can you save during Alienware’s Black Friday sale?

Dell runs discounts on itsAlienware laptopsand PCs year-round, with savings usually sitting pretty competitively against the rest of the market. These are premium devices, so you’re never going to price match something like anAcer Nitro 16with anAlienware M16 R2, but considering the build quality and engineering under the hood, Dell’s own discounts regularly offer up promising value for money. Those prices tend to trickle down the scale as we get closer to Black Friday, with the retailer rotating different discounts on and off the shelves in the weeks leading up to the main event. However, it also goes particularly hard on the big day.

That means Alienware’s official Black Friday sale may well improve on the kinds of prices we’ll be seeing over the next few weeks. But it also means you’ve got less of a shot of actually securing those discounts. While Dell runs Alienware sales pretty much constantly, the actual configurations and models taking part in those discounts change much quicker than I tend to see at other stores. I regularly check back on a deal a day later to find a price change, and that’s during the low season. When Black Friday comes, these discounts move quickly.

Last year’s top Alienware deals on Black Friday itself averaged out at 21.028% off the full MSRP, though some savings were hitting highs of over 40% off in the cheaper categories. Right now, we’re off to a good start. A sample pool of deals available now versus those available over Black Friday last year shows that the average percentage saving is actually already higher in 2024 than the previous big day. Current discounts on two mid-range curved monitors, three mid-range laptops, one high-end laptop, three mid-range PCs, and two high-end PCs average out at 22.421% on the shelves at the time of writing.

That doesn’t necessarily mean things are cheaper right now than they were over last year’s Black Friday offers - you’ve got things like differences in spec configurations and the inherent value of newer models stopping us from making a black and white comparison. However, it does show that those scales are sliding a little further towards the cheaper end in 2024.
