Black Friday Alienware deals offer big savings on high-end rigs every year. Sure, there will be plenty of sales to take advantage of between now and November, but Black Friday is the Super Bowl of these discounts. If you're curious as to what you can expect from this year's offerings, we're rounding up everything you need to know right here. 

2023 is already shaping up to be different. With CES launching the new Alienware x16 and M18 models, and no sign of a refresh to the x15 or x17 lines in sight, there's plenty to get excited about. While these newer devices might not see the rock-bottom prices of older releases, there's still plenty of time for them to gather some age before the real discounts begin. Plus, with the smaller machines not receiving a 2023 refresh (at least so far), we can expect prices to fall even further in this category as well. 

Of course, if you're after a desktop PC it's going to be all about maximizing your graphics power for your cash. RTX 40-Series GPUs will have bedded themselves into the mainstream by the time Black Friday Alienware deals roll around for 2023. That means excellent value for money and a long-lasting, future-proofed rig for those who can time it right. 

Whether you're after Black Friday gaming laptop deals or Black Friday gaming PC deals, 2023 is going to be a very interesting year for Alienware. 

When will Black Friday Alienware deals begin?

Inline with the rest of this year's Black Friday gaming deals, official discounts will land on November 24. However, that's just the sales with the Black Friday label on them. We see many of the same prices popping up in the weeks leading up to the main event, and often most frequently over Thanksgiving week. That means it's well worth jumping on a price you like ahead of time - competition is lower and you've got more of a shot at that crashing flash sale.

What to expect from Black Friday Alienware PC deals

Alienware Aurora R13 review

(Image credit: Future)

Black Friday Alienware PC deals will land on the Aurora R13, R14 and R15 this year. The latter two models are the most recent but, despite being older, we still see regular discounts (and plenty of stock) when it comes to the R11 and R13 as well. We'd recommend taking a look at this model if you're after a cheaper 11th generation rig - after all, we've seen those prices crashing down in recent months. Despite being one of the best Alienware PCs on the market, this model often offers the best value overall. 

The AMD R14 and new R15 are going to be priced a little higher in November, but we're still confident in three-figure savings. The biggest value is found in the mid-range here, as we often see higher value graphics cards and larger RAM sizes priced only slightly higher than entry level configurations when on sale. You'd do best to price match between retailers here, though, as there will be plenty of different versions floating around with different discounts on the day. 

What to expect from Black Friday Alienware laptop deals

Alienware M15 R7 gaming laptop

(Image credit: Future)

There are two main Alienware laptop categories to look at in this year's sales; new and old. In the former camp we have the Alienware x16 and M18. These are both 2023 releases, and pack some seriously powerful components. However, the X15, X17 and M15 series' should also offer us plenty to think about this year. So far, we haven't heard anything about a 2023 refresh to these lines, which means serious discounts on aging hardware when it comes to Black Friday Alienware deals. 

If you're after something a little cheaper, it's worth expanding your search to other retailers. Dell itself doesn't carry too much stock of its previous generation laptops, so the best Black Friday Alienware deals on the M15 R5/6 and the original versions of the x15 and x17 will likely be found at other retailers. Still, we've seen that M15 line drop under $1,000 for brief sales in the past, so there will likely be some excellent value here.
