Does Alienware do Black Friday sales?

Will we see savings this year?

Dell is a big players in annual sales each year, and we're already seeing Black Friday Alienware deals picking up in the last few weeks. The retailer's site plays host to doorbuster offers ahead of the main event before opening its shelves for a full discounting bonanza from the start of Thanksgiving week.

We typically see everything from the brand's best gaming laptops to high-end configurations of Alienware Aurora gaming PCs included, 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.

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

Dell runs discounts on its Alienware laptops and 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 an Acer Nitro 16 with an Alienware 16 Area-51, 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.

Dell is one of the few retailers that still plays into Black Friday's on-the-day rush ethos - incorporating flash sales that drop some of the year's best prices on high-end tech and are quickly snapped up by shoppers. Strangely, this is one of the last bastions of what Black Friday used to be - after all, most stores simply run their full Black Friday sale in the weeks leading up and only add a few extra discounts once the clock strikes midnight.

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.

Dell drops a whole wad of Black Friday gaming laptop deals and Black Friday gaming PC deals on us every year, and they often make up some of the more impressive savings to boot. If you're on the hunt for a new Alienware rig this holiday season, it's well worth keeping in touch with the brand's own retailer site for all the biggest savings.
