How to Choose an Alienware Deal on Prime Day
When it comes down to it, Alienware is targeted towards gaming, so if you’re picking up a gaming laptop or desktop, one of the most important things to consider is the GPU. For 2K gaming, the RTX 4060 and RTX 4070 are relatively good cards, although having the RTX 4080 will let you push really high refresh rates with 2K. One thing to bear in mind, though, is that mobile GPUs are one step down from the desktop versions, even if they have the same name. So, an RTX 4070m on laptops is more similar in performance to a desktop RTX 4060.
Besides that, you really want to be looking for things like a minimum of 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage since most game devs make games based on those specs, at least if you’re aiming for AA and AAA gaming. Another thing to note is that Intel has had some problems with its latest 13th and 14th gen CPUs. That said, Intel has started releasing microcode patches to fix the problem, so hopefully that shouldn’t impact your decision too much, but it’s definitely something worth being aware of. Sadly, there aren’t many, if any, AMD configurations of Alienware gear.
How We Chose These Alienware Prime Day Deals
Alienware has several configurations for each of it’s gaming laptops and desktops, so when it comes down to it, what we have to do is look through each configuration on sale and see if it’s a good asking price. Along with that, we look at things like historical pricing and contextual prices of other items in the same category. Unfortunately, Alienware is a premium brand, which means that even with a discount, you are sometimes overpaying.
Even so, if you are specifically looking for Alienware gear, then we’ve done our best to find you the best deal and configurations so you can get the best bang for your buck.
