Dell is changing up its discounts all the time in the lead up to Black Friday Alienware deals, which means new savings are appearing and old ones seem to be flying off the shelves. Right now, the biggest savings sit on 16-inch laptops like the M16 and X16 and, of course, the Aurora R16 itself. However, that's all subject to change - I've seen plenty of Black Friday level discounts come and go over the last few weeks, and things are only heating up.
Official holiday sales will start on November 29, but retailers like Dell have been pulling their deals forwards for years. That means you can find fantastic prices on Alienware PCs, laptops, monitors, chairs, and peripherals well in advance of the big day. I'm rounding up everything I expect to see from the full sale right here, with this week's biggest early offers just below.
If last year's discounts are anything to go by, Black Friday Alienware deals will be dominated by the Alienware Aurora desktop line. Yes, we still saw plenty of savings on M18 and M16 gaming laptops, but towers were where it was at in November 2023. With RTX 40-Series rigs taking discounts of up to $550, there was plenty for pre-built fans to take advantage of.
We track all the best Alienware laptops and the best Alienware PCs year-round for their biggest discounts, and we've been covering these annual sales for years. In all that time, I've picked up a thing or two about hunting down the highest value deals. You'll find all my tips and tricks for Black Friday Alienware deals 2024 just below.

What to expect from Black Friday Alienware deals in 2024
Black Friday Alienware deals will mostly land on the Aurora R16 this year. These models are the most recent but, despite being older, we still see regular discounts (and plenty of stock) when it comes to the R15 as well. We'd recommend taking a look at these models if you're after a cheaper 12th 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 R16 is still going to be priced a little higher in November's Black Friday gaming PC deals, 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.
Those after an Alienware laptop will be sticking with Dell for newer M16 and M18 R2 releases, but heading to other retailers like Best Buy and Amazon for older models.
Last year the M16 saw the most discounts, with an RTX 4070 configuration dipping as low as $1,399 in last year's Black Friday Alienware deals. The X16 has been a little more stubborn, shedding around $300 from its MSRP every time - but that still translates to an RTX 4080 / i9-13900HK configuration sitting at $2,999.99 during larger sales.
If you're after cheaper Black Friday gaming laptop deals, 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 Newegg or Amazon.

When will Black Friday Alienware deals start?
Inline with the rest of this year's sales official discounts will land on November 29. However, that's just the sales with the Black Friday label on them.
