Huge Savings on Laptops, Gaming PCs & Monitors

The high-end option here is a bit more nitche, but if you’re looking for incrimental improvements that add up, the £2,049 Alienware 18 Area 51 is for you. Compared to the $500 cheaper 16X Aurora, you get an extra 2-inch on your screen with a 60Hz refresh rate upgrade to 300Hz and slightly faster DDR5 RAM, upgrading from 5,600 MT/s to 6,400 MT/s. The GPU is still an 8GB GDDR7 RTX 5070, and the processor has slighly different clock speeds from 2.1/5.4GHz to Area 51’s 2.4GHz/5.2GHz. In the grand scheme of things the really isn’t going to make much difference.

If you want value for money with your gaming laptop purchase, my money would be on the $1,549 Alienware 16X Aurora. An extra $500 for minimal upgrades isn’t really worth it for my personally.

Alienware Gaming Monitor Deals

If you’ve got a rig capable of 4K 60FPS performance at minimum, the Alienware 32 4K QD-OLED is a ridiculously good deal for £663.56. That’s £245.43 below the usual price and a cracking Black Friday deal. It has all the dream specs anyone would want from a gaming monitor, 4K resolution @ 240Hz and a 0.03ms response time backed up by a gorgeous 32-inch HDR-capable OLED display.

It’s also G-SYNC and VESA Adaptive Sync compatible with 1 DisplayPort that supports 1.4 and 2.3, 2x HDMI 2.1 and 2 USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports. You can even adjust the height, tilt and swivel with built in cable management and RGB light at the back. It literally is the perfect monitor

Budget-wise, Alienware 27-inch gaming monitor has all the decent 1440p specifications you need for PC gaming for £153.30. Nvidia G-Sync, AMD FreeSync and Vesa AdaptiveSync are all supported, with 2 HDMI Ports and 1 Display Port 1.4. 2ms GTG (Super Fast Setting) response time is well within the limits of what you’d want too, all for £65.70 less than RRP. It’s not got the flashy OLED screen, but it’s a 27-inch Fast IPS screen for the cost of a couple of AAA games, not a bad deal at all.

Looking for something that packs more punch for a slightly higher price point? the 27-inch AW2723DF is the way to go. You’re looking at a 1440p screen still, but this bad bow has a higher 240Hz refresh rate and a much better 1ms Response Time. The screen itself is still 27-inch but it’s a nano color fast IPS screen, meaning you’re going to get more refined and accurate colour representation. For me this is the best 1440p option that builds on the budget 27-inch gaming monitor in every way.

Dell Laptop Deals

Now I’ve got all that gaming excitement out of my system, let’s concentrate on the workhorses for the grown ups (Oh hi Peter Pan syndrome). If you want something that’s going to pack more of a punch than a Chromebook that runs Windows and is ideal for web surfing, day-to-day tasks and streaming, Dell 15 at £268.99 is a solid budget laptop.

It has enough RAM and storage to get things done, and the UHD integrated Intel graphics are going to make everything look nice. It’s not going to do much else, but if you’re not bothered about running photoshop and getting basic tasks done it doesn’t matter.

If you want something mid-range that will fit most use cases bar anything outside of indie gaming, Dell 14 Plus 2-in-1 is a cool choice for £499. Again, it’s going to cover day-to-day tasks including streaming, and is a good option for digital artwork and light photo/video editing. It’s the angled tablet fold-over design that makes it perfect for drawing, although if you’re looking for something that’s going to double as a drawing tablet for heavy and professional workloads this might not be powerful enough.

XPS 13 at £1,099 is going to be more suitable for creative work, featuring a Snapdragon X Elite with a dedicated Qualcomm Adreno GPU. These new SoC (System on a Chip) setups are gaining popularity because of how efficient they are at handling local AI tasks (Processing offline on your device instead of an online server). You’re getting a much better screen, buckets of RAM. You can also get a non-touchscreen variant that will knock £100 off the final price too.

Dell Desktop Deals

For me these deals come down to two models. If you fancy something capable of handling 4K gaming with ray tracing whilst being a good all-rounder for high-demand tasks without looking like a gaming rig, Dell Tower Plus for £1,498.99 is a beast. It’s loaded with an RTX 5070, 32GB of DDR5 Ram and a Ultra 7 265 processor.

After a sleek desktop setup that saves on space? Dell 24 All-In-One is a beautiful bit of kit for under £570. The Ultra i5 processor and 16GB DDR5 RAM is plenty to make that FHD screen shine and is a great family PC option.

Dell Monitor Deals

All of these deals are pretty good budget to midrange offers, most noticably the 4K options for under £560. It just depends if you fancy 4K content or not in all honesty.
