Dell Deal Alert: First Discounts on the 2022 Alienware Aurora R13 Intel Alder Lake RTX 30 Series Gaming PCs

For the first time ever, Dell has significantly marked down the price of select 2022 Alienware Aurora R13 gaming PC configs. Dell’s new flagship gaming PC sports a number of aesthetic, quality of life, and performance improvements over its predecessors. In terms of future proofing, the Alienware Aurora R13 is the first Alienware PC to come equipped with the newest 12th gen Intel Alder Lake processors. The Alder Lake processors are currently the best gaming CPUs on the market, better than the AMD Ryzen offerings. That’s paired with a Z690 based motherboard that accepts DDR5 RAM and an RTX 30 series GPU. The two models discounted today are equipped with graphics cards on the opposite sides of the spectrum: the budget RTX 3060 and the best-in-class RTX 3080 Ti.

This model features an air-cooled Intel Core i7-12700F 12-core processor, 16GB of DDR5-4400MHz RAM, a generously sized 1TB SSD, and the new RTX 3060 GPU. The RTX 3060 is no slouch; its performance is superior to the RTX 2060 SUPER and almost matches the RTX 2070 SUPER in some games. It will easily handle all of your games at up to 1440p.

New Alienware Aurora R13 Intel Core i9-12900KF Alder Lake RTX 3080 Ti Gaming PC

Get this rig if you want to outperform 99% of gaming PCs out there. This model features a liquid-cooled unlocked Intel Core i9-12900KF 16-core processor, 32GB of DDR5-4400MHz RAM, a 1TB SSD, and an additional 1TB HDD for storage. It has also been upgraded with a 750W power supply and a windowed side panel to show off the internals. The RTX 3080 Ti is the most powerful GPU that gamers should consider buying. The RTX 3090 is technically slightly more powerful (about 3%), but it’s also hundreds of dollars more expensive. The RTX 3080/Ti are the cards to get if you plan to game in 4K.

Alienware AW3423DW 34″ QD-OLED Gaming Monitor

The first QD-OLED panel on the market

After much anticipation, Dell is now offering the Alienware AW3423DW 34″ QD-OLED gaming monitor for $1299.99 on its website. Although by no means inexpensive, this is the first ever QD-OLED monitor we’ve seen and thus the price point is surprisingly reasonable for the new tech. Undoubtedly due to the hype, it has been going in and out of stock throughout the day, so don’t hesitate if you’ve been waiting for this release. The estimated delivery date has already been extended all the way out to April 30.

QD-OLED technology was a big hit at this year’s CES and Samsung earned the “Best of Innovation 2022” award for it. The QD OLED panel uses quantum dot technology to more efficiently produce higher peak brightness levels compared to traditional OLED TVs without losing the color accuracy and range and wide viewing angles that OLEDs are known for. Although Samsung is the one that publicized the new technology, it is Alienware that will be deputing it first to the consumer market with this AW3423DW monitor.
