The good news is, you don’t have to take out a loan just to have the latest and greatest in gaming. Not when the 18-inch Alienware Area-51 and this 16-inch configuration are seeing some solid price cuts. The entry-priced 2025 Alienware Area-51 configurations will be available later in the year, but this premium configuration is available now and it utilizes cutting-edge components like the new RTX 50 series laptop GPUs and a powerful Intel “Arrow Lake” Core Ultra 9 275HX mobile processor. It’s one heck of a gaming laptop, and you can save $200 right now to get your hands on an unparalleled PC gaming experience.

First impressions are everything. Which is why the ambient AlienFX lighting pulsing through the touch pad, the rear bar, and even the fans underneath is so impressive. If you want something that will turn heads, you’ve found it. Our experts haven’t reviewed this model yet, but we plan on testing it later this year. In our Sneak Peek during CES 2025 in January, Matthew Buzzi, noted that the improved thermal design from existing models is purported to move 37% more air through the chassis while also being 15% quieter. 

This is the first Alienware laptop to sport PCIe Gen 5 solid-state drives, and thanks to the inclusion of the RTX 5080 GPU, there’s a lot of power and speed to go around. Jump into recent releases like reevitalized RPG classic, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, at its highest settings and marvel at what our expert calls “a visual update of one of the most important RPGs ever made” on the 16-inch QHD+ display. 64GB of high-bandwidth RAM can multitask multiple browser tabs and applications simultaneously, even resource-intensive tasks like 3D rendering and video editing. With specs like these along with the discount, this is a can’t miss deal for this holiday weekend.
