The official Dell Store is currently hosting an 'Intel Gamer Days' sale, with up to $830 off a number of the brand's high-end Alienware gaming laptops.

Naturally, I've been perusing the discounts today, and I think this Alienware 16X Aurora for $1,529 (was $1,979) is the obvious pick if you're on the hunt for a new machine.

The ongoing components crisis has sent laptop prices spiraling in recent times, but I actually think you're getting a good deal here. The Alienware 16X Aurora is one of our favorite models from the brand, with our review calling it 'wonderfully designed'.

We checked out the 1440p RTX 5070 configuration, but today's deal is on the entry-level RTX 5060 model with a Core 7 chipset, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. While not quite as high-end as the one we tested, these are still great specs for everyday gaming on even relatively demanding titles.

And, I've saved the best feature for last. This particular Alienware Aurora 16x features a stunning 240Hz OLED display, which is something that sets it apart from the usual gaming laptops in this price range. This high-end component is fantastic for not only games, but also movies, shows, and other forms of content.

The Alienware Aurora 16x is one of our favorite laptops from the well-known brand. It's lightweight, stylish, and provides more than enough performance in-game to power its stunning 240Hz OLED display. While a little pricey for a gaming laptop with these specs, the 16x is truly a 'do-it-all' laptop if you want a machine that covers all the bases.
