The brand new Alienware Area-51 gaming laptop is barely a few months old, but you can already get a massive discount of up to $500 on several models at the official Dell Store today. Both the 16-inch and 18-inch models are on sale with an RTX 5080 and Ultra 9 configuration for $3,299 (was $3,599) and $3,299.99 (was $3,799), respectively.
Alongside a gorgeous new chassis re-designed from the ground up for superior thermal performance, the Area-51 features lovely high-end touches like RGB fans and mouse pad. On top of that, you also get a fully mechanical keyboard and QHD+ display on all configurations, which will pair well with the high-end components on offer.
Speaking of which, with an RTX 5080 on board, you'll have no issues getting superb performance out of either of these machines.
Of the two, the 16-inch machine is likely to be the more popular choice thanks to its greater portability, but today's discount on the 18-inch is well worth checking out. Note, however, that this beast of a machine weighs in at a whopping 9.56 lbs. It's best used as a desktop replacement - unless you have a strong back!
Alienware Area-51 gaming laptop deals
There's a common piece of advice I usually give our readers: always wait for a decent price cut if you want an Alienware gaming PC. Dell always has good price cuts sooner or later and that's the case again with these high-end laptops.
