Black Friday Alienware deals 2025: everything to expect in November

Black Friday Alienware deals will return to our shelves in November, but things are going to look a little different this time around. We've got four Alienware laptops and a new Alienware PC on the shelves now, completely replacing previous lines and offering their own regular discounts day to day.

In the world of laptops, the M- and X-Series have been officially retired with the Alienware Area-51 and Aurora lines taking their place. That means we've got four machines to watch - in descending price order; the Alienware 18 Area-51, Alienware 16 Area-51, Alienware 16X Aurora, and Alienware 16 Aurora.

The world of PCs is about to receive its own intergalactic shake up as well. Black Friday Alienware deals will not only be hitting the Aurora R16, but also the Area-51 PC. This luxury chassis has already seen four-figure discounts in 2025 so far.

We track all the best Alienware laptops and the best Alienware PCs year-round for their biggest discounts, and I've been covering these annual sales for years. In all that time, I've picked up a thing or two about hunting down the highest value deals. You'll find all my tips and tricks for Black Friday Alienware deals 2025 just below.

What to expect from Black Friday Alienware deals in 2025

This year's Black Friday Alienware deals are going to look different whichever way you shake it. With new Alienware Area-51 and Aurora gaming PCs and laptops up for grabs it's all change on these shelves.

Black Friday gaming laptop deals will likely be dominated by the Alienware 16 Area-51, this is the model I've seen offering the best value in sales so far this year. However, if you're after something a little cheaper, the Aurora model has started to shift its price down in more affordable configurations as well. Just make sure you know what you're buying, the 16X Aurora offers far better value than the base 16 Aurora.

An RTX 5070 configuration of the former is usually $300 off day to day, but can take larger discounts during sale events. The price difference between the Aurora and Area-51 models is usually between $700 and $900, so there's a big step in the upgrade.

The world of PCs is a little more straightforward.

There are two models to choose between this year, though the R16 is now just 'Aurora'. Dell has kept the naming conventions between its towers and laptops, though we've only got two tiers to choose from here. An RTX 5080 configuration of the Aurora sits at between $2,700 and $3,200 when on sale, whereas the Area-51 desktop will run you between $3,400 and $4,500 for the GPU.

These are day to day prices, but I'm expecting slightly more off those final rates when Black Friday officially kicks up.

Does Alienware have a Black Friday sale?

You bet. Dell runs its own excellent Black Friday sale every year, and its discounts on Alienware gaming laptops, PCs, and accessories are among the best on the site. We usually see early offers landing around the start of November, with real flash sales kicking off on the big day itself.
