The Dell Intel Gamer Days Sale is now live, and that means some welcome discounts on Alienware gaming PCs. The biggest price drops I've seen so far are on a couple of Alienware 16X Aurora gaming laptops. Both are newer 2026 editions, with the RTX 5060 model starting at $1,529.99 and the RTX 5070 Ti model starting at $2,699.99. The 16X Aurora is Alienware's best selling premium laptop; it features a sleek aluminum body, high quality OLED display, the newest Intel Core Ultra processor, and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 series discrete graphics. It also comes with two free games.
Alienware has two mainstream laptop models - the 16X and 16 Aurora. Of the two, the 16X Aurora is the model I would recommend for most gamers. It has a higher price tag but the upgrades more than make up for the relatively small price premium. Here's a list of all of the improvements:
The new 2026 edition has some very welcome upgrades like an OLED display and Intel's latest Core Ultra HX Plus series processors. Compared to other Alienware laptops, the 16X Aurora is designed to look less like a gamer's laptop. It boasts a sleek, understated design with the absence of extraneous visual-only embellishments or unnecessary RGB lighting outside of the keyboard illumination. This is a solidly built machine with a metal (magnesium alloy) chassis and anodized aluminum lid and bottom shell. The keyboard deck is made out of a sturdy composite plastic so that your hands don't get too hot or sweaty. Under the hood, the 16X Aurora packs a punch with powerful components and Cryo Chamber cooling.
The RTX 5060 (mobile) offers solid performance at a reasonable price. It should run most games at 60fps even with the Alienware's upgraded 1600p resolution, especially if the game supports DLSS 4.5. The Alienware 16X Aurora does not throttle its GPU, meaning you'll get the maximum power delivered to it (in this case, 115W TDP).
If you plan on playing more demanding games like Crimson Desert, Forza Horizon 6, or Cyberpunk 2077, then you should consider stepping up to the RTX 5070 Ti mobile GPU. It performs significantly better than the RTX 5060 mobile and has 50% more VRAM. The RTX 5070 Ti is also the most powerful GPU that can be equipped in the 16X Aurora; to step up to an RTX 5080 or 5090, you would have to move to an Area-51 gaming laptop, which is bulkier, heavier, and more expensive.
