Black Friday Alienware deals will return to our shelves in November, but things are going to look a little different this time around. The brand has officially confirmed two new laptops, harking back to the old days of the Area-51 line. The 16-inch and 18-inch Alienware Area-51 laptops will be readily available well before November's sale kicks off, so we will likely see plenty of savings on these more premium releases. The existing M-Series and X-Series are being retired, but considering this is the brand's current go-to for a more budget-friendly (relatively speaking) machine, there could well still be some stock in play later in the year.
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. The desktop was announced at the start of the year, and should see some heavier discounts by the time holiday sales roll around.
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.
When will Black Friday Alienware deals start?
Inline with the rest of this year's sales official discounts will land on November 29. However, that's just the sales with the Black Friday label on them. We see many of the same prices popping up in the weeks leading up to the main event, and often most frequently over Thanksgiving week. That means it's well worth jumping on a price you like ahead of time - competition is lower and you've got more of a shot at that crashing flash sale.

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 the new Alienware Area-51 gaming PCs and laptops hitting the market in 2025, and the M-Series and X-Series laptops being phased out, it's all change on these shelves. I'd expect to still see a few of the later M-Series laptops in play, as well as the Alienware Aurora R16, but for the most part we'll be enjoying discounts on brand new tech this time around.
The R16 is still going to be priced a little higher in November's Black Friday gaming PC deals, but we're still confident in three-figure savings. The biggest value is found in the mid-range here, as we often see higher value graphics cards and larger RAM sizes priced only slightly higher than entry level configurations when on sale. You'd do best to price match between retailers here, though, as there will be plenty of different versions floating around with different discounts on the day.
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.
Those after an Alienware laptop will be sticking with Dell for newer M16 and M18 R2 releases, but heading to other retailers like Best Buy and Amazon for older models.
Last year the M16 saw the most discounts, with an RTX 4060 configuration dipping as low as $1,299 in the sale. The X16 also saw its first significant holiday savings last year, with $600 off an RTX 4070 configuration leaving us at a still-lofty $1,999.99.
If you're after cheaper Black Friday gaming laptop deals on older releases, it's worth expanding your search to other retailers. Dell itself doesn't carry too much stock of its previous generation laptops, so the best Black Friday Alienware deals on the M15 R5/6 and the original versions of the x15 and x17 will likely be found at Newegg or Amazon.
