The Alienware Aurora R16, the latest gaming desktop from Alienware's Aurora series, just dropped back to its lowest price ever ahead of this year's Prime Day deals event. You can get the Alienware Aurora R16 Gaming Desktop on sale for $1,199.99 (was $1,599.99) at Dell.
As noted in one of our deep dives, Alienware gave its Aurora series a "business casual" makeover that markets to an audience looking for office-friendly gaming desktops. One of its downsides was the steep price, which now better suits the specs of this specific prebuilt gaming desktop. A $1,000 gaming laptop or desktop is a steal nowadays, but usually at the cost of some kind of disadvantage, like less RAM or an older processor. The Alienware Aurora R16 doesn't have any of those significant drawbacks.
