For one day only, Best Buy is offering a good deal on an Alienware gaming laptop that has been very rarely discounted this year. The Alienware 16X Aurora GeForce RTX 5060 gaming laptop drops to $1,674.99 with free shipping after a $900 off instant discount. Even at the discounted price, the 16X Aurora is one of the more expensive RTX 5060 gaming laptops I've covered. The reason is simple; this is a premium model with an all-aluminum body, gorgeous OLED display, and an excellent cooling system that allows for discrete graphics will maximum allowable TGP. Alienware 16X Aurora RTX 5060 Gaming Laptop for $1,675 Today only The Alienware 16X Aurora gaming laptop is equipped with a 16" 2560x1600 240Hz OLED display, Intel Core Ultra 7 270HX CPU, GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 512GB SSD. The 16X Aurora is the best Alienware laptop for most gamers 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 GeForce RTX 5060 (mobile) GPU is a good mid-range option for gaming The RTX 5060 (mobile) offers solid gaming performance. It should run most games at 60fps even with the Alienware's upgraded 1600p resolution, especially if the game supports DLSS 4.5. Compared to the previous generation CPUs, think of it as a more power efficient version of the RTX 4070. The Alienware 16X Aurora does not throttle its GPU, meaning you'll get the maximum power delivered to it (in this case, 115W TDP). Compared to other laptops with similar specs, this laptop should perform at the top of the pack.
