Dell Outlet Slashes Prices on Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 4080, 4090 Gaming PCs

Dell Outlet is currently showcasing incredible deals on Like New (Refurbished) and Scratch & Dent Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PCs. These prices are significantly lower than what you'd pay for a brand new system, and the best part? You get **the same warranty as buying new**. The standout deals are on Alienware desktops with top-tier GPUs like the RTX 4080, 4080 Super, and 4090. These GPUs are becoming harder to find, and with early indications that the upcoming RTX 5000 series may not justify the cost for PC gamers, the RTX 4000 series remains our top recommendation for Nvidia GPUs at the moment.

Dell Outlet Gaming PCs: Same Warranty as Buying New

Dell's certified refurbished systems undergo a rigorous refurbishing process. These previously owned products might show minor cosmetic imperfections that do not impact performance, or they could appear brand new. Crucially, these PCs come with the same one-year manufacturer's warranty as a brand new purchase.

The RTX 4090 stands as the pinnacle of the 40 series GPUs. In his review, Chris Coke stated, "The RTX 4090 may be huge and expensive, but holy smokes if it doesn’t blow the competition out of the water... Until the rest of the pack can catch up, between its impressive hardware specs and its DLSS 3 AI wizardry, even the $1,599 price doesn’t seem unreasonable for the unrivaled frame rates that this card can crank out." It's also the top consumer choice for AI applications, boasting 24GB of RAM.

A Note on RTX 5000 Series GPUs

NVIDIA's latest generation of GPUs, the RTX 5000 series, is set to launch starting at the end of January. The RTX 5090 promises greater power but comes with a hefty price tag of $2,000 for the Founder's Edition at launch, with potential availability issues. The RTX 5080, launching at $999, may also face supply challenges. We will benchmark this card soon, but it will feature less VRAM than the 4090 (16GB vs 24GB) and may not dethrone the 4090 as the leading GPU.

The GeForce RTX 4080 Super, an enhanced version of the RTX 4080, is Nvidia's second most powerful 40 series GPU, surpassing AMD's Radeon RX 7900 XTX in DLSS and ray tracing capabilities. In our review, Jacqueline Thomas noted, "If you're in the market for a 4K graphics card around $1,000, it's hard to think of any GPU that's a better purchase right now. This is the RTX 4080 that should have launched in 2022."

The 2024 Alienware "R16" Desktop Chassis: Mostly Unchanged for 2025

The R16 represents Alienware's current 2024 desktop PC design. While Dell unveiled a new Area 51 chassis at CES 2025, it closely resembles the R16 in design and appearance. The R16 is 40% smaller in volume compared to its predecessors, featuring an efficient airflow system where air is drawn in through side intake vents over the GPU and a 120mm front fan, then exhausted via a 120mm rear fan and two 120mm top fans. Most R16 systems come equipped with an all-in-one liquid cooler featuring a 240mm radiator mounted at the top of the case.

Why Choose a Dell or Alienware Gaming PC?

If you're considering a prebuilt gaming PC, Dell stands out as one of the top gaming brands we recommend. Alienware gaming desktops offer an extensive range of options within a custom chassis. In recent years, Alienware gaming laptops have been redesigned to be thinner and lighter, yet they maintain formidable power. Dell's consistent build quality, readily available inventory, frequent sales, and excellent customer service are key reasons why it tops our list for gaming laptops and PCs.
