Ahead of its 4th of July Sale, Dell has dropped the price on an Alienware 16 Area-51 gaming laptop equipped with the new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 mobile graphics for only $2,949.99 with free delivery.

This is particularly true for the 8GB model that retails for $379, which should offer a huge leg up over the $299 Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 for the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB's asking price.

Its Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 GPU and Intel 13th Gen Core i5 processor mean you can enjoy steady 1080p gaming on this machine for comfortably under $1,000, where other budget picks sit.
