Formerly known as the Oculus Quest, the Meta Quest series of virtual reality (VR) headsets are standalone devices for VR and AR gaming. VR technology has become much more affordable over the past few years. As prices drop, more users than ever are picking up Meta Quest 2 or 3 headsets and looking for the best titles to get the most out of virtual reality gaming.
This Black Friday gaming PC deal is the best value Alienware machine you can get right now
24.11.2023 - 17:06 / pcgamer.com / Best / You Can
Alienware Aurora R16 | Core i7 13700F | RTX 4070 Ti | 16GB DDR5-5600 | 1TB SSD | $1,949.99$1,749.99 at Dell (save $200)
You can score an RTX 4070 Ti PC for less than this, though usually with an older CPU than the Core i7 13700F here. This Alienware delivers a rather modern package, with a Raptor Lake processor (13th Gen, not 14th Gen, but that's fine), a big enough boot drive at 1TB, and a 1000W PSU. It's also liquid cooled and comes with two sticks of DDR5 memory.
When shopping for Black Friday gaming PC deals, it's about knowing which compromises to make for a deal. This Alienware Aurora R16 that Dell has discounted by $200 has the key parts I'd want off the shelf if I were buying fresh this year.
This build is very similar to the best Alienware build currently on our best gaming PCs (currently sold out), and for much cheaper by only stepping down to Nvidia's 4070 Ti GPU instead of the 4080. You can find a build with an RTX 4070 cheaper than this, but not often with the new enough 13thGen Raptor Lake processor that features in this build.
If I were getting my first gaming PC this year, or just stepping into a new system, getting a CPU and GPU together that shouldn't give me headaches anytime soon would be top priority. As a first gaming PC, that 1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe boot drive is plenty of room to play with for a while.
I couldn't squeeze my own system into that space these days, but the second PCIe NVMe M.2 slot this board has is the invitation to expand that I'm currently wishing my own system had.
As noted in our best PCs list, «Our major issue with recommending Alienware PCs now, however, is the bespoke hardware inside either locking you out of future upgrades, or locking you into an unnecessarily expensive upgrade path.»
That's typically to do with Alienware's bespoke motherboards, cooling systems, and PSUs though, says our hardware managing editor Dave James. Check Dave's other thoughts on buying Alienware there, but this deal does fit his main warning of not buying the brand at full price.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is 0% off and still the best Black Friday gaming deal
You won’t find Baldur’s Gate 3 on sale this Black Friday. And yet, we believe it’s still one of the best video game deals this holiday season. Across the Polygon team, we’ve collectively put hundreds — if not thousands — of hours into the CRPG. Considering the current bleak forecast for big video game releases in 2024, we expect to invest a few thousand more.

This Alienware rig is my favorite Black Friday gaming PC deal right now, and it’s worth considering over Dell’s offers
I’ve been keeping my eye firmly on Black Friday gaming PC deals all week, and I’ve just spotted an Alienware rig that’s well worth considering. While you’ll find plenty of Aurora R15 builds with RTX 4060 and RTX 4080 graphics cards within, Amazon has got a GeForce RTX 4070 Ti build that’s down to its lowest price. If you’re itching to get your hands on a machine that can provide 1440p max settings in the latest games and dabble with 4K, this might be the system for you.

I can't believe this Black Friday gaming laptop deal is still in stock
Black Friday gaming laptop deals are taking the shelves by storm today, but not all offers are built equally. As is the way every year, I was fully expecting the best and brightest of this year's haul to be run off the shelves within just a few hours - but I'm surprised this RTX 4080 Lenovo Legion hasn't been snapped up.
