The Alienware Aurora R12 is back on the menu, boys! Yes, I've been watching Lord of the Rings again, what of it? Anyways, this excellent deal on one of our favourite gaming PCs is back in stock. Whether it actually went out of stock we're not sure, because Dell keeps shuffling its offers around onto different URLs so they look out of stock until you do some diggging. Weird or sneaky, we're still not sure.
Whatever, this Aurora R12 packs not only an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, but also an 11th gen, Rocket Lake S chip—the Core i7 11700F—for taking on intense computational tasks. All this is coming in at an incredible $1,371.99 on the Dell site right now, for a massive $628 saving.
The config boasts 16GB RAM, which really is plenty, and a 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD for speedy boot and load times, which is probably not quite what you'd call plenty, but still decent.
That comes with almost $300 worth of CPU, plus an RTX 3060 Ti, worth... well, whatever ridiculous price people are trying to sell RTX 30-series GPUs for right now. And that's the real win here—sure you're probably going to want to grab some more storage for it, maybe a little RAM depending on your intended workload, but at least you'll actually get your hands on a current-gen GPU.
Aside from a great combo of components, you're getting a PC from a trusted manufacturer who will be there with warranties and professional support, if and when things go wrong. And because it's Alienware, you get the fancy sci-fi case which you wouldn't be able to purchase separately.
What's truly spectacular about all this, aside from the fact you're getting $2k worth of PC for under $1.4k, is that Dell is promising to deliver by Friday 17 December—so just in time for wrapping.
