The official Dell Store has just launched another big spring sale this week, including some superb discounts for those looking to pick up a new gaming PC.

With prices ranging all the way from $799 to an eye-watering $4,999 there's plenty to check out this week, including some of the best deals I've seen since Black Friday and the first discounts on the brand's latest Alienware models. I've picked out the best gaming deals in the Dell spring sale just down below.

If you're on more of a budget this week, then I'd recommend checking out Dell's price cuts on its G16 gaming laptops. There are two fantastic choices - one with an RTX 4060 for $1,099 (was $1,549), and one with an RTX 4070 for $1,299 (was $1,699). Both are great if you need a decent bang-for-the-buck machine that still has a decent amount of power under the hood.

I'd also recommend checking out this Alienware Aurora with an RTX 4060 Ti for $1,399 (was $1,699) for a compelling budget desktop. It's not the cheapest I've ever seen, but it's superb if you just want a reliable machine that can provide smooth frame rates at 1080p.

For a higher-end machine, however, check out today's discounts of up to $500 on the latest Alienware Area-51 models. These have just been released, so today's discounts are some of the first I've ever seen on these powerhouse machines with the latest RTX 6000 series graphics cards and Intel chipsets.
