Black Friday 2022 has firmly kicked off, with deals on a wide range of Dell and Alienware products - including the gaming gear we’re most interested in. Dell and their Alienware subsidiary make some of the best laptops and monitors on the market, and happily many of them are discounted this time of the year.

As this a brand-specific article, it arguably makes the most sense to split things up by product category, so that’s how it’s going to be done!
Laptops
When we said the best Dell Black Friday deals, that also extends into marques that Dell is behind, such as Alienware, and for the most part, their top end gaming items are likely going to be under that banner. This comes first of all for laptops, and Alienware options usually provide an excellent blend of great performance and space-age design.
