The last deal was at $1599 and I got in it at $1071. This would have total about $1151 before tax from new customer Dell -10%, AE -120. Chase -46, join Dell reward -10, and join CB -203. The extra $100 for the RX 4070 TI Super is worth it since difference between GPU is $200. Overall, the R16 is doing well with reasonable CPU/GPU temperatures in usage. Everyone probably know the negative are special case, motherboard and power supply.

Just bought this the other week at $1799 before discounts and tax. With only the 10% new customer discount, 10% (at that time) CB, and Amex offer, it's been a great deal for me. PC runs well, hasn't gotten hot, and is pretty quiet. Also, props to Dell customer service; the price dropped to $1699 before tax/discounts and they credited me the difference

there are a lot of ways to price out this deal. here is mine.
*Note this might not be available for everyone as I had to enlist family members to authorize the use of their CC to make this happen.

Starting with 1699.99 (calling it 1700)

1700 - 170 (Dell Coupon) = 1530
1530 + 150 in filler + tax pushed it just over 1800 (1806 to be exact)
1806 - 360 (using 3 AMEX offers as Dell lets you split payment into 3 CCs) = 1446

1446 - 10%CB (of 1530+150) = 1278
I was able to sell the fillers, so - 150 from 1278 makes it $1128 tax included.

If we are counting the ~$50 dollars in Dell rewards, it would be $1078

For a 14th Gen i7 + 4070 TI Super + + mb ram + case + ssd + aio + os, this is a screaming good deal.

I do recommend that you bump the machine to 32GB of ram, it will set you back $100. (make sure you buy compatible ram as AW is picky with RAM. I used Crucial Pro 32GB 5600mhz as recommended from various reddit posts)

Split the charge to both cards. Dell will usually let you use two forms of payment on the same transaction.
Any idea if this becomes a dispute in case you need to use a credit card's automatic warranty extension?

Pretty good deal. Only issue I've ever had with Dells is the ability to upgrade with their cases.
Would love to see Gamers Nexus analysis of the case. That's usually the problem as you do not have room in some Alienware cases to upgrade the CPU radiator if CPU is running hot, or to run an upgraded GPU with radiator if you get an upgrade (usually airflow is too limited in the case to be able to replace the 4070 with say a 4080 and not have the whole rig overheat).

I watched their R15 review before my purchase, he complained about top cover air restriction and custom motherboard, case, power supply and i9 CPU throttling. There are YTer complaining the same for R16 but I'm okay with i7 non-K. I see a future upgrade for a 5090 if the 1000W PS is enough.

I think the $45 saved has screwed the extended warranty, AE website state "fully charge eligible items to your Card."

The main point is that internal chassis seem identical, actually worse as the sys fan 3 header was removed compared to R15 for second intake fan. It been stated i9 13th and 14th Gen CPU are about the same. I wouldn't recommend anyone get this beyond the i7.

I got the 4070 Super CyberPower off Costco. But this is a better deal. People shit on Alienware but my last one lasted 12 years with ram and GPU updates. I wish I upgraded windows for free when given a chance but I didn't and at this point windows 7 is useless.
I I'm resetting PC and I will return it next week. Meanwhile I'm grateful for you guys for posting these credit card and cash back discounts. Seems I might actually get this better computer for a little less than what I paid for Costco deal. Cheers.
What's wrong with the Costco 4070 super pc.? I got it also for $1599

My son plays it. No issues with it.

I when Amex plat business with dell $600 get $120 off

Plus dell Amex 10% off promo

Plus dell $200 Amex plat biz credit.
Just too lazy these days. I guess I can get the Alienware for around $1200

Dang. I am on the fence about this. 10% new email subscriber + 5% Chase cb + 5.5% cb = $1453. Does that math check out?!

Would the higher RAM, bigger SSD and Costco return policy offset this better deal? I am also on the fence about which one

Create Dell account doesn't provide 10%, it's the email signup for update notification does.

From another perspective, GPU $800, CPU $370, 1TB $73, 16RAM $56, AIO cooler $77 and remaining. As your math does check, it doesn't qualify as slickdeal but just a deal. The next best at this moment could be Costco pre-built with 32RAM and 2TB with all standard parts but non-TI Super.
