Black Friday for 2023 is now here, with a huge number of deals having already been available and the end of the big day itself being just hours away. That makes it a good time to pick up a huge range of Dell and Alienware PCs and peripherals, including what we've rounded up here: laptops, desktops and monitors.
Here are all the deals worth considering from Dell US and Dell UK, as well as deals on Dell gear from other retailers. We'll keep this article up to date throughout Black Friday, so you can be sure to find what you're looking for - from a high-end gaming monitor to a great value gaming laptop.
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.
