PC gaming has become my favorite way to spend an evening online with friends. Unfortunately, the barrier to entry can be high — gaming PCs and laptops are powerful, and that power comes at a cost. Thankfully Alienware, Dell's gaming-focused sub-brand, is offering significant discounts right now as part of its back to school sales event.

For instance, right now you can save up to $400 on high-performance configurations of the Aurora R16 desktop and as much as $600 on the top version of the m18 R2 Gaming Laptop. I've been digging through the spec sheets so you don't have to and I've picked out the best Alienware laptop and desktop deals around right now. Reminder: Make sure to use coupon code "SAVE10" at checkout to save an extra 10% on most rigs.
