Dell has been running a barnstorming set of sales across the Black Friday weekend, offering unprecedented low pricing that surprisingly hasn't been impacted by the RAM shortages that have sent prices skyrocketing, but the company has now unbelievably dropped some of its prices even further since then. These Cyber Monday sales probably aren't going to be here for too much longer, but while they are, you're in a prime position to score yourself a serious bargain on a new Alienware gaming laptop or a Dell-branded productivity laptop, depending on what you're looking for, with already-discounted prices being slashed even further.

Time is ticking on these discounts, however. If you're desperate for a decent gaming PC deal, or you're keen to upgrade your working environment with a brand-new laptop, these are the Dell and Alienware deals you're going to want to look at during this Cyber Monday. Do bear in mind that while increased RAM prices, which have went up as much as 500% in the last two weeks, aren't yet having an impact on pre-built PCs. However, it is only a matter of time before those prices are passed along to customers, meaning the time to buy is now if you want a stellar deal.

    Until Alienware/Dell start offering AMD processors, they are dead to me. Who the heck wants one of this crappy Intel processors for gaming?
