Alienware 14 Haswell Gaming Laptop Sales At $979

This deal on the popular new Alienware 14 laptop yields the lowest price we’ve ever seen it offered for, and a great price on a premium gaming rig. When they released the “14″ earlier this year, we detected a certain amount of pride in its size. Not how much weight was shaved off, but how thin this 14-inch portable gamer ended being: 1.58 to 1.64 inches front to rear, with an impressive 6.1-pound starting weight.
Make no mistake, this is not an ultrabook lookalike with lowly components. The Alienware 14 is meant to pack some serious electronics, and goes all the way up to overclocked quad-core Core i7 chips with Nvidia GeForce GTX graphics backing it up. Today’s configuration is a much more affordable Core i5-4200M dual-core with 8GB of RAM, 750GB hard drive, and Nvidia GeForce GT 750M graphics.



Thanks to the massive amount of real estate, you don’t lose anything with the 14-inch form factor. A slot-loading DVD drive is standard, along with Killer NIC high-performance 802.11n WiFi and Gigabit Ethernet. Connectivity is ably handled with three USB 3.0 ports, both HDMI and Mini DisplayPort outputs, 7-in-1 media card reader, and dual audio outputs with 7.1 surround support.
The aluminum and magnesium chassis is new for 2013, and sports a look dubbed “stealth bomber,” inspired by the large angular surfaces found throughout the Alienware 14′s design. Like most other Alienware models, it is also awash in LED lighting that is fully customizable, with 10 unique zones that can be customized with 20 different colors each. Also new for 2013 is that the touchpad is fully backlight and customizable, a nice detail for those who like to truly touch the rainbow.
If you were looking to get into an Alienware laptop, this is hands-down the lowest price you’ll see anytime soon, and a strong bargain. Normally priced at $1,099, a combination of instant savings and rare stackable coupon bring the price down to just $979 with free shipping. It won’t arrive in time for Christmas, but this package is one that’s worth waiting a little longer for.
