Dell continues to offer some great gaming PC deals even now that Labor Day is behind us. One such deal is being able to buy the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming desktop for $1,500 instead of $1,900. Packed with great hardware, including the all-important and appropriately named Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super graphics card, this is a gaming PC which will last you a long time to come. We’re here to tell you all about it before you commit to a purchase.
The Alienware Aurora R16 gaming desktop tops our look at the best gaming PCs around thanks to being so well-built and powerful. In the case of this particular model, the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming desktop has a 14th-generation Intel Core i7-14700F processor, 16GB of memory, and 1TB of SSD storage.
Crucially, the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming desktop has an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super graphics card, which we don’t always see. In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super graphics card review, we gave it 9 out of 10 thanks to its solid performance improvement over the regular RTX 4070, its fantastic ray tracing performance, great value, and highly efficient design. We called it the “graphics card you’ve been waiting for” — you can’t go wrong with this one.
Team the graphics card with one of the best gaming monitors and you’ll adore the performance here. You’ll be able to play all the latest games at high-end levels of detail, which is just what you want from a gaming desktop of this caliber.
The Alienware Aurora R16 gaming desktop also looks super stylish thanks to its new design, which boasts efficient airflow so it runs cooler and more quietly, all thanks to some great cable management. It looks good too, so you’ll be proud of your purchase, right down to its cool lighting effects.
Of course, the big highlight to the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming desktop is that extra special Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super card, but the whole desktop is one you’re going to love. It normally costs $1,900, but right now you can buy it from Dell for $1,500. Count on this deal ending very soon and buy now if it sounds like the gaming desktop you need. We’re certainly super tempted (get it?).
Nearly a month after announcing the GPT-6.1 Sol model, OpenAI unveiled GPT-6.1 Terra today. The latest addition to the family focuses on computer use, visual reasoning, coding, and professional work, while costing 50% less through the API than GPT-5.6 Terra.
OpenAI says Terra can handle everything from filling out browser forms and working inside spreadsheets to interpreting technical drawings and editing videos. The company says it can also complete computer-based tasks more than three times faster than GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol.
ASUS has started selling its UGen Intel Arc Pro B70 graphics card in Europe, bringing its take on Intel’s workstation GPU to customers with a hefty €1,799 recommended price. The card is available in Germany and Austria, while ASUS lists it at CHF 1,799 in Switzerland.
Intel first introduced the Arc Pro B70 in March 2026, with its own branded model starting at $949. ASUS’s version arrives several months later with the same core GPU architecture but a different cooling design and a higher power rating. The price also places it well above Intel’s original starting point, although the two prices are not directly comparable because ASUS’s European figure includes VAT.
Anthropic has officially filed to go public, and buried inside its S-1 is a blunt warning about the technology at the center of its business. The maker of Claude AI says advanced AI could cause everything from large-scale cyberattacks and geopolitical instability to catastrophic or even existential risks for humanity.
The warnings take up a surprisingly large part of the filing. Axios notes that more than 90 pages, or roughly a third of the prospectus, focus on risk factors. Many of them warn about what could happen as AI systems become more capable and autonomous.
