Acer 27‑inch 1440p monitor and Alienware 18‑inch RTX 5090 laptop see deep price cuts

Acer’s 27‑inch KA272U 1440p gaming monitor has dropped to US$110 at Best Buy, roughly half its original price. The panel offers a 100 Hz refresh rate, 1 ms response time and an IPS panel, though its brightness is limited to 250 nits.

Dell’s Outlet is offering a “scratch‑and‑dent” Alienware Area‑51 18‑inch RTX 5090 gaming laptop for US$3,045. The laptop ships with a 2560×1600 300 Hz G‑Sync display, an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, Nvidia RTX 5090 24 GB GPU, 64 GB DDR5‑6400MHz RAM and a 2 TB SSD, all covered by a standard one‑year warranty.

Both deals provide high‑performance gaming hardware at prices far below typical retail levels, highlighting a rare dip in component costs that has made premium monitors and laptops more affordable for consumers.
