Continuing Dell's commitment to provide the ultimate gaming experience for everyone, Dell is also debuting Dell G Series, revitalizing the Dell Gaming portfolio. This suite of PCs, starting at $749, is designed and engineered for the gamer who prioritizes performance and excellent gameplay.

Further expanding its more than a decade long legacy in esports, Alienware is forging new partnerships with the NBA 2K League, Miami HEAT and Misfits Gaming, and taking its partnership with Team Liquid into unchartered territory for North American esports. These organizations and teams have turned to Alienware for a competitive advantage.










"We are ambassadors to the PC gaming world," says Frank Azor, vice president and general manager, Alienware and Dell Gaming. "From pushing the boundaries of innovation in our Alienware line and creating systems for today's top competitive gamers and leagues, to our new affordable G Series line-up, we're enabling gamers of all levels to game at their best."
