Thumb Score: +44

Micro Center (Santa Clara) has this Alienware Aurora ACT1250 configuration — Core Ultra 7 265KF, RTX 5070, 32GB memory, 1TB SSD — for $1,799.99, in-store only.

Price check: Dell.com sells this exact configuration for $3,079.99 and Best Buy has it at $2,699. Even the cheaper non-KF variant at Newegg is $2,349.99. So this is $550+ below the lowest street price for a comparable config (do not go by Micro Center’s $3,699.99 list price, it’s inflated).

Full disclosure: Micro Center had this config at $1,700 back in August (that thread is expired); at $1,799.99 it’s still far below current street.
