An affordable yet powerful gaming laptop.
Best Buy is offering a great deal on a well equipped Alienware laptop. For Friday and Saturday only, you can get the Alienware m16 R2 RTX 4070 gaming laptop for just $1,374.99 shipped. That’s $120 less than buying it directly from Dell. The m16 R2 is Alienware’s most popular gaming laptop, which isn’t surprising considering its excellent build quality, top-of-the-line gaming prowess, and reasonable price point. The “R2″ is the second generation model that was released in 2024; it’s 14% lighter and more compact than its predecessor without compromising on performance.
Alienware m16 R2 16″ Gaming Laptop
Alienware m16 R2 16″ QHD+ Intel Core Ultra 7 155H RTX 4070 Gaming Laptop with 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD
This laptop features a 16” 2560×1600 QHD+ display, Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor, GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H is a power efficient, low voltage Meteor Lake CPU with a max turbo frequency of 4.8GHz and 16 total cores. Although Best Buy does have a Core Ultra 9 model for $300 more, gamers will find little reason to upgrade to it since most games are limited by the GPU, not the CPU.
You absolutely will, however, need a decent amount of GPU power to be able to run games smoothly on the display’s bumped-up 2560×1600 resolution. Alienware never throttles the GPU on its m16 laptops, and that includes the RTX 4070 found in this laptop, which boasts a 115W (140W with Dynamic Boost) TGP. The 4070 is powerful enough to comfortabley run most games at 60fps or higher on the 1600p display, moreso if the game supports DLSS 3.0.
Best Buy is an authorized Dell retailer, so you’ll be getting the same 1 year warranty as buying from Dell direct. This laptop is also currently in stock and will be delivered to you within a week.
