Dell's Presidents' Day Sale: Alienware m16 R2 Gaming Laptop Deal
Dell is offering a significant discount on the Alienware m16 R2 gaming laptop as part of its Presidents' Day Sale. This powerful machine, featuring an RTX 4060 GPU, is available for just $1,299.99 after a $400 instant discount. This price is particularly compelling given the inclusion of an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, a rare find at this price point.
The m16 R2, Alienware's flagship gaming laptop, boasts exceptional build quality, top-tier gaming performance, and a competitive price. The "R2" model, released in 2024, is 14% lighter and more compact than its predecessor without sacrificing performance.
Alienware m16 R2 RTX 4060 Configuration:
- Price: $1,299.99 (was $1,699.99)
- Processor: 14th Gen Intel Core Ultra 9 185H (5.1GHz Turbo Boost, 16 cores)
- GPU: RTX 4060 (115W TGP, 140W with dynamic boost)
- Display: 16" 2560x1600 QHD+
- RAM: 16GB DDR5-5600MHz
- Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD
The Intel Core Ultra 9 185H offers impressive gaming and workstation capabilities with improved power efficiency, leading to reduced heat and extended battery life. The RTX 4060 GPU delivers smooth gameplay at 60fps on the native resolution for most titles (settings adjustments may be needed for demanding games). DLSS 3.0 support ensures even smoother performance in compatible games.
RTX 4070 Upgrade Option:
For an additional $200, you can upgrade to an RTX 4070 GPU. This configuration includes an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor. While the processor is a step down, at QHD+ resolution, the GPU will be the primary performance bottleneck for most games, resulting in higher frame rates and/or graphical settings. This upgrade is worthwhile for gamers prioritizing peak performance.
