If you're in need of a powerful gaming laptop, we've got the perfect deal for you. One of our favorite gaming laptops — which has earned an Editor's Choice award from us and 4 out of 5 stars in our review — just got a major discount.
Right now, you can snag the Alienware x16 R2 for just $1,999 at Best Buy — that's a whopping $700 in savings, and the lowest price we've ever seen for this particular configuration. If you'd rather get it from Dell, the Alienware x16 R2 is slashed to $1,999 there as well.
You'll be playing AAA games at max settings with no issues.
While $1,999 may still seem like a steep price, it's worth it for the specs you get in exchange. Inside, the x16 R2 gaming laptop features a new Intel Core Ultra 9 185H CPU, 32GB of RAM, a Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU with 8GB of VRAM, and 1TB of SSD storage. And to top it all off: a 16-inch QHD+ (2,560 x 1,600) display with an incredibly smooth 240Hz refresh rate.
With those specs, you'll be playing AAA games at max settings with no issues. And if you want to play unplugged for a while, that'll be no problem with this laptop's relatively great battery life. In our battery test, the laptop lasted 6 hours and 32 minutes.
