You’ve seen the deal on the ASUS TUF A16 gaming laptop, now it’s time to head to the other end for the Alienware m16. This beast of a laptop is available at Best Buy right now for $2,800. And it comes packed with some of today’s best specs to deliver a performance-heavy gaming experience you’re going to love.
First and foremost, the Alienware m16 is powered by an AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX CPU, as well as an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 GPU. Right out of the gate, you get a processor that’s going to make sure you can chew through tasks and basically anything you throw at it. The graphics card will be the driving force behind your games looking and running amazing.
The best part about the RTX 4080 inside is that you can enable settings like ray tracing in games that have that option. While also benefiting from DLSS 3 and ray reconstruction for a nice blend of high-resolution graphics and high frame rates. Speaking of high frame rates, the Alienware m16 has a 16-inch QHD+ display with a refresh rate of 240Hz. The laptop also has 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD for game storage. Basically, you’re set on everything you need to play games in their best form.
Now you might wonder how warm or hot the laptop is going to get. Especially when playing games with their highest settings. Thanks to the awesome cooling technology inside, not very. The m16 will stay at a manageable temperature that ensures the laptop will still perform at optimal levels. So you can game for longer without worry. It doesn’t have great battery life, but then again, no gaming laptop really does. You’ll need to keep it plugged in when playing games if you want to play for longer than an hour. A small price to pay for all that power.
