If there’s one thing Alienware is known for other than having some powerful gaming PCs, it’s that their hardware can be a little expensive, which is why you’ll want to consider this deal from Best Buy. Right now Best Buy has the Alienware m16 gaming laptop on sale for $2,100, which is $600 off the regular price. If you were paying full retail you’d end up having to spend $2,600 to scoop this up.
To be honest, even at $2,600 this is a pretty decent value. Especially considering comparable gaming laptops from other brands might cost hundreds more. This model of the Alienware m16 is packed to the gills with beefy specs. Specs that will keep you gaming at a high tier. For starters, it has a 16-inch QHD+ display with a 240Hz refresh rate. So you get a high-quality screen for amazing-looking visuals. That’s on top of it having a fast refresh rate. Which will allow for high frames per second in all of your games. And you’ll be able to hit those frames too. Because the m16 is running with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 GPU inside.
Not only will that enable close to or completely maxed-out visual settings in most games, but the RTX 4080 has access to DLSS 3 to help boost your frame rate even further. So you can crank the graphics up and still get decent frames for smooth visuals. The computing is handled by an Intel Core i9-13900HX CPU. Plus the laptop comes with 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD for game storage.
While I’ll almost always recommend headphones when gaming on a laptop, in the event you want to use the in-laptop audio, it should sound pretty good here. The m16 supports Dolby Atmos and has some decent speakers. It also has pretty good cooling to ensure optimal performance over longer gaming sessions.
