Deal | Alienware m16 R2 price drops by massive 33% for RTX 4070 and Core Ultra 7 155H SKU with 32 GB RAM
The latest iteration of the Alienware m16 series, the Alienware m16 R2, which launched at CES 2024 has been discounted once again at Dell’s official store. The laptop can now be yours for only $1,349.99 instead of the $1,999.99 list price by using coupon code SAVE10 at checkout.
With the $650 price cut, the Alienware m16 R2 becomes a pretty sweet deal as the laptop has all the characteristics of a capable mid-range gaming machine, a fact that is shown by our review and the resulting 90% rating.
Starting with the specifications, the Alienware m16 R2 on sale features a Core Ultra 7 155H CPU, a 140 W RTX 4070 laptop GPU, 32 GB of RAM, and 1 TB of storage. Display duties are handled by a 16-inch panel that boasts a 1600p resolution, 100% sRGB coverage, a 240 Hz refresh rate, and Nvidia G-Sync.
Moreover, the laptop packs a large 90 Wh battery, an AlienFX per-key RGB keyboard, an FHD webcam, and an extensive port selection which includes:
- One HDMI 2.1 output
- A single microSD card reader
- One Thunderbolt 4 port
- One USB 3.2 Gen 2 with DisplayPort 1.4
- Two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports
- An RJ45 ethernet port
- A 3.5 mm combo jack
All in all, from a hardware perspective, the Alienware m16 R2 has pretty much all the bases covered.
Fortunately, Dell has also put this hardware to good use. Our review device which equipped a similar configuration to the unit on sale exhibited a sturdy chassis, a good keyboard, and a better noise profile than its predecessor. The laptop also proved to be more portable than the Alienware m16 R1 thanks to the reduced heft of the chassis.
Moreover, If playing AAA games at FHD/QHD resolution and with decent frame rates is your primary requirement, the Alienware m16 R2 won’t leave you wanting for more performance. For instance, our testing showed the machine can run games like Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty at more than 80 FPS at FHD/ultra.
Long story short, combined with a battery life of 8 hours in our Wi-Fi websurfing test, the 2024 Alienware m16 R2 is a solid option without a lot of compromises.
