Deal | Alienware x16 R2 gaming laptop with RTX 4080 and Core Ultra 9 185H is now going for more than $800 off list price
Dell refreshed the Alienware x16 R1 gaming laptop earlier this year with the new Meteor Lake Core Ultra processors. Packing up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H CPU and a 175 W RTX 4090 laptop GPU, the Alienware x16 R2 resides in the upper class of gaming machines. However, such powerful hardware also makes the Alienware x16 R2 a pricey laptop with it starting at $2,099.
Thankfully, Dell has now put the Alienware x16 R2 on sale at a considerable $850 discount on the list price. You can now get the laptop for only $2,249.99 from the company’s official online store by using coupon code SAVE10 at checkout.
