The Alienware m16 R1 is currently enjoying a massive 31% discount on Dell’s official store. The discounted price of $1,349.99 is a sizeable $600 lower than the $1,949.99 list price, making the Alienware m16 R1 on sale an excellent value since it packs a powerful Core i7-13700HX CPU and an RTX 4070 GPU.

Furthermore, you can decrease the Alienware m16 R1 price by a further 10% by signing up with Dell. This discount is only available for new customers (via slickdeals).

Moving on, the Alienware m16 R1 also brings 16 GB of DDR5-4800 memory that can be upgraded thanks to the inclusion of two SO-DIMM slots, 1 TB of PCIe storage (2x PCIe Gen 4 slots), a per-key RGB keyboard, and a varied port selection. The ports include one HDMI 2.1 out, one Mini DisplayPort, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, one SD Card reader, a single Type-A port, a combo jack, and an ethernet jack.

Display-wise, the Alienware m16 R1 features a 16-inch QHD+ display with a 165 Hz refresh rate, NVIDIA Advanced Optimus, and NVIDIA G-SYNC. The front is rounded off by an FHD webcam.

The Alienware m16 R1 shined in our review of a similar configuration with a final rating of 88%. The excellent rating is primarily the result of the laptop’s fast performance, good QHD+ display, quiet operation, and extensive expandability options. For instance, we measured the IPS panel to deliver 302 nits of brightness and cover almost the entirety of the sRGB gamut. The panel is also plenty fast at 165 Hz and boasts low response times.

The fast screen paired quite well with the Core i7-13700HX and the RTX 4060 combination in our testing, as the components were powerful enough to drive games like The Witcher 3, Dota 2, and F1 23 above 100 FPS at 1080p/Ultra. While increasing the resolution to QHD did take a noticeable chunk of performance away, almost all of our tested games were still playable at Ultra settings.

Now considering that the RTX 4070 laptop inside the model on sale brings a double-digit performance increase over the RTX 4060, the Alienware m16 R1 should comfortably game at QHD with elevated settings.

Long story short, if you are after a capable gaming notebook that has a large display and plenty of horsepower, the Alienware m16 R1 is worth checking out.
