The Alienware m17 R5 with a Ryzen 9 6900HX CPU, an RX 6850M XT GPU, 16 GB of DDR5 memory, and 1 TB of PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD is going for an amazing 43% off thanks to stackable coupons. What’s more, the notebook can also be upgraded down the line as there are SO-DIMM slots for memory and two M.2 slots for storage.
In addition to the Alienware m15 R7 deal we reported previously, Dell has slashed the Alienware m17 R5 price by US$700 bringing the US$2,199.99 list rate down to US$1,499.99. You can take this price down further to an incredible US$1,249.99 by applying coupon codes GAMING15 and ARMMPPS at checkout (via slickdeals).
Moving on to the specifications, the Alienware m17 R5 on sale features an 8-core Ryzen 9 6900HX, an RX 6850M XT with 12 GB of VRAM, 16 GB of DDR5-4800 memory, and 1 TB of PCIe Gen 4 storage. Complementing the powerful internals is a superfast 360 Hz 17.3-inch FHD display with a 1 ms response time and support for AMD FreeSync. Other niceties include a 97 WHr battery and an AlienFx per-key RGB keyboard alongside a decent touchpad.
In our review of the Alienware m17 R5, we remarked that the laptop was well built and had good inputs. On the performance side of things, Ryzen 9 6900HX and RX 6850M XT-powered configuration, although not a chart-topper, proved to be plenty fast for gaming. For instance, the notebook pushed 126 FPS at 1080p/Ultra in Witcher 3, 86 FPS in Dying Light 2 at 1080p/High, and 87 FPS in AC: Valhalla at QHD/Ultra settings. In other words, if you are primarily an eSports player, the Alienware m17 R5 will comfortably push out >100 FPS allowing you to take full advantage of the 360 Hz panel.
All in all, the Alienware m17 R5 for US$1,249.99 is a potential bargain considering the performance on offer.
