The Alienware m16 R2 gaming laptop with a 16-inch QHD+ display running at 240 Hz and an RTX 4070 dGPU is now going for only $1,299.99 at Best Buy. With a 4.5/5 user rating and an excellent 90% review rating from us, the Alienware is a capable mid-ranger that is bound to make many gamers happy.

The 2024 Alienware m16 R2 with an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H CPU, an 140 W RTX 4070 GPU, 16 GB of DDR5-5600 memory, and 1 TB of storage can now be yours for only $1,299.9. This is a discount of $500 over the list price and, according to Honey’s price history tool, takes the price of the laptop to a 120-day low. 

Dell unveiled the Alienware m16 R2 at CES 2024 with Intel Core Ultra Meteor Lake processors, up to an RTX 4070 laptop GPU, and a fast 240 Hz 1600p display. The laptop packs a brand new chassis which lacks the protruding heatsink that has been a common sight on Alienware laptops for a while now. As a result, the Alienware m16 R2 is considerably smaller than the m16 R1. So, the machine is suitable for folks who want mid-range power in a more manageable form factor.

Talking about power, the Alienware m16 R2 performed quite well in our review with the Core Ultra 7 155H proving to be more powerful than the other Core Ultra 7 155H samples that we’ve tested. Similarly, the RTX 4070 laptop GPU inside the machine also managed to be about 10% faster than the category average.

In other words, the Alienware m16 R2 will handle both CPU and GPU-bound tasks with ease. Gaming should, therefore, not be an issue as the laptop will run demanding AAA games at FHD/QHD above 60 FPS at elevated settings.

Games will also look great on the notebook’s 16-inch IPS display thanks to its 100% sRGB coverage, 1153:1 contrast ratio, and 337 nits of average brightness. Additionally, the panel features NVIDIA G-SYNC and a speedy refresh rate of 240 Hz.

All in all, Dell gets almost everything right with the Alienware m16 R2. As we mentioned in conclusion to our review, the notebook “balances all fronts extremely well from performance to battery life and portability”. If this sounds like something that you’d be interested in, there hasn’t been a better time to buy the Alienware m16 R2 than now.
