The Dell Alienware m16 R2 gaming laptop with an RTX 4070 laptop GPU, 16 GB of RAM, and 1 TB of expandable storage can now be yours at a steep discount. The discount is for an "Open-Box" model from Best Buy which is in "like-new" condition and, as such, looks and functions like a brand new machine.

When it comes to gaming laptops, it is often a good idea to buy slightly used or “Open-Box Excellent” units from reputable retailers like Best Buy. Such laptop units not only look and function like brand-new machines but can also net you hundreds of dollars in savings. Case in point, you can now get the Dell Alienware m16 R2 (2024) gaming laptop with an RTX 4070 laptop GPU and a Core Ultra 7 155H CPU for just $1,189.99.

To put this reduced Alienware m16 R2 price in perspective, Dell was selling the laptop for $1,499.99 with 32 GB of RAM late last month, while Best Buy is currently offering a new machine for $1,399.99. So, buying the “Open-Box” Alienware m16 R2 under discussion will save you $210 (linked at the end).

Dell Alienware m16 R2 (2024) specifications

In addition to the 140 W RTX 4070 and the Core Ultra 7 155H, the Dell Alienware m16 R2 on sale rocks 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. Both the memory and storage are expandable thanks to two M.2 2280 SSD and two SO-DIMM slots. An Intel Wi-Fi 7 card and a 90 Wh battery round out the inside of the chassis.

Around the front, we have a 16-inch QHD+ display with a 240 Hz refresh rate and Nvidia G-Sync support. Dell claims a 3 ms response time, 100% sRGB coverage, and 300 nits of brightness. These values line up with our measurements, as the panel on our Alienware m16 R2 review unit delivered on Dell’s claims while boasting more than a 1,000:1 contrast and decent factory calibration.

Moving on to performance, the 140 W RTX 4070 and Core Ultra 7 155H will result in strong FHD/QHD gaming, as the Alienware m16 R2 is able to play AAA titles quite well. For instance, our F1 22 test returned a 52 FPS average at QHD/ultra. 

Dell has managed to also nail the fan curve and the battery life of the Alienware m16 R2. So, users can expect relatively quiet operation and 8 hours of runtime during routine operation.

Long story short, the Alienware m16 R2 gaming laptop is a solid mid-range gaming machine made even better thanks to the sweet price cut.
