Deal | RTX 4080-powered Alienware m18 R2 Core i9 gaming laptop is now cheaper than ever before

While some gamers prefer thin and light gaming laptops that are easy to carry around and use on the go, others are looking for a great amount of performance in a notebook that can replace a bulky desktop PC. This group of gamers should now take a look at the RTX 4080 configuration of the Alienware m18 R2.

To be more precise, Dell's ongoing offer for the 18-inch gaming laptop might be worth consideration since it grants a pretty large discount of 26% or $730 on one of the most exciting model variants of the Alienware m18 R2.

Like many deals at the official online shop of the Texas-based PC maker, this sale requires bargain hunters to sign up for the company's newsletter and use the 10% that sometimes takes 30 minutes to arrive. The resulting sale price of $2,069 including free shipping is the lowest we've seen thus far for this specific RTX 4080 version.

Alienware gaming laptop with RTX 4080 and Core i9

The most important components of the Alienware m18 R2 is certainly the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 dGPU, which comes with 12GB GDDR6 VRAM and should be fast enough to play the majority of modern games at QHD and maximum settings.

Besides the fast dedicated graphics card, the high-end gaming laptop features the Intel Core i9-14900HX and 32GB DDR5 memory as well as a 1TB SSD. Furthermore, the Alienware m18 is equipped with an 18-inch IPS display with a QHD resolution of 2560 x 1600, Nvidia G-Sync and 100% DCI-P3 colors.

Alienware m18 R2 has robust metal case and great keyboard

Gamers who are interested in all the technical intricacies of the Alienware m18 R2 are recommended to read through our comprehensive review, which also contains measurements of the aforementioned Intel Core i9 CPU as well as the QHD screen. In addition to the capable main components, we also found that the 18-inch gaming laptop has a very sturdy chassis made out of metal.

Unfortunately, this comes at the expense of weight, as the Alienware m18 R2 weighs more than 9 lbs and should be treated as a rather stationary desktop gaming PC replacement. Last but not least, we also enjoyed the mechanical keyboard of this well-performing gaming machine, which is why shoppers with $2,000 to spend might want to take a closer look at this RTX 4080 beast.
