Alienware m16 R2 | RTX 4070 | Intel Core Ultra 7 155H | 16-inch | 1600p | 1 TB SSD | 16 GB DDR5 5600 | $1,899.99$1,299.99 at Best Buy (save $600) This Alienware gaming laptop not only offers what we'd expect to see in a $1,200 machine in 2024, but it comes with one somewhat unexpected item.
That's the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, a low-power processor from the Meteor Lake generation. With 16 cores total, this chip makes a good pairing with a 140 W RTX 4070 for a smart gaming laptop overall. Price check: Dell $1,299.99 (with Core Ultra 9/RTX 4060) If you're in the market for a Black Friday gaming laptop deal, you've come to the right place.
I've just spotted a deal over at Best Buy that sees this Alienware m16 R2 gaming laptop going for $1,300 ($600 off). That's a much better price for this machine that you'll find even over in Dell's own Black Friday sale.
It's a pretty nifty machine from the specs sheet. An RTX 4070 is a given at this price, but the choice of processor is a little outside of the norm.
It's an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H—that's one of Intel's Meteor Lake processors. Meteor Lake was devised as a lower-power mobile processor mostly for thin-and-light laptops.
