I have a constantly rotating roster of gaming laptops to review year-round, so when I find one that already offers strong value out the box at MSRP on sale, it immediately piques my interest. I already rate the Alienware M16 as the best value Alienware laptop on the shelves right now, but with $600 off an RTX 4070 configuration Dell's early Black Friday gaming laptop deals are working particularly hard this week.
You can pick up a solid upper mid-range configuration, with that 240Hz QHD+ display no less, for just $1,399.99 right now at Dell. That's a significant saving over the $1,999.99 MSRP - and a price position I've only seen much cheaper rigs hit over the last couple of weeks (budget Asus A15 and Acer Nitro rigs, for example). Considering the boost in build quality, this is one of the best early Black Friday gaming laptop deals I've come across so far.
This rig is more powerful than the RTX 4060 model I tested, and I was still seeing reliable three figure framerates in at highest settings in games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and managing to squeeze a minimum of 80fps out of more demanding titles like Returnal in the same conditions. That's some serious engineering at a price few of even the best gaming laptops can beat right now.

Save $600 - This is a stunning price on an RTX 4070 configuration of the luxurious Alienware M16. Gaming laptop deals like this just don't hit outside of Black Friday, sending you home with a premium chassis and all the power to make it sing.
