If you're looking to grab a new gaming laptop, then one of the most well-known brands is Alienware, and it's fair to say that it has some of the best you can find on the market. In fact, if you're looking for the best money can buy, it will be hard to beat this configuration of the Alienware m18 R2, which comes with a whopping RTX 4090 mobile. Of course, getting the best of the best is going to be pricey, which is why we're happy to see this deal from Dell that knocks it down to $3,200 from the original $3,800, which is still quite pricey, but the $600 discount is well worth it.

Why you should buy the Alienware m18 R2
This configuration of the Alienware m18 R2 comes with an RTX 4090 mobile, although it is worth mentioning that mobile GPUs tend to be a step down from the desktop versions, so this is closer to the performance of an RTX 4080. Even so, that's still a powerful card, especially since this laptop runs an 18-inch QHD resolution, while the RTX 4080 is close to a 4K GPU, so you'll easily hit 60-80fps with the highest graphical settings on the latest games. Interestingly, the screen can go up to 165Hz refresh rate, so if you want to prioritize that for things like competitive games, you can absolutely do that, too.
