Alienware deals come and go quickly, so jump on this one soon if you’re interested. You can read more about the components in this machine below.

Why you should buy the Alienware x16 Gaming Laptop

The most important aspect of any gaming laptop is the components. This x16 configuration has the Intel Core Ultra 9 processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 GPU. That’s a beefy graphics card that tests the balance between overkill and price. It will have no problem running the newest AAA games for a few years. With 16GB of RAM in the graphics card and the additional 32GB in the full machine, you’ll have snappy performance. There are 2TB of SSD storage We’d like to call that “more than enough,” but if you’re playing a lot of modern PC games, you know that they’re getting bigger and bigger each year. It might be worth grabbing some external hard drive deals.

When it comes to gaming laptops, the display is equally as important as the internal components. While you might consider perusing some gaming monitor deals for use while playing at your home rig, you’ll be stuck with the one screen when you’re out and about. This one is a 16-inch FHD+ screen, with a 480Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time. It will get the job done, but an external monitor will help you get that response time down to 1ms.

This hefty machine isn’t cheap, but it does have a massive discount right now. You can buy it for $3,000 after a $600 price cut at Dell. Dell’s deals come and go faster than the tides, so grab this one today if you’ve had your eye out for a powerful system.
