The Alienware m16 R2 is the gaming laptop that you should buy if you want excellent performance when playing the best PC games. It’s powered by the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card, alongside 32GB of RAM that’s the sweet spot for high-end gamers, according to our guide on how much RAM do you need. You’ll enjoy the graphics of modern PC gaming on its 16-inch screen with QHD+ resolution, with smooth animations provided by its 240Hz refresh rate. The gaming laptop also ships with Windows 11 Pro pre-loaded in its 1TB SSD, which will provide enough storage space for several AAA titles with all of their required updates and optional DLCs.

If you’re willing to spend more to get a gaming laptop with a premium design, then you should choose the Alienware x16. It’s also equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor and 32GB of RAM, but with the more powerful Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card. Its 16-inch screen offers an amazing refresh rate of up to 480Hz to go with its FHD+ resolution, for even more impressive movements on the display, and while its built-in operating system is only the Windows 11 Home, you’ll get much more storage space for your games because it ships with a 2TB SSD.

However, if you want to pocket the savings of $995, you're going to have to be quick with your purchase as there's no telling when this bargain expires.

Why you should buy the Alienware Aurora R16 gaming desktop
The Alienware Aurora R16, which received a rating of four out of five stars in our review, sits on top of our list of the best gaming PCs. Compared to the Alienware Aurora R15, this latest version of the gaming desktop is around half the size without compromising power or thermals, with upgraded internals for even better performance. In addition to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card, this configuration of the Alienware Aurora R16 features the 14th-generation Intel Core i9 processor and 64GB of RAM, which our guide on how to buy a gaming desktop says would be useful for those who will use their machine for other purposes beyond gaming, such as editing videos.
