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 m16 R2 gaming laptop going for ($600 off). That's a much better price for this [[link]] machine that you'll find even over in .
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.

The Alienware is a 16-inch gaming laptop, which is the form factor I'd go for right now. Moreover this is the resolution and refresh rate I'd want in a laptop if I were buying right now: 2560 x 1600 and 240 Hz.
That's the sweet spot for PC gaming on the go. It's a reasonably high resolution to push in some triple-A games, even for the RTX 4070, though with DLSS and Frame Gen you're sitting pretty. The 16:10 aspect ratio also gives that little more room to work with for any non-gaming activities.
Alongside all that sits 16 GB of DDR5 running at 5,600 MT/s and a 1 TB SSD. However, checking out a positive review from our sister site , they note that there's a spare NVMe slot free and the memory isn't soldered for future expansion.
Just note, you could buy a cheaper RTX 4070 gaming laptop than this. We've highlighted one over in our page: this MSI Katana 15 is right now, but it's only 1200p.
