Alienware has slashed the price of its powerhouse Alienware m18 R2 RTX 4090 gaming laptop to just $2,999.99—a hefty $600 discount! This behemoth is Alienware's most powerful laptop, designed as a true mobile desktop replacement. With an RTX 4090 mobile GPU, it rivals, and even surpasses, many dedicated gaming desktops.
This top-of-the-line configuration boasts Intel's i9 processor and Nvidia's most potent mobile GPU. It's as high-end as it gets.
The Alienware m18 R2, a 2024 upgrade, features Intel's 14th-gen HX processors and Wi-Fi 7. Its premium build includes a bead-blasted anodized aluminum chassis, a full-sized keyboard with numpad, and an aggressive Cryo-Tech cooling system with a vapor chamber, quad heatpipes, and four exhaust fans.
This configuration is undeniably powerful: an 18" 2560x1600 QHD+ 165Hz display, Intel Core i9-14900HX CPU, GeForce RTX 4090 (mobile) GPU, 32GB DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 2TB NVMe SSD. The 24-core, 32-thread i9-14900HX boasts a 5.8GHz max turbo clock speed—currently the best Intel mobile chip, outperforming even the latest Intel Core Ultra 9 CPUs.
The RTX 4090 mobile GPU, with a 165W TGP (150W + 15W dynamic boost), is the market leader by a significant margin, roughly equivalent to a desktop RTX 3090. It effortlessly handles any game at 2560x1600 or 1920x1200, and even higher resolutions on external monitors. In fact, it's the only mobile GPU I recommend for 4K gaming. This power demands a substantial 330W power brick.
If you need a primary gaming rig without portability compromises, the 4090 is the ultimate choice.
