Alienware m18 R2 Gaming Laptop for $2,379 (Save $420): This beast of a gaming laptop is for users looking for the top-of-the-line in terms of power and hardware (and don't mind a heavy machine with a massive display).
Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7640 for $1,301 (Save $348): Dell's Inspiron series isn't solely designed for gaming, but rather as a well-rounded but powerful configuration that can handle games and photo and video editing.
We just reviewed the Razer Blade 14 earlier this summer, and ZDNET's laptop expert Cesar Cadenas was impressed with the impressive hardware on board (we're talking an AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU) and all of the hallmarks you'd expect to see on a gaming laptop for $1,994.
Featuring an AMD Ryzen 5 7640HS Hexa-Core CPU and a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card, Acer's Nitro 16 is a mid-tier gaming machine that performs above its pay grade, especially at this price. On sale for $799, this laptop is $200 off the regular price.
From Asus' flagship line of gaming PCs, this year's ROG Strix G16 has only been out for a few months but has already made an impression with its powerful hardware. Featuring a 16-inch, Full HD 165Hz display and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060, this laptop is equal parts efficient and powerful.
This is the ultimate gaming laptop, and one that I went hands-on with earlier this year. The m18 R2 is a beast, to put it simply. It's big, it's powerful, and it's ready for anything you can throw at it. The sale configuration features 18 QHD+ 165Hz 3ms Display, Intel Core i9 32GB DDR5 RAM, 1 TB SSD featuring a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU for $2,379.99, for a savings of $420.
Dell's Inspiron series isn't solely designed for gaming, but rather as a well-rounded but powerful line of laptops that can adapt to a variety of uses. Case in point: the Inspiron 16 Plus 7640, which, with a 16-inch 2.5K display, Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU, and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060, performs equally well with gaming as it does with creator tasks like photo and video editing and media playback.
