This laptop boasts a 16" 2560x1600 QHD+ display and is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor paired with a GeForce RTX 4070 GPU. It comes equipped with 16GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, a power-efficient, low-voltage Meteor Lake CPU, offers a max turbo frequency of 4.8GHz and 16 total cores. While Best Buy does offer a Core Ultra 9 model for an additional $300, gamers may not find it necessary to upgrade as most games are primarily limited by the GPU, not the CPU.
To run games smoothly at the enhanced 2560x1600 resolution, substantial GPU power is essential. Alienware ensures the RTX 4070 in the m16 R2 operates without throttling, with a 115W TGP (140W with Dynamic Boost). This GPU is robust enough to run most games at 60fps or higher on the 1600p display, with even better performance when leveraging DLSS 3.0 technology.
Purchasing from Best Buy, an authorized Dell retailer, grants you the same one-year warranty as buying directly from Dell. The laptop is in stock and can be delivered within a week.
