My favorite 18-inch gaming laptop is now $700 off

The Alienware M18 stormed the shelves last year, riding a wave of larger gaming laptops making their way back into the mainstream. After testing a number of behemoths from various brands, though, I came to the conclusion that the aliens have done it best. Between the cheaper configuration options compared to Razer and Asus, and the turbo charged power under the hood, the Alienware M18 was a standout rig for me last year - and it made its way to my ranking of the best gaming laptops on the market because of it. 

Flash forward to today and we've got a particularly special discount. The RTX 4070 configuration of last year's model is taking a massive $700 discount in Dell's latest gaming laptop deals. That means you can scoop up the Ryzen 9 setup for $1,799.99 (was $2,499.99). That's a fantastic price for an RTX 4070 gaming laptop of this size, especially considering the extra space in the chassis can draw plenty of power out of that GPU. 

If you're looking for something a little cheaper, the RTX 4060 configuration is also on sale for just $1,499.99 (was $2,049.99) at Dell. That's a full $550 off the final price, leaving us with an excellent rate considering I rarely see machines of this size dropping below $1,500. If you're after a desktop replacement that won't break the bank this is as good as it gets this week. 

You'll find all the details on both these Alienware gaming laptops just below and plenty more gaming laptop deals further down the page.
