This laptop boasts a 16" 2560x1600 QHD+ display, powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor and 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 is a power-efficient, low-voltage Meteor Lake CPU, capable of reaching a max turbo frequency of 4.8GHz with 16 total cores. Although Best Buy offers a Core Ultra 9 model for an additional $300, gamers will likely find little benefit in upgrading, as most games are GPU-bound rather than CPU-limited.
To run games smoothly at the enhanced 2560x1600 resolution, a robust GPU is essential. Alienware ensures the RTX 4070 in the m16 R2 operates without throttling, delivering a 115W (140W with Dynamic Boost) TGP. The RTX 4070 is potent enough to run most games at 60fps or higher on the 1600p display, and even higher with DLSS 3.0 support.
As an authorized Dell retailer, Best Buy provides the same 1-year warranty as Dell, and the laptop is in stock, promising delivery within a week.
