If you’re in the market for a Black Friday gaming laptop deal, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve just spotted a deal over at Best Buy that sees thisAlienwarem16 R2 gaming laptop going for$1,300($600 off). That’s a much better price for this machine that you’ll find even over inDell’s own Black Friday sale.
It’s a pretty nifty machine from the specs sheet. An RTX 4070 is a given at this price, but the choice of processor is a little outside of the norm. It’s an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H—that’s one of Intel’s Meteor Lake processors.
Meteor Lake was devised as a lower-power mobile processor mostly for thin-and-light laptops. Though we’ve seen more and more of them making the shift to gaming machines, such as theHP Omen Transcend 14. We liked the chip in that machine, it performed well in our own benchmarking, even if it did get a bit toasty in that small shell.
👉We’re curating the best Black Friday PC gaming deals right here👈
The Alienware is a 16-inch gaming laptop, which is the form factor I’d go for right now. Moreover this is the resolution and refresh rate I’d want in a laptop if I were buying right now: 2560 x 1600 and 240 Hz.
That’s the sweet spot for PC gaming on the go. It’s a reasonably high resolution to push in some triple-A games, even for the RTX 4070, though with DLSS and Frame Gen you’re sitting pretty. The 16:10 aspect ratio also gives that little more room to work with for any non-gaming activities.
Alongside all that sits 16 GB of DDR5 running at 5,600 MT/s and a 1 TB SSD. However, checking out a positive review from our sister siteTom’s Hardware, they note that there’s a spare NVMe slot free and the memory isn’t soldered for future expansion.

Just note, you could buy a cheaper RTX 4070 gaming laptop than this. We’ve highlighted one over in ourBlack Friday gaming laptops dealspage: this MSI Katana 15 is$1,159right now, but it’s only 1200p.
