The Alienware m16 R2 RTX 4070 is currently a surprisingly decent $2,698.30 from Dell, but if you generate a TechRadar 7% Dell coupon code and apply it at checkout you can get it for $2,509.42.
Intel Ultra 7 155H CPU
RTX 4070 8GB GPU
2560 x 1600, G-Sync, 240Hz, 3ms, 100% sRGB display
16GB (2x8GB) DDR5 RAM
1TB NVMe SSD
Thunderbolt 4
90Wh battery
Sure, it's $419.41 more expensive than the great deal on the Dell G16 7630 ($2,089.99 using a TechRadar Dell 7% coupon code) originally posted by OfficialBaka. If your focus is mostly on gaming, then the G16 is a better deal. But the Alienware m16 R2 has some key features that make it much better suited if you also want to use it for work purposes.
The G16 actually has the more powerful CPU, but the Alienware m16 has a newer more efficient CPU, a slightly thinner and lighter form, improvements such as Wi-Fi 7, IR webcam for facial recognition, power share, above average power profiles, very slightly larger battery, smaller power brick and premium inclusions such as the Alienware mSeries keyboard. To me these little extras are worth the cost - even more so if you will be carrying the laptop around a lot.
The m16 R2 4070 also comes in an Ultra 9 185H, 32GB RAM variant for $2,761.11 after 7% discount. The $251.62 extra makes for a very cheap RAM and CPU upgrade! I currently have this variant for review and have been impressed - especially when it comes to performance when running from USB-C, which is important for those who want to use it as a portable workstation.
There's also a RTX 4060 variant of the m16 but at $2,257.75 after 7% discount it's not that compelling.
For anyone who wants a cheaper option, the TechRadar 7% Dell coupon code also works on the Dell G15 5535, which means a Ryzen 7, RTX 4060 gaming laptop for just $1,504.85.
The Dell coupons on the TechRadar Dell coupon code include both a 7% and a 10% coupon. The 10% coupon works on various XPS laptops, but I was testing it on other products and found many work - including some Alienware accessories such as keyboards, mice, backpacks and headsets. In my testing the 7% off coupon code works on some (but not all) Alienware and Inspiron laptops and desktops, and G Series laptops, and consumer monitors. So worth taking a look!
Disclaimer: I work for TechRadar AU (don't worry, I have been an OzBargainer longer) and when not obsessing over power banks I trawl the internet for sweet sweet laptop deals. Posting them here means I can tell my boss that being on OzBargain all day is necessary. And of course it also means a bit of commission if people buy something using the TechRadar codes.

Dell needs to have bigger EOFY sale like 20% off, I like their X series, so thin & very exy too
