Why you should buy the Alienware m18 R2 gaming laptop

Alienware is one of the best gaming laptop brands, so whatever you buy from it, you’ll be happy. With the Alienware m18 R2, you get a 14th-generation Intel Core i9-14900HX processor teamed up with 32GB of memory and 2TB of SSD storage arranged in a Raid setup, giving you two separate 1TB SSD drives. The shining star here is the graphics card: the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 with 16GB of dedicated VRAM. Whatever you play will look spectacular here.

That’s further helped by the display, which is a gorgeously high-end 18-inch QHD+ screen with 2560 x 1600 resolution, 165Hz refresh rate, and 3ms response time. It also offers 100% DCI-P3 color and Nvidia G-Sync and DDS support. Because of its size, it’s not really a particularly portable laptop, but it’s a great gaming desktop replacement.

Adding to reasons why it’s one of the best gaming laptops, the Alienware m18 R2 also has a gorgeous RGB backlit per-key keyboard, full HD IR camera, and exceptional cooling. Alienware Cryo-tech means you get great system stability with limited risk of overheating no matter how long you’re playing for. Even built-in audio is great thanks to Dolby Atmos support.

The Alienware m18 R2 gaming laptop usually costs $3,600, but right now you can buy it for $3,000. A great discount of $600, this laptop will keep your gamer heart happy for a long time to come. Take a look for yourself.

These are the compact printers I’d actually recommend for back-to-school
From dorm room paperwork to instant selfie prints, there's a tiny printer for every need.
Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

Everything is digital until the one professor who still wants a printed essay, or the lease you need to sign in ink, or the photo you want to stick on your dorm room’s wall. That's usually the exact moment you remember you don't own a printer anymore, and the nearest one is a library machine with a line out the door.

I looked at four compact printers that solve that problem without taking over your desk and breaking the bank. Two are built for documents, one is a proper all-in-one for actual home office work, and one has nothing to do with homework and everything to do with turning your camera roll into something you can hold.

Shopping for back-to-school? These are the webcam lights I’d actually turn on before a Zoom call
From a budget clip light to a proper desk setup, there's a webcam light here for every price.
Head, Person, Face

Between online classes, group project calls, and the occasional job interview over Zoom, your webcam will be doing a lot more heavy lifting in school than it ever did at home. The problem is that most laptop cameras are bad in low light, and a single overhead bulb or a window behind you turns every call into a game of "wait, can you see me okay?"

A good webcam light fixes that faster than moving your whole desk around. I picked five, starting with the most affordable and working up to the one that's genuinely overkill for a Zoom call but still worth knowing about.

What does this new translate button actually do?
