The popular and powerful Alienware m18 R2 gaming laptop with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card, which usually sells for $3,100, is available for a discounted price of $2,600. There’s no telling how much time is remaining before you miss this chance at $500 in savings, but since this is one of the gaming laptop deals that’s been tagged by Dell as a “hot deal,” stocks may sell out quickly. If you think this is the perfect gaming laptop for you, push through with the purchase as soon as possible.

Why you should buy the Alienware m18 R2 gaming laptop

The Alienware m18 R2 is the upgraded successor of the Alienware m18 with even more powerful components inside — in addition to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card, the gaming laptop features the latest 14th-generation Intel Core i9 processor and 32GB of RAM that’s the sweet spot for high-end gamers, according to our guide on how much RAM do you need. Our laptop buying guide says gaming laptops should be able to keep up with the increasing requirements of the best PC games, and that won’t be a problem for the Alienware m18 R2 over the next few years.

Playing video games on the Alienware m18 R2 is made even more enjoyable by its massive 18-inch display, which comes with QHD+ resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. You’ll have a lot of choices on what to play because there’s enough space for several titles in the gaming laptop’s 2TB SSD, and with Windows 11 Home out of the box, you can start installing and downloading games right after unboxing the Alienware m18 R2.

There’s probably already a lot of eyes on Dell’s offer for the Alienware m18 R2 gaming laptop with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card, as it’s not every day that you have the opportunity to buy it at $500 off from Dell. Instead of $3,100, you’ll only have to pay $2,600. It’s still not cheap, but that’s actually a fantastic price for this premium device. Gamers can’t go wrong with the Alienware m18 R2 gaming laptop, but you need to complete your transaction for it immediately as there’s no assurance that this deal will still be online tomorrow.

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.

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.

Google Chrome

What does this new translate button actually do?
