For one of the best gaming laptop deals around, check out what Dell has to offer. Whether you’re looking for a gift for someone else or you want to treat yourself, you’ll love being able to buy the Alienware m16 R2 gaming laptop for $1,950 right now. It normally costs $2,395, so you’re saving $445 off the regular price, which is a pretty sweet deal. We’re here with all the insight into what this laptop has to offer, but bear in mind that the deal is likely to end soon.

Why you should buy the Alienware m16 R2 gaming laptop
One of the best gaming laptop brands around, Alienware knows what gamers love. Its M series is powerful if bulky, so this range is best for those looking for a desktop replacement and not too fussed about portability. This particular model has an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H CPU teamed up with a huge 64GB of RAM and 2TB of SSD storage. It has a graphics card that’s slightly less powerful than the top-of-the-line: an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060. There’s a good amount of future proofing here, particularly with the large storage, given game installs are getting pretty hefty these days.

Black Friday’s best PC hardware deal is still live, and you’re sleeping on it

The Ryzen 5 7600X sitting among thermal paste and RAM.

I'm not mad, just disappointed. A couple of weeks ago, I covered the insane deal that essentially allowed you to score a Ryzen 5 7600X -- still one of the best processors you can buy -- for just $105. At the time, I thought, surely, this will sell out in a matter of hours. Who would pass up on a deal this good? And yet, two weeks later to the day, the craziest deal I've seen during all of Black Friday and Cyber Monday is still live on Newegg.

Let me break down the deal again. You can get the Ryzen 5 7600X for $225, which is not a good price. However, you can get an additional $30 off by using promo code DLCDZ342, bringing the price down to $195. The kicker is that you also get a free Team Group MP44L 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. That's a $90 hard drive that Newegg is just throwing in with a CPU that's already available for a decent price. The fact that the deal is still live suggests either Newegg has a ton of inventory, or not enough people know about this sale.
