Dell has reduced the price of its high-end Alienware m18 R2 gaming laptop by $600 and it's an absolutely fantastic machine for the price.

This GPU is commonly seen on laptops ranging over $1,200 and is capable of outputting some serious performance even on the most graphically demanding of titles.

Technology is improving at such a rate that soon we should have desktop RTX 4090 performance within reasonable svelte gaming laptops, maybe as soon as the next-generation.
