One of the best Dell Black Friday deals takes $400 off the Alienware m18 R2 RTX 4070 graphics Although we didn't get our hands on this exact laptop, in our Alienware m16 R2 review, we praise its excellent design, gaming, and productivity performance. We expect the RTX 40 series m18 R2 to be on par with its 16-inch sibling.

Amazon has it on sale for just $749 ahead of Black Friday, or $250 off its $999 MSRP. That's a 25% savings and a new record-low, matching the cheapest price the 8GB version saw. (The same deal was live at Best Buy for the paid tiers of its membership program on Thursday, Nov. 14; it'll be open to everyone there on Friday, Nov. 15.)

One of our favorite gaming laptops, the Asus ROG Strix G16, is currently 17% off at Walmart for Black Friday. This model features an elegant design, with a customizable backlit keyboard and light strip underneath the trackpad. The modern hardware delivers years’ worth of high-end gameplay, and you can save $300 on the laptop right now.
