Alienware m16 RTX 4060 Gaming Laptop for $1499.99
Alienware m16 16″ 2560×1600 (QHD+) AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX RTX 4060 Gaming Laptop
This Alienware m16 laptop comes equipped with a 16″ 2560×1600 QHD+ display, the latest AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX CPU, GeForce RTX 4060 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-4800MHz RAM and a 512GB SSD. The AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX CPU features a 5.1GHz max boost clock with 8 cores, 16 threads, and a sizeable 40MB cache. The newest AMD Ryzen CPUs are some of the fastest CPUs around. They are a rather signifcant performance bump over the previous generation Ryzen 7 6000 series CPUs and offer some serious competition for the Intel Core i7 and i9 Raptor Lake CPUs. It’s a good matchup with a current gen GPU like the RTX 40 series.
Performance-wise, the RTX 4060 mobile GPU sits right in between the RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti. It offers enough power to run games on the native 2560×1600 QHD+. An advantage of the newer RTX 40 series cards is DLSS 3.0, which is DLSS 2.0 with frame generation. For games that can support it (which is getting to be the norm for any game released in 2023), it offers a substantial fps increase with very minimal graphic compromises. Although it’s a great feature for gaming desktops, it really shines in laptop gaming where GPUs need to be inherently less powerful in order to keep heat and power consumption in check.
