Alienware m18 18″ RTX 4090 Gaming Laptop for $3099.99
The Alienware m18 is the biggest Alienware laptop you can buy, with an imposing 18″ 1920×1200 display and weigning in at 8.9 pounds. The build quality is exceptional, with a bead-blasted anodized aluminum chassis and plenty of RGB accent lighting. The Alienware m18 does a great job of keeping the internal components cool, thanks to a Cryo-Tech cooling sytem that incorporates a vapor chamber with quad heatpipes and four system fans exhausing heat out of the case.
Full specs include an 18″ 2560×1600 QHD 165Hz display, Intel Core i9-14900HX CPU, GeForce RTX 4090 (mobile) GPU, 64GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM and an absolutely massive 4TB NVMe SSD. The 14th generation Intel Core i9-14900HX processor boasts 24 cores and 32 threads with a max turbo clock speed of 5.8GHz. It’s actually more powerful than any of the newer Intel Core Ultra 9 CPUs that are currently available. You won’t find anything better from a mobile Intel chip.
The RTX 4090 is still the most powerful mobile GPU on the market, and by a very substantial margin. It’s roughly equivalent to a desktop RTX 3090 GPU. It has more than enough power to run most games at a full 165fps on the 2560×1600 display. Some laptop manufacturers gimp the GPU in order to reduce heat and power requirements. The m18 laptop, however, is not gimped at all. Instead it compensates with an incredibly robust cooling system. This does add weight and power consumption (this one comes with a 330W power brick), but gaming performance is paramount.
