Alienware m16 R2 (2024) (16” QHD+ 240Hz, Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, RTX 4070, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD)

Rejoice, Alienware fans as we are getting a new Alienware laptop in Nepal after a long, long time. It’s the Core Ultra 7 variant paired with a powerful RTX 4070, but it has a steep asking price. We also have a Core Ultra 9 variant.. Regardless, let’s quickly go through the features and specifications of the Dell Alienware m16 R2 (2024) alongside its price in Nepal and specifications!

Dell Alienware m16 R2 Overview:

Design and Display

The Dell Alienware m16 R2 is a gaming laptop that comes in an anodised aluminium build and Dark Metallic Moon colour. The laptop features the Alienware logo in purple and “16” engraved on the lid. This time around Dell has trimmed down the protrusion on the back of the Alienware m16 with a re-engineered internal cooling system. Despite the trimming, this laptop is still on the chunkier end weighing over 2.5 kg.

On the front, we are getting a 16-inch display with QHD+ resolution spanning 2,560 x 1,600 pixels. It offers a smooth refresh rate of 240 Hz alongside a response time of 3ms. Additionally, the screen comes with a 100% sRGB colour gamut with G-Sync, DDS, and ComfortView Plus support.

Performance

On the performance side of things, Dell’s Alienware m16 R2 can be configured with the latest Intel Core Ultra processors. Although there’s also a Core Ultra 7 155H variant, the one making its way to India will sport the more powerful Core Ultra 9 185H. Alongside that, the m16 R2 ships with up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 with 8GB of VRAM. But we’ll likely see the middle-of-the-road RTX 4060 instead.

Additionally, we are getting 16GB DDR5-5600 RAM with a dual-channel configuration as the memory. Meanwhile, this laptop ships with a 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD for storage. Furthermore, you can upgrade this laptop with up to 64GB of RAM and up to 8TB of SSD through two M.2 slots.

Battery and the rest

A 90Wh battery powers this laptop with 240W AC charging capability. The Dell Alienware m16 R2 offers wireless connectivity through Intel BE202 WiFi 7 and Bluetooth v5.4. Meanwhile, the port option here consists of two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, one Thunderbolt 4, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, one HDMI 2.1, one Ethernet port, one global headset jack, and one MicroSD card slot.
