When it comes to gaming PCs and laptops, several leading names kind to mind. Among them are Dell's gaming division, Alienware. Through this Thursday, you can pick up one of Alienware's finest m17 R5 Dark Side of the Moon gaming laptops for $300 off what you'd usually pay.

There's no getting around it --- the Alienware m17 R5 is a beast in every way. As its name suggests, this model comes with a massive 17-inch full HD display for immersive gameplay on the go. Under the hood sits a powerful AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX chip alongside an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti GPU for high-end performance. You also get a 1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD for quick loading times and 16GB of DDR5 RAM. A beast it is, indeed.

Alienware currently maintains two laptop lines. There's the ultra-thin X series that priorities portability, while the beefier M series is all about getting the most out of a mobile gaming machine. While the latter is noticeably chunkier, this added bulk allows for better cooling and higher wattages. In the end, the m17 R5 is designed to produce better overall performance during extended gaming sessions.

You can get the Alienware m17 R5 gaming laptop on your desk for $1,999.99 ($300 off). It comes in a sleek charcoal black color cleverly coined the "Dark Side of Moon." This offer is only valid through Thursday, October 27, so get after it while you can.
