Dell is clearing stock of its one-year old Alienware m15 R1 SKUs likely to make room for the upcoming Comet Lake-H SKUs. The Core i7-9750H CPU and GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q GPU are still powerhouses especially at this price range.

High-end gaming laptops always launch for exorbitantly high prices since OEMs know that enthusiasts are willing to pay for them. Perhaps as a direct result, these same models tend to have steeper price drops relative to other laptops. The latest sale involves a fully-configured 15.6-inch Dell Alienware m15 R1 with top-of-the-line components for just $1400 down from its initial launch price of $2350.

To see the sale price, users will have to configure with the Core i7-9750H CPU, 2x 512 GB SSD, and GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q GPU and then apply the coupon code 'AW950OFF' at checkout. The deal is notable because of its 144 Hz display, graphics, and dual storage options which normally cost hundreds more on competing gaming laptops.

The main catch is that the Alienware m15 R1 has already been superceded by the Alienware m15 R2. But as we noted in our review of the Alienware m15 R2, however, the Alienware m15 R1 actually has a handful of advantages including upgradeable RAM, a larger battery, and more.
