The Alienware x16 delivers the goods with its powerful RTX 40 series-driven performance, large 16-inch 240Hz display and futuristic design. While pricey, you’re getting a machine that runs games like a dream — and looks great to match. The laptop can run hot based on our testing but overall you’re certainly getting your money’s worth.
