Alienware x17 R2 w/ RTX 3080 Ti – $3,200 (Save $600)
Yes, this is the same model as listed above, but the specs are somehow even more impressive. The RTX 3080 Ti is one of the best GPUs outside the RTX 3090 and newer RTX 40 series. You really won’t find a better card in a laptop. Featuring the same 17.3-inch FHD screen, the x17 R2 is simply more focused on frame rates than graphical fidelity. In addition to 32GB of DDR5 RAM (compared to 16GB), this model of the x17 is virtually identical to the one offered with the RTX 3070 Ti – 12th-gen Intel CPU, 1TB SSD, etc..
