Dell is celebrating this Presidents Day in the best way possible: with big discounts on gaming hardware. However, the best deal today on a gaming laptop is the powerful RTX 2070 8GB graphics card (Max-Q), i7-9750H CPU, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD/1TB (+8GB SSHD) hybrid drive, and 1440p display. Alienware m17, priced at $1,499.

This is a significant discount of $750 off this very expensive system, a savings of 30 percent. Weighing in at just over 5 lbs. and with a ton of horsepower, this is a great system. The 17-inch 1440p TN display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz is ideal for competitive games like "Street Fighter V" and "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare."

The only caveat is that the Max-Q design of the 2070 graphics card means slower performance than you can get with a regular 2070, but it still remains a beast of a laptop packed into a deceptively small frame.

With the money you save, you might also want to consider the best gaming mouse or a fancy new wireless gaming headset to go with your new laptop. Dell is also offering free shipping on this laptop, but this offer will not last forever. As of this writing, 78% of the bill has already been charged.
