For the starting version. Each part is measured the same way for every laptop (processor and graphics from benchmark results) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • Strong 1080p gaming with a 165 Hz screen
  • Good CPU speed for work apps
  • Often discounted
  • Slimmer than most 15-inch gaming laptops
  • Stiff, drop-tested body
  • New hinge makes it smaller than older Alienwares
  • Good 1080p/1200p gaming, helped by DLSS

Cons

  • Dim screen with weak colours
  • Single-channel RAM out of the box hurts speed
  • Only 512 GB SSD
  • Plasticky body, spongy keys, rough touchpad
  • Short battery life
  • Confusing set of versions, some with older GPUs
  • Dim, low-colour screen
  • TechRadarAug 2026

    Tested Ryzen 7 260 + RTX 5050, 16 GB single-channel/512 GB: strong 1080p gaming for the money in the US, but the screen, single RAM stick, small SSD and plasticky build let it down.

  • TechaerisJul 2026

    Tested Core 7 240H + RTX 5050 (example config, $1,499): a sensible, tough everyday gaming laptop for people on a budget, not for colour work or quiet use.
