If you buy through a link here, the store pays me a small commission. Your price stays exactly the same. How that works.
My short take
The base Alienware 15 is $1,199.99 at Dell with a Ryzen 5 220, an RTX 4050 with 6GB and a 165Hz 1920x1200 screen. The screen covers only 62.5% of sRGB, and the 54 Wh battery is small for a 2.2 kg machine. Dell's page also showed a sold-out notice.
