"Even with a last-gen, entry-level Nvidia RTX 4050 graphics chip, you'll pay $1,299 and up. (In some markets the laptop will start with an RTX 3050 - a five-year old chip!) An RTX 5050 will cost you $1,459 or more, and a mid-range RTX 5060 model costs $1,849 and up."
"For that kind of money you could easily find more powerful specs from a competing brand. Generally, a 5060 laptop can be had for $1,400 MSRP or closer to $1,100 on sale. Dell's RTX 5060 prices are squarely in RTX 5070 territory."
"Did I mention that the 15.3-inch, 1920 x 1200, 165Hz screen only displays 62.5 percent of the sRGB color spectrum? Yes, sRGB, not the superior Adobe RGB or DCI-P3. Even the lackluster Alienware 16 Aurora, the company's first stab at releasing a too-pricey budget machine, managed 100 percent of sRGB, and for less money too."
Alienware 15 is positioned as a five-pound entry-level gaming laptop, aiming to bring more buyers into the brand. The laptop is priced from $1,299 with an RTX 4050, and in some markets it may start with an RTX 3050. Higher configurations include an RTX 5050 at $1,459 or more and an RTX 5060 at $1,849 and up. Comparable competing laptops can offer stronger performance for less money, with RTX 5060 models often around $1,400 MSRP or near $1,100 on sale. The 15.3-inch 1920x1200 165Hz display covers only 62.5% of the sRGB color spectrum, which is weaker than prior Alienware options.
