With the Alienware 15, I’m a bit more bearish than I usually am when giving a laptop a first look—and I tend to give an untested laptop the benefit of the doubt. But I have two reasons why. First, I have high expectations not only from an Alienware machine (the company has a hard-won reputation for premium quality, after all), but also from any laptop that costs much more than $1,000, especially a gaming model. I’m just as deeply sensitive to getting the most for your money as I am to the expected life of the product. And the RTX 4050 launched in laptops in early 2023. Oof! Second, I’ve written and edited enough gaming-laptop reviews over the years to have a good idea of how these configurations will perform, particularly with GPUs we’ve tested dozens of times.

Look, Alienware 15 doesn't have anything you can't already get elsewhere. But that's not the point. The point is that now you can get it from Alienware, with everything that brand stands for. Great cooling systems, a penchant for performance, and a quirky laptop chassis that nobody will mistake for another manufacturer.
