Alienware's First Affordable Gaming Laptop Is Arriving At The Perfect Time

Alienware launched the Alienware 15, its first budget-friendly gaming laptop, starting at $1,299.

It comes in AMD and Intel versions, with up to an RTX 4050, a 15.3-inch 165Hz display, and a slimmer design.

The laptop adds modern ports and better portability, while early hands-on impressions say it offers solid value.

Trade-offs include no microSD slot and only a basic webcam, but it gives Alienware a more affordable entry point.
