Introduction of a Budget Model
Alienware, a company with 30 years in the industry, has introduced its first budget gaming laptop, the Alienware 15. This release comes at a time when computer manufacturers are facing challenges with increasing RAM prices, making an affordable option a timely addition to the market.
Design and Build
The Alienware 15 features a toned-down design compared to its premium predecessors. It is constructed primarily from black plastic and lacks the extensive RGB lighting found on other Alienware models. The laptop includes a white-backlit keyboard and an opalescent Alienware logo on the lid.
Despite its budget focus, the Alienware 15 offers a solid build with minimal flex and a firm keyboard. It also includes a numpad and a decent, though soft, touchpad. The laptop weighs just under five pounds.
Connectivity and Display
The Alienware 15 provides a range of connectivity options, including two USB-A 3.2 ports, two USB-C connections (one with power delivery and DisplayPort 1.4 support), HDMI 2.1, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a 1Gb Ethernet port.
The display is a 15.3-inch panel with a 1920 x resolution. The review notes that the display quality could be improved, suggesting it is an area where cost-cutting measures were applied.
