The Alienware 15 R3 with Intel Core i5‑7300HQ, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD, and GTX 1050 Ti/GTX 1060 delivers a compelling mid‑range gaming experience. The FHD IPS display, solid build, customizable lighting, and VR-ready GPU make it a powerful choice. You can upgrade RAM and storage easily to enhance performance further. Battery life is modest—typical of full-power gaming machines—but its desktop-level power more than compensates for occasional need for a power outlet.
