What is the Cheapest Alienware laptop?: Ever wonder

Number one on our list we have Alienware 13-inch laptop released back in 2014 as a replacement for M11x.

Gamers who want on-the-go fragging will prefer the tiny terror that is the Alienware 13. It’s the perfect size to stow away in a backpack or a large purse while staying on a budget.

Despite its diminutive size, the laptop doesn’t skimp on the glowing Alienware accouterments, but the hands-down best thing about the Alienware 13 is its mesmerizing optional 13.3-inch OLED display in this low-price category.

The glossy 2560 x 1440 touch panel is stunningly vivid with precise detail. In our tests, the screen reproduced an astonishing 206 percent of the sRGB color gamut with a dazzling 292 nits of brightness, In simple words, the display awesome.

Whether playing games, watching movies, or looking at pictures, the Alienware 13 is truly a sight to behold.

In terms of display-pixels, the Alienware 13 also comes in 1080p and 1366 x 768 varieties, but if you can’t spring for the OLED screen, go for the 1080p option. Under no circumstances should you even consider the 1366 x 768 model unless you like looking at lackluster color and muddy graphics.

As far as our verdict is concerned, the Alienware 13 has the most dazzling laptop screen of its time in a portable design with powerful graphics performance and excellent audio.

Hence the best buy if you can go for an older version.

The pros and cons of the Alienware 13, which we felt made a difference are as follows:

Pros

  • Super vivid OLED display
  • Great graphics performance for the price
  • Excellent audio quality
  • Superb keyboard

Cons

  • CPU performance could be better
  • Bottom runs hot

2nd on the list we have a 15.6 inch Alienware laptop.

Gaming on the go doesn’t need to break the bank. The Alienware 15 offers a solid mobile gaming machine with all the bells, whistles, and customizable lighting that you’ve come to expect from Alienware.

With a 1920 x 1080 anti-glare screen, very reliable Intel Core-i5 CPU, 16GB of RAM, combo 128GB SSD and 1TB HDD, and an Nvidia GeForce 970M GPU, this affordable portable can push pixels fast, and even faster with the optional Graphics Amp.

While the Alienware 15 isn’t quite as sleek as other gaming notebooks, it also less than competing systems from Razer and Gigabyte, and for that, it deserves some serious consideration.

When you buy an Alienware, you know it. The tri-section aluminum lid looks like paneling from a spaceship and features the trademark glowing alien head.

The black carbon fiber body (Alienware says it’s the lightest 15-inch system it ever made) offers a smooth matte finish, grilles in front that look like they came off of a Ferrari F40, and giant vents on the back and bottom.

Performance vice, a side benefit of the Alienware 15’s gaming-focused design is that it also makes short work of typical workloads such as editing photos or streaming movies.

Thanks to its Intel CPU and 16 gigs RAM, even with 10 tabs open in Chrome and 15 photos open in GIMP, you will have no trouble streaming 1080p movies from YouTube.

  • Highly customizable
  • Optional Graphics Amplifier
  • More affordable than the competition
  • High-quality audio

ir?t=wereviewssl 20&language=en US&l=li2&o=1&a=B00SIJG8PQ

Our third pick is the Alienware 17 R4 offers excellent gaming performance, a comfy keyboard, and an attractive design, but lower-end configurations suffer from dim screens and slow storage.

Alienware’s 2017 offerings keep their classic, angular spaceship cases the same as its previous versions, but much has changed on the inside.

The Alienware 17 packs a 7th-generation “Kaby Lake” Intel CPU and Nvidia GTX 1070 or 1080 GPUs that are perfect for virtual reality.

The laptop also has Tobii eye-tracking to play games with your peepers. If you can spend the money on one of its more expensive configurations, the Alienware 17 is the 17-inch mobile gaming rig to beat.

The Alienware 17 R4 offers a great combination of strong performance, comfortable typing, innovative eye-tracking, and attractive design.

With its lower-end components, you may also get all-day battery life and, with the optional graphics amp, you can get even stronger performance.
