Tasteful design. Satisfying keyboard. Rear ports for easy docking. 240-Hz display is super smooth for fast-paced games. Large 90-WH battery lasts all day for typical work use. IPS display lacks HDR.

If you’re tight on space or want to PC game on your 4K TV, the Alienware Alpha R2 is worth a look — especially when coupled with the Alienware Graphics Amplifier.
