Short answer : No.

Long entertaining answer: https://youtu.be/UnvxSkqJ8ic

My 2cents: Get individual parts and build your own. Don't go through the hassle I went through because I bought an Alienware. I ended up ditching the entire thing and taking only the GPU and CPU. Built my own.

I tried dell support to solve the stuttering/throttling problems I had due to their case being effectively a proprietary cheap oven. Their proposed solution? Lowering the graphics. The truth is that the only solution was to ditch Alienware. Alienware with liquid cooled CPU at + 90 C, GPU at +80 C.

With my DIY build, CPU and GPU are overclocked. CPU nor the GPU pass 70 C under stress tests. No stuttering or throttling while gaming or dumb issues like the Alienware had.
This computer is probably straight garbage I bought a very similar Alienware and it seems like a great deal until you actually look inside the motherboard is garbage and can't be used in other builds because the front connectors are proprietary. They use Intel mounting for CPU cooling for amd CPU the case has terrible airflow and also you can't use the case anywhere else due to proprietary power switch. Basically once you realize that all your parts are insanely hot your out a case motherboard. I recommend Lenovo they don't do that crap
With prices falling below MSRP, we've swung back into normalcy, where it's cheaper to build your own gaming computer than to buy a prebuilt. It's really not very challenging to build your own and there's lots of good videos and articles out there that will walk you through exactly how to do it. Also, it'll make it easier and cheaper to upgrade as time goes on.

Amazing how I've had 4 alienware's and not a single issue. You guys probably screw with some setting and don't fully understand what you're doing.

Being ignorant to the issues is not the same as not having issues. The Alienware has major issues straight out of the box. Those same issues become worse during 4K gaming or most heavy workloads.

Someone educate me please. What are the major differences between R13, R14 and R15. R14 seems to be only Ryzen, R15 Intel as with R13. Am I missing something and the components other than the CPU chipset are the same?

Per reviews on YouTube R15 has better airflow compared to R13 but I don't personally own any so not a 100% sure myself.

I am looking to buy a PC for my daughter. Can some experts here please let me know if this system is ok for $990? She would use the PC for (moderate) gaming and homework. She would normally have lots of apps and tabs open at the same time.

I would need to add at least another 8GB of RAM. Can someone please let me know which RAM stick would work with this? Dell wants $100 for an extra 8GB.

I do have a 512SSD and a hard disk from my old PC to move over. Or should I just buy new drives?
Thanks.

If you are patient, you can find a system with 16GB or RAM and a 512GB-1TB SSD already installed in this price range. Here are some recent examples, and I didn't even looked hard (and some of these deals are still available). I am not saying these PCs are necessarily better or that they would completely match your needs (I don't know your exact needs), but they are better values in general than the Dell XPS you found.
