While a proper explanation of color gamuts is outside the scope of this response, I will grossly oversimplify it by describing it as the capacity of the screen to display colors. The srgb color space is the most basic, limited, and widespread color space in existence, basically all content you'll see online is designed to be viewed in the srgb color space. Many cheaper panels have ~65% or lower srgb coverage, which means that colors will appear incredibly washed out. Manufacturers will often try to obscure this by listing the less well known ntsc color space instead of srgb in the specs. While not directly comparable, 45% ntsc is roughly similar to 62% srgb and 72% ntsc is roughly similar to 99% srgb. I personally consider a screen with 62% srgb coverage to be a massive detriment, absolutely everything appears incredibly washed out, dull, and flat out wrong. Having 99% srgb (72% ntsc) coverage should be good for standard media consumption and single player gaming (where visual quality is more relevant), and is the minimum you should accept in a laptop over $600 unless the other specs are absolutely incredible for the price. For color sensitive productivity work you'd want a screen that has good coverage of dci-p3 and adobe rgb gamuts, but if you're doing color sensitive work you already know that so there's no point on going into more detail here. If you want a more detailed explanation on color spaces, this article is more focused on photography but still provides a good explanation of the basics: https://photographylife
It's really a shame that some braindead executive at lenovo decided to neuter this laptop by saving $10 bucks on the screen panel at the expense of drastically lowering visual quality. Funnily enough, that means the lower end FHD 144hz 300nit 100%srgb screen lenovo includes in their lower end "loq" series laptops is meaningfully better than the one in this premium "legion" series laptop.

I looked up your alienware, it does 110% sRGB https://www.laptopmag.c
Seems the RAM and hard drive is upgradeable and I'm guessing a better processor won't be necessary for me since I'll only be playing games every once in awhile and mostly be using this for work (microsoft office)?
