Doesn't seem like a great price, especially compared to the $1000 higher end version of this system (more ram, bigger SSD, better GPU) mentioned in this review: https://www.reddit.com/r/Alienwar...eview_and/

5050 in an Alienware means it is really just another Dell with RGB in a plastic box.

Agree, this is a "deal" only because it has the Alienware brand.
For people who are looking into this, you can sign up for the dell newsletter and that should give you another 10% off coupon (so price is around $820 or so)

Well... on the bright side the RTX 5050 comes with 8gb of vram. Instead of 6gb. It's something!

Why do tech companies suck at naming their products. In a normal world a 5050 shouldn't be worse than a 4060...

I propose all cards of 5000+ be better than all cards of 4000+. Don't move to the next thousands place until the cards are better.

GPU portion is trash-tier. Buyer beware.
