Dell’s Alienware expands budget lineup with new ultrawide monitor and 15‑inch laptop

Dell’s Alienware brand has introduced two lower‑priced gaming products aimed at a wider audience. The Alienware AW3426DW is a 34‑inch ultrawide monitor that uses Samsung’s next‑generation Tandem QD‑OLED panel, delivering higher brightness, deeper blacks and vivid colours. Priced at $799 (£709), it is positioned as a strong value proposition compared with similar premium models, offering a sleek design with minimal external power brick and adjustable stand.

The Alienware 15 laptop, marketed as the first affordable Alienware notebook, swaps a metal chassis for a plastic one to reduce cost while retaining the brand’s distinctive aesthetics. It sports a 15.3‑inch 16:10 WUXGA display with a 165 Hz refresh rate, weighs about 2.25 kg, and includes subtle backlighting and the iconic Alienware logo. Reviewers note that, despite the cheaper build, the machine feels lightweight and maintains the “Alienware DNA” that gamers expect.
