Which is better for gaming?

The Alienware 15. Its RTX 4050 beats the Nimo's integrated Radeon 780M, and its 165Hz screen shows more frames. The Nimo is fine for light and older titles.

Which has more storage?

The Nimo, with a 2TB SSD against the Alienware's 512GB. That is four times the space for games and files.

Is the Alienware worth the extra money?

It is only about $20 more at $1,049.99 versus the Nimo's recent low of $1,029.99. You pay in storage and RAM but gain a dedicated GPU and a faster screen.

Which lasts longer on battery?

Neither is strong. The Nimo lists about 2 hours, and Alienware buyers complain of short battery life. Plan on keeping either plugged in.

Can I upgrade the memory later?

Yes on both. The Nimo supports up to 64GB and the Alienware up to 32GB.

Which is lighter to carry?

The Alienware 15 at 4.9 lb. Nimo does not list a weight, but a 15.6-inch laptop with a 2TB drive is unlikely to be lighter.
