Then they're clearly not basing their scores on the actual computer parts involved, which Alienware does not manufactor nor own, but something more irrelevant like the design of their cases. Although, I do concede that this generation of young gamers are HIGHLY likely to see value in blue LEDs and alien-eye shapes on the front of their tower or behind the laptop screen, eager to shell out their parent's money for the very "best" computer... but the fact remains that since you can have all the same parts put into a custom gaming laptop that isn't Alienware, the only difference would be the look.
"Prettier" is not going to get you better frame rates. And to be honest, if there are "reviews" in a magazine about it being objectively better, then I am very dubious about that being good information, and more likely to believe it's a promotion.
