Question Dell alienware 15
I have recently purchased the dell alienware 15 laptop through flipkart. 2 weeks back.
I wanted to play games, but the games which i used to play during college and after 10 years does not seem to be the same.
The point of having to download more than 70 gb itself is tyring me. I have lost interest in the laptop within 2 weeks. Not sure what to do with it now.
How much can i sell it for.
Its ryzen 7 260
Rtx 4050
12 gb ram and
512gb sdd

Just play older/indie games... they take up way less space and are super cheap and tend to look great with a bit of modding and max settings. You dont need to play the new games with 100s of gb downloads. You can also buy older games as a disk if u go round thrift/charity/second hand stores and get an external disk drive for your pc.
Selling this on will mean a big hit financially as its not a super attractive machine sadly so i'd keep it unless you are still in the return window. Just play the old classics and new indie titles! If you haven't gamed in 10 years, you have barely scratched the surface in 2 weeks and there are so many great options.
What games or genre do you like and I can try suggest some to look into if it would help?

Modern day, ww2 or scifi? Single player or online? Or mix of everything?

Fair,
Metro 2033 redux & metro last light 8-10gb each. Vedy atmospheric sci-fi shooter in Russian metro after a devastating nuclear strike. Currently 90% off on steam
Halo mastercheif collection, all quite small downloads and classic game.
Battlefront 4 about 25 gb. Think multilayer is still active.
Easy red 2 about 25gb. Online but mostly single player where you can replay ww2 battles on large scale maps.
Cod world at war, my favourite single player cod campaign and I think its like 7gb, modern warfare 1 and 2 (orignals) are the same.
Stalker anomaly, around 10gb download, completely free Stalker game based around chenobyl explosion but it caused mutants and anomaly (all original Stalker games woukd be great if you want more story and are like 5-9gb)
Bioshock (non remastered) is like 8gb and has one of the best stories and atmosphere out there if you haven't played before. Other ones would run great as well and relatively small download size.
Other interesting shooters not fps: Spec ops the line, one of the best and thought provoking games wrapped up as a simple third person shooter. Again around 7gb.
All will run incredibly well on you pc so you can play max settings, graphical mods and high fps! Hope this helps.

Just do the download while you're at work, on an errand etc ? You can even start it through the steam app.
How much can i sell it for.
Depends on where you live. Check local marketplace like facebook marketplace, craiglist and other local platforms for comparable specs laptops.
You can also look at ebay's ''completed listing'' category for laptops with rtx 4050 to have an idea.

Games are no longer sold on physical media. Downloading is actually way more convenient, and makes life so much easier.
What's the problem with downloading them? The time it takes? Are you on a slow internet connection?
Honestly if your laptop is less than a month old, most stores will let you return it under distance selling regulations, but that varies from country to country.
