    Can't really compare a 2nd hand laptop to any other on the market brand new unless you take price into consideration, also the fact it's the older m15x means it's quite out of date by today's standards of alienware.

    If possible could you specify in what means it could be compared? as in price compared to hardware or how long would an older laptop like this last me?

    It's not even the old m15x. Looks like a m5500 basically nowhere near todays standards in terms of power or capability.
