Just like Dell's, you can upgrade them, but you gotta pay THEM for the overpriced parts to fit in their crappy proprietary cases., Dell owns Alienware also.

Would have to agree. They aren't that much more then competing gaming pc brands and they do a great job on the laptops in some sections that other brands don't do a good job like cooling and the screen.

How about i refer you to a few more things in your house, how about your car which you paid 4x the amount but had you built it yourself then you would be saving money, You have bread right, well if you grew that yourself then you would save money, coke costs around 3p for them 2 litre bottles, its sold for over £1. The world works around the tertiary market these days, in the simplest form that means doing a service for someone, had you done it yourself then you are likely to save money.

Virtually all computer stores have pre-assembled systems and will also assemble ones from parts you pick for less then $100 more. Alienware is like Apple, you are paying a stupid amount of extra money for a LOGO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alienware is like Apple, you are paying a stupid amount of extra money for a LOGO. Its like getting a blu ray versus a dvd, sure the specs are the same but the support and cloud features that dell provides are amazing, this very pc which used to be a dell, technically it still is, the first one we got was damaged badly in shipping, it was like a crowbar went straight through it(oddly i built a pc before i got this dell and as you could imagine i was quite pissed at my parents for wasting money). see its a waste for me, the gamer but for a home or business user dell provides stuff we cant cant compare to, their rma system is the best in the world by friggin far. Computer stores are cheaper to stay competitive, its like a better college will make you pay more but they are likely to offer more services. I back dell up because they were a role model to me when i had my business(education meant it had to stop), im not sure about the us but i think dell had very reasonable prices, the xps systems are decent, the insprion systems are so cheap that i couldnt make a system of the same spec for the price unless i get a fake windows on and there are labour fees if i make one. cpu: intel i5 4670k @ 4.5ghz Ram: G skill ares 2x4gb 2166mhz cl10 Gpu: GTX 680 liquid cooled cpu cooler: Raijintek ereboss Mobo: gigabyte z87x ud5h psu: cm gx650 bronze Case: Zalman Z9 plus Listen if you care.

Given all the negative things you have to say, it's obvious that they're going to go out of business soon, yes? Except, no. People have been saying all sorts of negative things about the Alienware brand for years. It's still here because there is a market for it, and it makes money.

Because there is no shortage of suckers and Dell's main business clients are government agencies mainly who don't give a hoot about how much things are costing because it ain't their money. Dell got smacked with several million dollars in lost contracts years ago http://www.technewsworld.com/story/32248.html Nigerian 411 scams have been going strong for 40+ years.

Posted March 31, 2014 Lets get things clear here, Dell is still Dell and Alienware is Alienware no doubt Dell has bought over them. In terms of Services and build, they are completely different department so please dont EVER mix them up together.So far as I know Alienware highest end Laptop is the Alienware 18 which consist dual graphic Cards (Tell me which laptop in the market has 2 graphic card slots besides the 18) and It's sheer bulkiness is for better air ventilation which most laptop couldn't even propel heat properly. I'm not even trying to exaggerate or neither am I siding on any brands. To me, only FACTS are important. Alienware's market purely focuses on gamers laptop than a desktop. And we have yet to discover greater potentials in Alienware judging by their direction. Guys, the point here is this. Gaming laptopsAnything with highest resolution possible and FPS, Alienware.High/medium Resolution, MSI, AsusI'm not too sure with the rest of the brands, I am certain of the ones I've mentioned above worth what you get from consumer' point of view. As for Mac itself, which by fact is slower than Microsoft. It's harsh but it's true. As for Desktop, I would say building your own. If you want a beastly performances beyond this world, again build your own. Best start with Corsair 900D Full Tower Case or you wanna be more ambitious, Gaming "Desk" top where all your expensive gear have it's glorious moment of truth displayed.
