Alienware in Windows 10 Event

[LargeBanana]

is alienware "that" powerful that Windows/Microsoft choose to use it in one of their biggest event?

 

[soaringchicken]

No, it's obviously product placement

[sirtoby]

No, they just paid the most money

I assume alienware provided the PCs for microsoft so they get free advertising

[LargeBanana]

so it's mostly just for advertising or things that doesn't concern raw horse power?

i've once read in a forum that getting that kind of part would be as expensive as alienware get plus a few dollars, is that a mislead?

I have no idea what you're asking, but alienware is overpriced in general.

Alienware has the same components as anyone else, they might customise PCBs from time to time to fit a certain form factor but not for added performance, they make powerful machines but you pay a premium for their time in both design and assembly. These days its just Dells gamer focused branding.

what? that question makes no sense

 

Are you asking if alienware are overpriced? if so, yes just like most prebuilts

 

basically, microsoft get a free computer to use for demonstration, alienware get prominent advertising during a major event

[StingBull]

Because you need power to run Windows?

[ShadowCaptain]

Because you need power to run Windows?

 

Technically yes  

 

Try running it on a 3mhz processor

 

and power = electricity

At work we use Alienware systems, because they are they are actually solid systems, quite compared to other brands, don't throttle, they offer high specs, and the warranty is excellent. It is the only company (well Dell) that can send you a tech on site, your your place or business to come and fix the system in front of you, the next business day so that you always have a running laptop, if anything bad happens.

I don't know anyone at the office that isn't pleased with their alienware laptop.

(our desktop are custom build, as we swamp hardware many times)

What many fail to see as well, is that you can negotiate the price with Dell.

You can't with others, as you don't deal with the manufacture directly.

To be honest, many only read the bad reviews & often forgotten about those who have great experiences with them. Usually the ones who are pessimist on Dell is either they received a faulty component from the start & those who didn't manage to own it or even try it themselves complain about something they didn't experience before. IRONIC. 

In my experience (speaking as an investor), if they didn't manage to fix your problem, don't just send them emails, just give them a call & have all your issues address & your case will be done in no time. Company as huge as Dell clearly have too much issues to handle at that scale, so nothing beats the few minutes call compared to email to email replies.
