I mean there systems are pretty decent and they don't look that bad, I know they're OWNED by a shitty company but they probably have a special alienware division, bugatti is owned by Volkswagen

heavily marked up and very unbalanced. and some are just gaudy.

lying about perf

and not listing full details like "gtx gaming graphics card"

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

We hate the price of the desktops... it's beyond ridiculous markup.

The laptops on the other hand are excellent.

 

Edit: Volkswagons are already excellent cars... that's the difference.

The projects never end in my line of work.

4000$ for a pc thats worth 1500$ with a nice looking case is not good business.

Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.

One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM.

 I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life

Del is a pretty decent company, but they're overpriced.

They aren't really bad systems, but they're overpriced and pretty unbalanced (like an i7 with a 750Ti)

You probably mix up hate for "buying from them is not a good idea"

Because they overprice their systems, most guys on here are not the intended audience of alienware products, as a majority I feel build their own PC's.

1) overpriced

2) scamming by not listing the full component names

3) using false advertising

4) trying to get as much margin as possible on the builds

5) really shitty components for it to be a "gaming" computer

6) using colourful LED lights to attract young kids who don't know any better

Volkswagen isn't shitty.

 

Alienware on the other hand is just overpriced crap for idiots.

Theres just so much else out there that is better price/performance/quality that it's hard to justify.

 

Although, if you are buying a laptop for gaming.... you are already getting the short end of the stick.

Well my dad got a fairly new vw phaeton, damn he must have replaced every part in the car by now. The doors rusted, general erosion everywhere.
