Why do all you guys hate alienware SO MUCH?

[brokencross]

What really pisses me off is that they gpu vram stacks in SLI/CF

Now I understand why you made this thread.

 

 

They're like macs without the looks

What you said makes literally no sense whatsoever.

[Overkilled]

vram doesnt stack in either of those if thats what you mean.

I know but they say it does

Come DX12, maybe... but not in the way you think anyway. As of now, vram doesn't stack at all.

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

That's to ensure it's future proof, but of course the price is still not justified. 

[Anarchyz11]

They literally overcharge by hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars.

 

Plus they prey on the uninformed.  When listing specs they combine VRAM in SLI situations, which is not how VRAM works in practice.  Not technically lying, but anyone worth their salt knows what's going on there. 

 

People who don't build their own computers and are uninformed think it takes $2,000 to make a decent gaming PC, so they pay it.

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 crappy components for it to be a "gaming" computer

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

WOW! Now I really wanna buy one.

[Unlikelyjoker]

Heck, really?

Got a link?

Just saying its overpriced. Laptops are fine though

No they CLEARLY state that vram stacks like for example 970 2 way sli 8gb (4+4) that's what they says

[GuruMeditationError]

Most builds are hugely overbuilt anyway and don't need half the stuff sunken into them. When you then go and inflate the price it just makes it completely ludicrous.

[HenryBasil]

The only person I know who uses an alienware, has ear piercings and dyed hair, and just uses it to watch someone play horror games.

 

[HmmR]

ok guys chill everyone gets it alienwear is over priced 

 

but not their laptops

 

they make one of the best laptops and one of the worst desktops

[Prastupok]

In Vram... you have 4+4 = 8gb physical, 4gb effective. They didn't technically lie.

[juretrn]

You do realise you are asking this on a website dedicated mostly to building custom PCs?

 

Also, their desktop options are way too expensive for what they are, not to mention completely unreasonable. I believe the cheapest version of their triangle-shaped PC (Area 51? can't remember.) is 1700 $ and includes a X99 platform, for some weird reason - combined with a R9 270????

... Why does everything have a "technically"

[Geekazoid]

racist

No, it's true. Go an have a look for yourself. JK

[brokencross]

LOL

A laptop that weighs 10kg, it's huge and thick and riced like a christmas tree? Adding to that, being overpriced as fuck?

Get some glasses.

[Aniallation]

bugatti is owned by Volkswagen

In that logic, Infiniti is the higher-cost version of Nissan

Then why did you even ask why we don't care for them?

Good grammar there!

[givingtnt]
