The Alienware 18 is Back!

[ShadowCaptain]

Who the fuck needs 4 Way 980Ti at work?

One of these is what 99% of the people need:

Heck I work as a salesman in a electronic store, officialy we aren't even allowed to use even our smartphone when not on break (#SmartWatchMasterRace)

 

Because I need something edit and render 300mbps video footage in premier, and to play games at friends houses, when travelling etc]

 

Some of us NEED portable performance, that we can use anywhere, without a desk

But a desktop is still more powerfull and bang for your buck.

 

Also why the heck do you need to render videos at  300Mb/s which is the maximum of Premiere Pro?

 

A 1080P Blu-ray has a bitrate of about 50Mb/s. YouTube compresses videos to 20Mb/s

ever thought of use outside the consumer market? in which @ShadowCaptain might be involved(considering the huge amount of time he spend on the photo zone and money on filming stuff)

But I cant use it in the field.. or a train.. on a plane.. take it abroad.. in the car... at work on the desk... etc - I have a desktop at home for that

 

I don't render at 300.. I use files that can be 200-300mbps as they are capture in prores HQ for colour grading in Premiere 

 

EDIT: just checked its about 230mbs the file I have been working on .. so yeah.. 

also.. can play Crysis 3 on the bus

What are you talking about? find me another laptop with an 18" display, HDMI in (amazing btw and super rare) Dual graphics cards, high end CPU, 3 Hard drive bays, - its slim pickings

Not ashamed at at all, pull out iPhone. not ashamed of that either, I am proud of the hard work I did to buy the equipment I need and desire

 

Why should I be ashamed? 99% of people I run into think its awesome, even at large gaming events. Normal people are like wow amazing

Only the short sighted would hate on something for being of a particular brand or not being suited to their needs, wants and tastes.

Because everyone hates on Alienware for the fact that is just stupid overpriced, except for one product which is the Alienware Alpha, which is still overpriced at 462.99$:http://www.amazon.com/Alienware-ASM100-1580-Console-i3-4130T-Processor/dp/B00MA7AMKY

 

There was a sale around when it was 330$ which would make it a good choice for people who want to switch from consoles to PC.

 

Alienware is still best know for it's prebuild desktops, why would anyone want to buy a crappy desktop with a 5820K and a R9 270 put together in a Chinese sweatshop, when you can pay 30-100$/€ assembly cost at your local hardwareshop where some guys put it together with passion&love and good cable management.

I wouldnt touch their desktops (except the cute alpha) 

 

I like their laoptops the Alienware 13 is a great value small light 13", the 15" is great and the 17 and 18" are monsters

"EVERYONE" sure thats why they sell tons of them haha because everyone hates them.. 

 

"EVERYONE" hates Apple too. thats why they are the richest company on the planet.....

 

thats just the short sighted people on the forum, I will continue to buy the stuff that I want

[Chicken]

Still better than a Macbook.

But seriously. I don't get why Alienware are still in business. They ARE worse than Apple.

...The Alienware Alpha is pretty neat, though.

Because they exist. And they're actually worth your money. The ones saying they're overpriced are usually idiots who don't factor in labor charges.

A few hunderd $ are "labor charges"

 

Let'st take a look at the Area 51. A fucking 5820K with a R9 270. How is that "worth your money".

[Syntaxvgm]

-snip-

The only reason I don't have an MXM gaming laptop anymore is cost of upgrading them. I instead carry my desktop when I need power. Much cheaper.

To bad there are people like me who can absolutely not go around carrying a 40+ lbs desktop. If it wasn't for having a bad back on top of it, I wouldn't be so keen to buying a gaming laptop for being on the road for doing things.

Yes. Labor charges + warranty + phone service. I did a breakdown of alien wares hardware vs custom built. You pay about 400 dollars for custom case tech support and labor charges. It's a fair deal.

you dont have to defend yourself against people who cant afford it. they are the ones probably stuck on a crappy dead end job and cant get a raise or mommy dont love them enough to buy them one. they bash people who owns stuff they can never afford.

Dells customer support is fucking top notch now as well had a laptop that was a month out of the warranty for it and the HDD in it died out of the blue. I called up Dell not realizing my warranty was no longer valid they sent me a brand new HDD even with it being out of warranty period for it.

You mean only idiots pay 400$ for that.

Warranty is the same as the warranty when purchasing parts. Phone service likely cost you 1$/minute.

 

Assembly costs are only 30€ including VAT and Arctic Silver 5 Premium Silver Compound which is 10€ if you purchase separably.

Beat that, LMAOware

Wow you are a diehard Alienware lover lmao, wonder what setup you got. I'm so jealous of all those Alienware kids with their R9 270's! Damn at that point even a PS4 is more powerfull at 350$.

I can stand by Alienware since my first laptop from them which was a M17x R1 with a Core 2 Duo P8600 and a GTX 260m and 9800m in Hybrid SLI is still running like new after all this time, I had a great experience with them.

Please, I would like to see you defend their Alienware Area 51 which has a 5820K and a freaking R9 270.

I would never try to defend their desktops. Someone with the mental capacity of someone who is 2 years old would understand that is absolutely stupid. My experience is only with their laptops which has always been good.

Other than that it has 8GB of DDR4. I don't even know that was possible pretty sure minimum X99 does is 4X4 GB of ram. A 2TB hdd with NO ssd  at 1799€

Yeah I don't know were they think its ok to do a system like that. But their laptops are very nice even for being priced higher then the competition at times, they still got a damn good customer support team which makes a big difference in my opinion of a company.

What laptop do you have with what specs and how much was it?

Right now my daily is a Toshiba Satellite Ultra book.

My still living Tank of a Alienware is a M17xR1 from 2009.

Which one would like the specs of?
