Alienware Gaming PCs

Are alienware PCs really as good as we think ?

[mantylt]

Nobody thinks they are good.

Who the hell thinks they are good? They dont perform bad, but they are overpriced...

[Cela1]

Who said they are good? Nobody here I hope.

I had an Alienware 17 R1. It was a piece of shit, the motherboard died 4 times while it was under the 1 year warranty.

The laptops are good buys. Anyone who says otherwise probably hasn't used one or was one of the ones that were the ultra minority who somehow have bad luck.

I've been using an Alienware M17x R3 for years and I've loved it the entire time. Never had any issues and added in a SSD a while back to help speed it up. The primary issue is that other than memory and storage, it's not upgradeable. My laptop is showing it's age by low frame rates in newer games. If you invest the same amount of money into a desktop (Alienware or otherwise), you can have a decent machine that allows upgrades in the future. So it's a choice you have to make: portability vs. longetivity.

pre-build in general are terrible, bare minimum power supply, with a very mid range GPU and a top of the line CPU, and no ssd. you'll often see full size towers with a tiny micro-atx motherboard and the absence of cable management.

Sure alienware PCs are overpriced . They spend all Their budget on a quality CPU and say litle or nothing about the powersupply and Mobo . They could get a 1000 bucks i7 CPU but acompany it wit a 300 bucks GPU !!!!! It sounds absurd
