They are the Macs of PC I guess you could say. Overpriced and just look fancy. Don't get me wrong, they have power. But you could build more power for cheaper. I love the look of them so I just bought a tower of an alienware computer.

No doubt they are good computers (if you know what you're looking for) but in most circumstances, they are very overpriced.

You could probably make your own computer with the same specs as an Alienware for half the cost or even less.

If you have money to burn and want a quality computer, go with Alienware. If you're on a budget, I'd recommend building your own or find a cheaper producer of pre-made computers.

they hate on them because they deserve to be hated one.


Terribly overly expensive, ugly case some flashy lights and you can build the same for a third of the price.

You go buy one, have fun wasting money on crap.

Pretty much like everyone has said above. Just an overall over priced computer and you can make a much better one for much cheaper

Alienware is owned by Dell which rips you off on everything, so that's just a start. If you need any replacements for it (besides like a ram upgrade) you have to buy the Dell one or it will likely burn out your MoBo. Alienware is also a generic overpriced gaming system with cool lights but thats about it, if you want a good PC then build your own. The only thing good about Alienware are their laptops, not bad for a gaming laptop.
