Matsi 35 Posted June 30, 2015 Alienware doesn't suck.... it's expensive because it's flashy..... I have both an AW laptop and a desktop and they are both wonderful... I use the laptop when I go places and the desktop is my TV steam machine :P 1 Ohstopyou reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could post the stronger parts for someone to build themselves. But Alienware activists would still say there's is better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But Alienware activists would still say there's is better. I didn't say that AW was the best or that nothing could be made better, I said that AW do not suck.... yes you pay more for the brand and the flashy, but they still build some pretty good premade computers that run games well. If you want something better, you would always need to custom build it for your purpose, but for a nice premade computer or if you're just too lazy, AW is decent. They are also one of the first people I seen make a nice premade steamOS machine Alienware Alpha And I think $700 for the best one they have so far is fair: 3ghz Quad core cpu a geforce video card with 2gb gddr5 8gb of 1600MHz ddr3 memory a 1tb hard drive That's about what you would pay for something similar custom building yourself.
