I don't recommend anyone to buy that machine....please just take the time to build your own rig its cheaper plus could add way better hardware for the price of that Alienware garbage.

FlameBaitGod5080d ago

Their cheaper than apple for what they offer + you probably never have even bought one of their products, I have. Yeah, you can build the same computer for much less but to say they are garbage you are way off.

Ravenor5080d ago

OMG dude, really? It's almost 2 grand and it's rocking a 6870 and no SSD, no mention of the motherboard manufacturer or anything else for that matter.

We can build the same computer and at the same time be assured that we buy the highest quality items for our PC, while at the same time saving money. It doesn't matter if you purchased 1 or 1000 Alienware PC's, it's not good value.

FlameBaitGod5080d ago (Edited 5080d ago )

Did you not read what I said or are you retarded ?

"Yeah, you can build the same computer for much less"

When did I say its a good value ?

If you bought alienware products you would know their parts are from quality brands cus they haven't failed me(I only buy their laptops, I build my own desktop rigs)

Ravenor5080d ago

So, you're talking about the build quality of Laptops...when this is a poorly configured Desktop. We are discussing the value of this product being advertised here. You come prancing in proclaiming that Alienware products are well built using high quality parts...then admit to only owning a LAPTOP.

Your Laptop doesn't mean anything in this discussion, for all intents and purposes when discussing laptops you're perfectly in the clear to buy a Alienware laptop.

This desktop is shit, buying OEM "Boutique" desktops from companies that have been bought up and are no longer independent is incredibly STUPID. I will also ask you once, don't insult my intelligence when you can't tell the difference between a discussion about the value of a Desktop and a Laptop.

Alienware is pretty awesome.

I have had one for 2 yrs now and they only started failing me like 2 months ago. 24 hrs replacement of all parts. Not really failing, just some lights and for that I got a whole bunch of replacements. :D

Got free upgrades :D

Their service easily covers all you spend on it.

I had my MB changed for free to the new version.

My graphics card got 1 paid upgrade last year for 50 quid and this year a free upgrade to gtx 460m. win win

went from 4gb to 8 gb ram for 23 quid.

Till date theyve changed my laptop's:

speakers, lights panel,motherboard, ram, graphics card-all for free that too within a span of 1 week.

Their service and priority to alienware customers is impressive. I now have 2 yrs warranty left so I know im safe for a long time and if there are new parts I can upgrade for really cheap for the refurbished version ones and dont really have to buy them for full price.

The truth about it tho is that it is still fairly more expensive than custom built comps. Only difference and the big difference is I never have to worry about my comp getting screwed up, coz I know its gonna be shiny and new in 24 hrs. While custom parts have warranty for separate parts and have to deal with each part separatley. For AW its one free email and thats all. They'll call you and arrange a date and everythings sorted.

I had a custom comp 2 yrs ago and I went through hell on the 2nd and 3 rd yr of that machines life so I know.
Now that Im working professional as a video editor I find it safer to have a good service sort me out without my work getting compromised.

-MD-5081d ago

LOL that price is insane for those specs. You could build that computer yourself for half the price.

Smashbro295080d ago

I am in the process of building a vastly superior computer. Only difference is no alien logo. Oh and it was way cheaper.

dirthurts5080d ago

Alienware lost any cred it had when Dell bought them out...
Now they are just overpriced, and underpowered.
But I guess if you want a fancy chasis with a neat logo, this is your rig...
I'll build my own like a big boy.

FlameBaitGod5080d ago (Edited 5080d ago )

They might of been bought by dell but they haven't changed their quality. I love people in here talking so much and they don't even own their products. You know you can built a comp with the same specs as another one but one does have better manufacturer parts. There's dozens of brands out there that make computer parts.

You said underpowered ?
Have you actually compared their desktops and laptops vs other brands ?

Care to give out some examples since you know.

Smashbro295080d ago

No its just for that price a little research and asking around on places like eggxpert I can build a much higher quality PC for much cheaper and I can easily swap out parts to stay up to date.

dirthurts5080d ago

Just a little FYI, I'm a computer technician ( I build and repair computers). I know the alienware quality very well.
They're decent computers, but no where near worth their cost. They tend to use cheaper components, not the best stuff.
A custom build can be built from Sapphire, ASUS and HIS components(the good stuff).
With Alienware, you get a mixed bag meant to cut cost and save Dell money.

MetalNCarnet5080d ago

Just build your own rig people. It's not as hard as it looks.

sak5005080d ago

I have been building PCs since 97 but they are still tricky, especially when putting everything in the case. It's not work for average joe but experienced gamers should not have a problem assembling one. Since this PC is targeted at gamers, they would know that it's not a good deal.

It’s far from a Switch killer. People will always buy Nintendo based on brand loyalty and for their amazing exclusives.

indysurfn2250d ago

I agree!
"super premium" is not tech specs. They have no exclusive games they are going to have to at least have SUPER TECH! And they will still not touch SWITCH.

CaptainHenry9162250d ago

I feel that way with Nintendo and Sony

Kribwalker2250d ago

except when they get that switch emulator running on it. Then that thing could be wicked

spicelicka2250d ago

It would make it better than the Switch, but people still wouldn't buy it as much as the switch simply because of brand power and convenience.

2pacalypsenow2250d ago (Edited 2250d ago )

Exclusives which you can play on PC with an emulator. Js

Shiken2250d ago

One, you still have to buy the game to play it legally on an emulator...and you have to rip the game yourself.

Two, there is no Switch emulator at this point in time...JS

King_Noctis2250d ago

And you think this little thing have enough juice to fully emulate a Switch game?

Maybe you should wake up.

2pacalypsenow2250d ago

I don’t know it’s not out yet.

King_Noctis2250d ago (Edited 2250d ago )

“ I don’t know it’s not out yet.”

Why do you need to wait until it is out in order to realize that if a big desktop-sized PC struggle to emulate the Switch, then how can a tablet-sized PC like this one able to achieve that?

CosmicTurtle2249d ago

There is a Switch emulator called Yuzu.

Shiken2249d ago

@comic

Yuzu is experimental and most games either will not boot, or they run like garbage. Why even bother naming it when it runs would run worse than supporting the devs for their hard work?

Sounds like you are just looking for ways to claim you do not need a Switch to play major Switch games...but a quick google search will just out you quicker than you can type a response.

2pacalypsenow2249d ago

@Shiken

Actually majority of the switch’s mayor games are playable on the Wii U.

Shiken2246d ago (Edited 2246d ago )

@2pacalypsenow

That is false. I assure you that games like Mario Odyssey, Link's Awakening remake, Luigi's Mansion 3, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Astral Chain, Pokemon Sw/Sh, Smash Ultimate, BotW2 (coming soon), Splatoon 2, Xenonlade 2, Xenoblade Torna, etc etc etc are not playable on WiiU.

Just because the WiiU has lost its value to most of their under appreciated games getting a second chance on Switch, that does not mean that Switch is not still pumping out its own exclusives at an even greater number as well.

But like I said...downplay...and we all know you do a lot of it lol.

bujasem_892250d ago

Dare I say... Emulation? If I own it, why can't I play it in any form I like?

Shiken2246d ago

Because there is no reliable Switch emulator at this time.

m2stech2250d ago

How about Yuzu switch emulator installed on it?

aarogree2250d ago

Calling it a Switch rival would be more accurate.

2250d ago
isarai2250d ago

"Switch Killer" lol

People buy the switch for Nintendo's exclusives, so unless they can suddenly hault Nintendo from making games it's really not even gonna affect the Switch in the least. That said the product does look dope an i'd love to get one for emulation aswell as PC games.

Bhuahahaha2250d ago

lol when someone says its a "(insert game/device) killer" it will always end in failure

Vits2250d ago

That is what I call a sensationalist title.

The UFO is not even a real product, let alone a Switch killer.... It's just a concept, one of many that Dell has brought to the CES 2020. It might eventually go into production if they find a market for it. But as many other concepts it might as well just stay a concept.
