Alienware

[All Ts]

Personally Alienware disaster stories give me a fucking giggle beyond belief.

 

Anyone here use Alienware to date or in the past?

 

Any funny stories?

One of my friends had an alienware. It got so hot it literally burned the wooden table it was sat on.

This kinda shit is gold.

 

A few of my friends have also bought alienware in the past and ALL of them have either overheated, bricked, or were overpriced by $150-400.

overheated

True

bricked

Yup

or were overpriced by $150-400.

Definately

 

to sum it up, if you wanna get a good laptop for gaming, don't buy alienware.

I recommend my lenovo Y50-70. Plays most games at good framerates

All the ASUS laptops I've had or seen work well too.

 

They've come out with some really surprisingly good lightweight laptops that I'm looking at for college.

I threw a water balloon through an open window and broke my friend's alienware but it was on warranty so yay +2000$ in my pocket I didn't spend

I own an Alienware X51. Decent pc with a good processor and decent gpu. Alienwares are pretty stable, but really overpriced. I wouldn't recommend buying any gaming laptops since I hate laptops with a passion and they all end up overheating.

 

I can recommend a x51, but if I did not receive it as a gift, I wouldn't have gotten that kind of desktop.

 

I recommend building your own or ordering a build via Cyberpowerpc or ibuypower ( canada shipping is fucking cancer though)

Mfw he asked about funny Alienware stories and you gave a review on the x51 xd

We've had several Alienware laptops at work over the years.

 

1 - They are overpriced.

2 - Except for 1 of them they were all good reliable laptops.

3 - They are heavy as fuck. Don't buy them for portability ever.

4 - Now that they are owned by Dell their support has been far easier to deal with than ASUS or MSI have ever been.

 

I have mixed feelings about them. Personally I won't buy a laptop for gaming. I'll stick with desktops for gaming and keep my laptops slim, light, and for work/movies.

yeah i really don't get the point of gaming laptops. Do you really need to game where ever you go? Can you just take a break from the screen when you go out somewhere?
