Well, I know at least i the interface, Lol

After other's post heir opinions, I will post mine

If anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about Alien Ware is a high grade gaming computers that are supposidly super fast and are great for running games such as WoW or Guild Wars

Not worth the money imo, you most likely could build your own with almost the same specs for cheaper.

+1
I think the same, but i'll wait o tell my hole opinion.

My opinion is that they are a waste of money, which do no more than lower priced computers. While it isn't strictly true, I would refer to them a 'Glorified Dells'.

Well here's my opinion

Goods
-
Amazing Graphics, runs wow and gw in peace
Good for high end games

Bad
-
CRASHES WHEN YOU OPEN WORD..WTF?
Cant run runescape very well
Everyday programs dont run well sometimes

Better specs for less money.

I have one and here is my opinion:

-Pros
SuperFast
Not very Faulty
Runs Beautifully
Graphics Amazing
(..and every other compliment you can give it..)

-Cons
PRICE
Noise is a Whisper but is pretty loud(Dampener fixes this)

Your saying they give great performance, but computers which cost less, can give better performance.

As for them running WOW and Guild Wards well, that isn't because of Alienware. It is because of the components in the system, which could be gotten for much cheaper if you don't buy a Alienware computer.

Running Crysis at high settings 4xAA is amazing graphics, not Guild Wars or WOW.

IMO they are good for people who want a high end system, have lots of cash, and don't want to/don't have time to build a PC themselves. The price of these is amazingly high, and since Dell bought them not too long ago, Stobbo is right in calling them 'Glorified Dells'.

In short--you could get much better off with building your own. Nothing else to really say... though I used to like their laptops.

Best place for desktops--Build your own
Best place for servers--HP has some pretty good basic systems for low prices, or you could build your own (depends on what for and how much support you want... if it's a print server or a closed-network file server, build your own. If you want a web server, buy a HP server)
Best place for laptops--no-name vendors who can stick in the components of a laptop costing $200+ more without breaking a sweat (ZT, Everex, &c)

Are you trolling?

I think everyone knows Alien Ware just wants your money. It's probably the worst machines to buy, ever.


I got lucky. I bought an HP laptop and it's never failed me in any way. It's always given me top performance.

I said it's the best place for laptops... not the only place for them. Basically I do my things on a budget... since I know how to service computers, the extra service I get by Dell/Alienware, HP/Compaq/VooDoo, Gateway/Acer/eMachines/Packard Bell, or any other "major" or boutique vendor is not worth it.

My point was, HP laptops usually crash/fail

Amen
My school laptop is cursed, it never works.

I heard these Alien Ware computer/laptops are also a huge scam, they're all made by Dell but re-cased.
But I could be wrong.

They buy their parts from nVidia/ATI (or whatever company provides for them) and they slap a sticker on the side of the part. I ripped the sticker off my old video card, and it said "ATI" under it. So you're basically paying 200$ for a sticker.

I would usually say get a Mac because they always work you can have large space, a lot of ram, a sweet graphics card, and a beautiful design.

But, I would recommend for people on a budget and wanting a nice portable or desktop machine that has decent graphics and processing power; a dell latitude or XPS.

Oh, and Packard Bell is no longer a "major" computer company in the United States, only in United Kingdom. Packard Bell pulled out because of to much competition. My first computer was in fact a desktop Packard Bell.

Your posts no longer have any credibility. At all, and for ever.

I usually hate people like you. People like you serve no purpose it life, your so trivial. You have no bases to prove why my posts "no longer have any credibility. At all, and for ever".

And, I did not say you have to get a mac. I'm just making a suggestion.

If you ask me to choose between who is more credible, I'm sorry, but I choose Ubel. 1850 posts vs. 55 is a big difference.

Macs do not always work you can have large space, a lot of ram, a sweet graphics card, and a beautiful design

I won't explain each point. But you should do some research before you post.

Oh, and if I were you I'd watch what you say to others.

I says let thare be peace.
Guys lets not get into a flame war, Plz?

This isn't on macs eather, and I think he's just bringing up the old Mac vs PC fight.
And Ubel is Uber cause both have UB in them,

post count doesn't count towards intelligence or credibility in my opinion... but in any case i'd have to agree with ubel lol.

Anyway on topic;

Alienware build "high range computers" they assemble your computer from high end parts. It isn't much effort for the price markup. There are a lot better companies out their from what i've seen, which do the same for less... That is if you want to rule out custom building.

I think their owned by dell by the way, so its really just the high end market of dell, I'm personally not impressed

they work amazing with gaming, however you will find the specs are to low for the price really

Any make works well with gaming, if you buy a computer which will. The quality of gaming is not dependent on the make, it is dependent on the components - which are standard across the industry.

Not entirely true, there are some exceptions. For example the nForce 680i chipset used in the HP Blackbird 002 can run both SLI and Crossfire, that's not standard.

Yes of course, however my point still stands. A computer is not good at gaming because Alienware make it.

Agreed.

Best price/performance you can get is by assembling it yourself plus you can get the fuzzy feeling when it boots and posts for the first time.

Firstly I own both a mac and a pc. I have always been able to rely on Macs when my PC does not work because of programs constantly freezing or a virus. So you should think before you speak, Carbon-14, and you need to do some research.

Looks like you still need to do some research, at least if you're going to try to disprove him.




Carbon's point still stands.

I've had plenty of Macs freeze on me. It was running Mac OS X Tiger, if you want to know. With Core 2 Duo.

That dreaded rainbow spinning wheel is what everyone hates. If everyone hates them, you can reason that it appears often. Why does it appear often? Because it freezes.

A computer doesn't just work. There has to be a reason why someone's Windows PC is totally messed up. Is it because you were careless about your computer habits? Most likely, yes. I've never had a computer crash on me in 5 years. With Windows.

That's crazy...
I guess I missed what happened with michaelmuggler in the first place.

To the point, Alienwares have that trademark look that you can't get with any old homemade rig, but it is overpriced. Eversince Dell bought Alienware, its XPS and Alienwares have been a little canniballizing. I think the XPS' performance can match that of lower end Alienwares and it's quite a bit cheaper.

Please don't bump old topics.
