how much does alienware go for? (cost)

[waccoon]

you need to get alienware and a good videocard. it's true that the aliens preform better and faster than normal desktops and notebooks. personally, i like the sentia extreme. beware, these are very expensive. the cheapest desktop system is the area-51 preformance for one thousand, five hundred and seventy seven dollars. the aurora is slightly more expensive, one thousand, five hundred and eighty dollars for the preformance model. i suggest a light notebook if you're planning on buying one.

what is it?¿?¿?¿?

[Just_Dream]

Well the desktops are obviously cheaper than the laptops. The probably the alienware desktop that has EVERYTHING great on it is about what.. 3000? just think what an ultimate alienware laptop would cost! Dunno how ppl save up for those lol, especially young ppl. lol

[*krnxswat*]

I've always wanted an alienware, but it's too expensive. I'd rather build my own better computer with less money

[*Podomaht*]

3k+ ive considered buying an alienware ( its awsome, really ) but, instead, im gonna save up to 4k, and custom build my computer.

--edit-- im gonna save up, untill a card thats better than the ati-radeon 9800.

Haha that much? All you need is about 1.5k or less.

You know, they just say its the #1 Gaming Computer, but if u think about it, doesnt other companies? they just saying it for advertisement u know, but Alienware computers are good but expensive, i say u just save up and custom build your comp, custom built ones are the best.

actually, alienware supports custom building computers, don't they? You can pick what parts you WANT and then they build it foryou, unless you really want to spend MORE time building it. Alienware supplies very high-quality, top-brand computer parts. *drools*

[mystical]

Alienware just jacks up prices of something you can build yourself for REALLLYY cheaper. BUt the support and replacement service is great.

[justin_park85]

don't have one.............sounds boring

[immersion31]

dang, that much for a comp. lol, i jus build my comp wit used parts at my dads work place

[stryker76]

The Alienware Area 51 was clocked faster then the New G5's from Mac.....yeah they cost a lil bight but they ae great comps.....my school has a few for security systems and networking

[stryker76]

Although it sux that they us them for that...i would love to have one for my gaming

[*Podomaht*]

Haha that much? All you need is about 1.5k or less.

oh come on, i need at least 700gb, for mass storage. and, at least a 19" moniter.

[immersion31]

well, even though alienware is really good, i wouldnt spend that much. i'd rather build a pc wit parts form my dads workplace

[*krnxswat*]

oh come on, i need at least 700gb, for mass storage. and, at least a 19" moniter.

Whhhhaaaaatttt.

You so don't need 700gb.

[immersion31]

yea, u really dont need that much

[wayne]

yeah alienwre's are kool, but I'd rather get the pc instead of the laptop, you can cutomize the desktops more, plus you can get those kool cases with neon lights and everything. The laptop is kool, but I'd just get a gateway or dell laptop. I dont gamer on laptops anyway, I just use photoshop and 3dstudio max on them. Desktops are better for gaming.

[pdpHOVA]

alienware computers look pretty nice too...

[*kryogenix*]

build your own computer, it's a lot cheaper

[stryker76]

You should see the server size for the Computer Forensic wing at RIT....2terabytes.....that 2000gigs........ that is like DAMN

[immersion31]

build your own computer, it's a lot cheaper

yea, it is

[AlwayzADreamur]

yeah they have the best prossecors and video cards that normal comps. cant handle. very fast in games like War Craft 3 and games where it runs slow on some comps. too bad alien ware is hella money.

[SkYlIneZx4xLiF]

Hell amoney, but if ur a CS addict is the BOMB.........ur latency goes down to 21, or 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jaeman]

Alienware is cool. I have never owned one yet I probably never will. But I always wanted one.

[*Podomaht*]

Whhhhaaaaatttt.

You so don't need 700gb.

im already sharing 200 now... :]

[SkYlIneZx4xLiF]

DAMN....im only using 80..mainly games and music........

[*kryogenix*]

well, if i had 500 gb, i'd start collecting SNES, Genesis, GBA and arcade.

[wayne]

crap if i had 500gb, i'd try to take over the world from my pc...

[immersion31]

haha, funny balla

[PinkCheer]

My brother has an alienware laptop and from what I can tell its awesome for gaming. Not that I'm ever allowed to touch it or anything

AlienWare

Pros:
1. Very compatible system (all the cards and components work very well together)
2. Extremely cool cases
3. Good for Gamers or people perfering good graphics, mobile or lag-less internet, and portable

Cons:
1. Prices .. OVER THE ROOF!
2. Customer Service -- not that good


My Suggestion:: Get someone you know to build you one.
Reason :: A self built computer, with the same or even better components will cost 25%~50% less than an alienware

Really depends on your needs, and your budget

STFU Noob!

ha ha jk

yeah you're pretty much right about everything. however i think the customer service is good. they have a warranty, what do they call it, alien autopsy or something like that?

[SkYlIneZx4xLiF]

if u know a lot bout comps u can build a comp that is even better than the alienware, and it will cost a lot less............

[immersion31]

true dat, my dad job is to build comps and sell them, he gives it to me for free
