alienware
A VERY highly overrated brand of gaming
CPU. They're overpriced, and their
tech support is non-existent. The company lies to each and every single one of their customers (and non-customers) by falsly advertizing that they will fix any problems that happen under their
warranty. NEVER buy anything from this company run by ignorant assholes.

Miami-based company that manufactures very high-end (though usually coming in a few grand below
Falcon Northwest, the absolute leader in bleeding-edge hardware gaming PCs). Are instantly distinguishable by their distinctive cases (used to be tall towers, but are now
sleeker and sport "alien eyes" at the bottom, because countless boutique shops have imitated the original
Alienware look) and high costs. Owners argue that the convenience of knowing everything is perfectly compatible, and award-winning customer service are worth the price.
Example:
Fan: Dude, Steve just got a new
Alienware.
Person: He could've bought the same
configuration for half that price.
Fan: Yeah, but he's also getting 24/7
customer service and they put it together for him.
Person: That hardly sounds worth it.
Fan: We differ in opinion -- the logical solution is to have fight to determine who's right.

The absolutely worse computer company in the world. They lie straight to your face and they know it. Their warrenty is bullshit and they have no knowledge of computers whatsoever. Everytime I call
tech support I ask them the same questions and they give me different answers everytime. You can never get a hold of the supervisor. The company is made for idiots who buy computers and they know it. Once they get on the phone with a guy who has a dose of knowledge they basically
fuck you too you and do not help you. The
final answer from them for all my 3 hour+ phone calls is "we will get back to you in 24 hours" which basically translates to "fuck you."
I do not even care about the price because it is not bad at all. Its the fact that they have 12 year old "technicians" who sell this bullshit. They lie to you. No matter what you will be
on hold for an 2 hours. They are fucking morons.
Example:
Do not buy from
Alienware ever, even though the price is decent for the specs, the absolute bullshit you go through with them is simply not worth it. It even took me twice as long to recieve my PC than it said on the website. I hate this company with a passion.
If you want expensive 1337 computers go to www.
ibuypower.com
Simply put do not buy from Alienware. Save yourself from high blood pressure and turning into a
raging ape and buy from anyone else, except for gateway because they suck too.

ALIENWARE A CRIMINAL COMPANY
I purchased an
Alienware area 51-M 766 Laptop on 05/12/2004 and I paid three thousand dollars for it. It was advertised as a laptop with an upgradeable video
card and it was considered to be the top of the line gaming
notebook and had with some fantastic reviews winning numerous awards and gained a great deal of recognition from industry professionals and technology experts. The laptop should last many years and the main idea is the video card could be changed or upgraded. I thought I bought the best notebook on the market, but I was sadly mistaken. After a year and half, I called Alienware so I could purchase a new upgraded video card, and I was told that Alienware stop supporting
my laptop and my video card. I was also told that I have to purchase a video card from a third party called “Uniwill” if I wanted an upgrade. So I called the third party company but no one picked up the phone and I left several messages and they never called me back. I was very surprised that I was unable to get an upgradeable video card. I was also very disappointed to find that
so soon I was unable to get what was so strongly advertised and promised. If this isn’t
false advertising and false promises made to customers then I don’t know what else is but afterwards I gave up calling and continue to use
the notebook. I never thought I would have trouble with it but on
November 23, 2007 the video card completely
burned out. I contacted Alienware shortly afterwards to ask them if I could purchase any type of video card that would simply just work (forget about gaming or upgrading) so I could at least use the notebook. Unfortunately Alienware stop supporting and making any type of video card for my laptop, and I was told to call “Uniwill” once again to purchase a video card and once again I called, left messages and I never received a return call. I wonder if Uniwill is a prefabricated company created and owned by Alienware to prevent
lawsuits. I also researched the Internet; eBay and tried to see if someone out there had anything I could possibly use, but all I found was a very long line of Blogs, many hate websites with a massive amount of posted threads of complaints of many unsatisfied and unhappy Alienware customers who where ripped off and lied to by a company filled with false advertisements, promises, and
deceit. I purchased a three thousand dollar Alienware
paperweight, and now I've joined a long line of unsatisfied customers.

The ultimate Gaming machine and the ultimate nerd accessory. People buy it because it is a status symbol to have one, and it gives
yopu bragging rights over all other people who don't have
Alienware's. Even if a guy with a Dell has better hardware than a guy with an
Alienware, the Alienware is still better
