I'm surprised people still waste their time buying Alienware. For 1 Alienware computer, you can build 3 for the same price.
Marketing? $500+ just to get the brand name Alienware on your computer? K.
Most don't have the time or knowledge? It takes about 20-30 minutes to go on youtube and figure out how to build any system they want. I didn't know shit about computers a few months ago, I started talking to a few people about it, watched youtube videos about builds, etc., and now I feel like I know everything there is to know.
Even if someone doesn't feel safe building their own, there is always things like iBuyPower or CyberPower that will put together a computer for you the way you want and ship it to you for way cheaper than Alienware. Even if THAT isn't enough, they have pre-made PCs on their website that are STILL cheaper than any Alienware.
Simple as this - Alienware is total shit, never buy from them. Oh, and did you notice on that "Random" link you posted, the #1 Asus was cheaper than the #2 Alienware? Just an example.
Either way, I'm done talking about it, if you want to be stupid and buy Alienware, be my guest and waste an extra $1000.
Kris: Yeah, sorry. I posted in the in-activity thread. Is everything fixed now btw?
Would you mind citing and giving reasons for this?
If you're used to a Windows computer, of course Macs are going to seem inferior, because you don't know how the same things are done. This works in vice versa.
