Thanks God I got myself a Sony Vaio

lies they rockkkkkkk DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

now i'm not really sure
When I was choosing a laptop my friend discouraged me from buying Alienware cuz he had enormous problems with it, at first I didnt believe but now the picture is getting clearer.

Besides bc it produces constant noise, it is automatically not for me. I need a quite environmnet to work on my tunes.

Horror stories like that happen to every brand. I worked at a place for a few months (internship) where they sell mainly HP/Compaq. You won't believe everything i saw there. We didn't only have problems with their regular customer support, but also with their business and server support (those are totally separated from customer support).

For example: a brand new topline 19inch rack server that need to be delivered to a client the next day was DOA. So we called HP and they promised to deliver a new one before the end of the day. The end of the day HP comes like promised... another DOA!! They didn't even test that one before they brought it to us.

Same kind of thing happened with a DOA 17inch monitor... first time they brought the wrong model, then another DOA, then another wrong model. Then we called and told them to double check the model AND test it before the shipped it and it finally went right .

We had a HP repair guy onsite asking us how to enter the BIOS of some server .

etc., etc. Same kind of stories happened with the much less IBMs, Sonys and brandless systems we sold there.

But that doesn't mean I won't buy HP anymore, this type of things happen to every brand. You're just unlucky when you're one of those that have such problems. Around 97% are still happy users.


But i won't buy an alienware laptop anyway, they are desktop replacements, not laptops you easily take with you. Just buy a nice desktop that you can upgrade after a while.

if they were that bad they wouldnt have as much reputation as they have now. you cant just start a company with heapz of rep, you have to earn it.

To be honest, there isnt anything so good that sets Alienware appart from any other company. All they do is manufacture cases and put stuff in them, apart from that they arent any different from dell.

And these horror storys are out for every company. (Ive seen several on these forums).

Just configure your own computer..

I did, and im happy.


Of course if you are talking about a laptop.. thats a different story.

If you really want something cool, get a Liebermann: http://www.go-l.com/home/index.htm

Especially their displays .

OMG.. the cases!



Thats the most beautiful case iv ever seen apart from modded ones.

i lke the idea that alienware configure everything, install the basics and use alienwiring to increase the airflow within the case: very neat and tidy. Although, i still wouldnt buy one (im building my own )
