Alienware are one of the most well known brands when it
comes to high-end, high performance laptops. Their laptops do look very nice
indeed from the outside with the changeable lights on the outside, and the
sleek yet subtle industrial feel giving the user a feeling that they are wielding
a mighty machine.
The internals are also quite impressive featuring usually
what is the latest processors, graphics card and RAM available for laptops as
well as a variety of storage drives. The online process of ordering an
Alienware is also very well designed, where customisation was the main aspect
the website design team must've been going for, allowing consumers to choose
exactly what they want inside their laptop whilst providing little snippets of
info to inform the user, what a particular part of the laptop did and how
important it was.
However that us where the pros end in my opinion, whilst
they are great pieces of hardware no doubt, they are also very very expensive
for what seems to be no reason at all. A 17" Alienware laptop with
sufficient, not the best, sufficient internal hardware would cost you close to
£1400. Prices decrease the smaller screen size you go for, which in all sense
and purposes should make the laptop more expensive, as there is less room for
hardware to be stored and the company must use smaller parts. Part of the
reason why the range of laptops are as expensive as they are is because you are
effectively paying for the Alienware name, similar to paying for a Mac from
Apple. However best of all is that it's not even Alienware, not since Dell
bought the company and has been controlling things ever since. To which you
might as well buy a Dell XPS since you can fit the majority of an Alienware's
internals into one and you're not paying for a name.
Or of course you could always go for a laptop from
pcspecialist.com since there you're getting the same great fast running
internals of an Alienware for much less.
