Alienware computers are way overpriced for what you get.  You can build the same system for far cheaper or a better system for the same price.

Anyone know what the highest end game a sony vaio could get on here? I'm gonna be getting a vaio intel i5 with 8 gig o' ram soon, gaming isn't a priority (or else i'd get an alienware) but i am curious as to what exactly one of these things can do.

I've always wanted an Alienware. I really don't play any games on my computer anymore, since I got 360. Nothing beats a first person shooter with a mouse\keyboard though!

Alienware = Ridiculously Overpriced. Also owned by Dell now.
You can build the same exact specs in any alienware system for a lot less than what Dell charges.

They used to be a lot better 6-7 years ago, before being bought out by Dell.. but still WAY overpriced for what you get.

Source: Work in the GPU industry. Help people build custom gaming PCs all the time.

Also Dell support sucks my left nut.

Do you even read the fucking thread before you post.

Wait, maybe you know something I don't.

What is your equivalent laptop build that can match an alienware laptop.

Please list the price and online store from which to buy the parts.

Reminds me of the Beats headphones. Way over priced but everyone thinks they are the GOD of headphones. By everyone I mean most people.

Not worthless.. you just have to spend like 1500-2000 to get a decent GAMING laptop.
And spending that same amount on a custom build desktop will net you roughly 2-3x the performance of that laptop.

Yeah, not saying there isn't a better choice.
But every time a alienware laptop thread pops up, everyone says how cheaper it is to build one.

I have a alienware mouse pad. I had an idiot roomate/good friend drop almost 6 grand on a alien ware computer about 9 years ago.
His ass doesn't own any part of that now a days. Stupid bulky plastic case and components that are not worth a dime today.

Even if you shell out the cash, you have the heat to contend with.  They just aren't practical for high end gaming.

It's a niche market.
It won't ever be as good as a desktop, but it would be good enough for most games at a decent resolution.


Me I would never buy an expensive laptop. Something cheap and protable oh yeah, something heavy and huge that doesn't move...  that's where I will game from.

I spent about 90% of my time in class in law school playing videogames.  The fan on my laptop was pretty loud, too.

I went to look at laptops today, and i swear that salesman would be the most persuasive date rapist ever. After they didn't have the laptop i wanted we walked around looking at others, and i said i'll have to go home and research more and think it over and he said i could just google it right there on a display and test it out while im at it. You would not believe how badly i wanted to just google download free virus, and click the first link while he watched from over my shoulder.

The graphics card's your main concern, but just about anything using the original (and still formidable!) Source engine would almost certainly be within your reach, particularly (or perhaps only) with low graphics settings.

This gets you:
-CounterStrike: Source
-Half Life 2 & Episodes 1 & 2
-Left 4 Dead 1 & 2
-Dark Messiah of Might and Magic

And many, MANY more.

GTA San Andreas is probably a safe bet, as is Oblivion or at least Morrowind.

For more casual fare, Mine craft would be an especially certain option.

And you know what? Battlefield 1942 is still Fun. As. Fuck.


Vaios are VERY sleek personal and executive laptops. The first laptop I ever fell in love with was a paper-thin Vaio Pentium III machine with a docking station that added a DVD drive and more ports.

Guess you missed the part where my frail little LAPTOP was running Bioshock Infinite on Very High/Ultra ON TOP OF Skyrim running on ULTRA in the background, huh?

Most "PC Gamers'" [is that the right way to pluralize that within quotations?] desktops couldn't hold a match to the AVERAGE 17 or 18 inch laptop that Alienware ships to its customers.

Again, I advocate "used" here. There's your half off to nullify the (maybe) 2x boost-for-your-money multiplier (and 2x might be a little liberal even... especially for a higher end one like I got so lucky to acquire).
