Sweet news. I gotta get myself an alienware laptop.

Isn't AlienWare a bit overpriced?

undercovrr4665d ago (Edited 4665d ago )

a bit would be an understatement. I can build the equivalent of a $2000 alienware computer for almost half the price

Omega Zues4665d ago

I personally own a Alienware and yeah the price was a bit over priced but it all depends on the build. How I had my stat out was only a few $$$ more than what it would of cost me to build it my self. Theres nothing wrong with a DIY build but at the same time I love my Alienware.

HOSe4665d ago

meh. u can build an alienware with a 2600 and a 590gtx for 1900$, expensive, but u cannot build a computer for half the price with the same specs.

ATiElite4665d ago (Edited 4665d ago )

WAY way way super way overpriced.

your basically paying for the hardware, then paying someone to build it, then paying for someone to make a profit off of it.

you can build the same or better for way less but if your PC illiterate and have ZERO PC savvy friends then and ONLY then is it OK to get one and no one will laugh at you for being priced RAPED!

this doesn't apply for laptops cause they are harder to build and get parts for so buying an Alienware laptop is cool.

Ares844665d ago

I know enough about PC's to build one. I always have built my own PC but how can you build your own laptop? I mean, I can change the ram and the HDD but other than that there isn't much you can change in a laptop can you?

As for towers, I got no problem building one. I'm just lazy to get a new one since I don't game on PC as much as I used to.

ThanatosDMC4665d ago

Very overpriced. An Asus laptop with the same specs costs hundreds of dollars less on newegg.com.

One thing I really love about Alienware's laptops is how quiet they are. I own an Alienware M15x which I'm currently using right now & I can hardly hear it's fans when just browsing the web or some other stuff, Pretty neat.

When gaming though, Yeah, It gets kinda loud, especially when you have the GPU over-clocked. I'd compare the noise level to a "slim" model Xbox 360.

Alienware's laptops are pure beasts in terms of performance.

n4gisatroll4665d ago

Dell owns Alienware?

Why are most common Dell's such crap then?

JsonHenry4665d ago

Dell owns the Alienware brand now. But it is still a DELL only with top notch parts in it and they slap an alienware sticker on it and charge extra $$ than if you bought the parts and built it yourself.

n4gisatroll4665d ago

Hmm, I guess I'm going to build my own then, I don't want to buy something that's suppose to be great, but is just overpriced because of a name, but then again, we all do that often I suspect.

femshep4665d ago

alienware went to hell once dell bought them out

It’s far from a Switch killer. People will always buy Nintendo based on brand loyalty and for their amazing exclusives.

indysurfn1564d ago

I agree!
"super premium" is not tech specs. They have no exclusive games they are going to have to at least have SUPER TECH! And they will still not touch SWITCH.

CaptainHenry9161564d ago

I feel that way with Nintendo and Sony

Kribwalker1564d ago

except when they get that switch emulator running on it. Then that thing could be wicked

spicelicka1564d ago

It would make it better than the Switch, but people still wouldn't buy it as much as the switch simply because of brand power and convenience.

2pacalypsenow1564d ago (Edited 1564d ago )

Exclusives which you can play on PC with an emulator. Js

Shiken1564d ago

One, you still have to buy the game to play it legally on an emulator...and you have to rip the game yourself.

Two, there is no Switch emulator at this point in time...JS

King_Noctis1564d ago

And you think this little thing have enough juice to fully emulate a Switch game?

Maybe you should wake up.

2pacalypsenow1564d ago

I don’t know it’s not out yet.

King_Noctis1564d ago (Edited 1564d ago )

“ I don’t know it’s not out yet.”

Why do you need to wait until it is out in order to realize that if a big desktop-sized PC struggle to emulate the Switch, then how can a tablet-sized PC like this one able to achieve that?

CosmicTurtle1563d ago

There is a Switch emulator called Yuzu.

Shiken1563d ago

@comic

Yuzu is experimental and most games either will not boot, or they run like garbage. Why even bother naming it when it runs would run worse than supporting the devs for their hard work?

Sounds like you are just looking for ways to claim you do not need a Switch to play major Switch games...but a quick google search will just out you quicker than you can type a response.

2pacalypsenow1563d ago

@Shiken

Actually majority of the switch’s mayor games are playable on the Wii U.

Shiken1560d ago (Edited 1560d ago )

@2pacalypsenow

That is false. I assure you that games like Mario Odyssey, Link's Awakening remake, Luigi's Mansion 3, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Astral Chain, Pokemon Sw/Sh, Smash Ultimate, BotW2 (coming soon), Splatoon 2, Xenonlade 2, Xenoblade Torna, etc etc etc are not playable on WiiU.

Just because the WiiU has lost its value to most of their under appreciated games getting a second chance on Switch, that does not mean that Switch is not still pumping out its own exclusives at an even greater number as well.

But like I said...downplay...and we all know you do a lot of it lol.

bujasem_891564d ago

Dare I say... Emulation? If I own it, why can't I play it in any form I like?

Shiken1560d ago

Because there is no reliable Switch emulator at this time.

m2stech1564d ago

How about Yuzu switch emulator installed on it?

aarogree1564d ago

Calling it a Switch rival would be more accurate.

1564d ago
isarai1564d ago

"Switch Killer" lol

People buy the switch for Nintendo's exclusives, so unless they can suddenly hault Nintendo from making games it's really not even gonna affect the Switch in the least. That said the product does look dope an i'd love to get one for emulation aswell as PC games.

Bhuahahaha1564d ago

lol when someone says its a "(insert game/device) killer" it will always end in failure

Vits1564d ago

That is what I call a sensationalist title.

The UFO is not even a real product, let alone a Switch killer.... It's just a concept, one of many that Dell has brought to the CES 2020. It might eventually go into production if they find a market for it. But as many other concepts it might as well just stay a concept.
