Alilenware was great back before they… Alilenware was great back before they were bought by Dell. Now they are nowhere as easy to work with and it seems like their PCs are more cookie cutter instead of the awesome custom PCs I used to get from them. I would still use Alienware but they arent the best anymore.

Awesome X17 After reading all the negative reviews after my purchase, I thought oh dear what have I done. However everything has been superb. I received my X17 R1, i9 32gb Ram, 2T SSD, Comfort view, slight lead time due to pandemic as ordered when first went on sale; a first for me after progressing through the various consoles in my life from, Atari, Sega Megadrive, Playstation, XBox etc. Well what can I say, but awesome! Been using for 7 months now, and added the mouse headphones and 25" Monitor everything from gaming to programming not a glitch, super fast and responsive. Streams my D&D Talespire session to discord without any bother, perfectly. Also downloads games from Steam without a hitch, pairs up Xbox controller no problem, runs Unreal engine just great. Just one small problem, it didn't come with my prepaid McAfee quiet build, but McAfee sorted that after I gave them my order number. Would thoroughly recommend, as for the fan noise, can't hear it with my headphones on ha ha.

Not much to say Very helpful staff over at Dell/ Alienware, helped me with all my problems. Cancelling, reordering, questions etc. Shipping was on time and even earlier than expected. Everything was great :).

Dead pixel on a 1000€ display I bought an Alienware AW3418DW in Dec 2019 and already now in Feb 2021, there's a dead pixel. Contacted Dell (Alienware's) CS and they informed me that there need to be 6 dead pixels in order to look at the problem. I could understand this on a cheap monitor but this is a 1000€ piece of hardware. I think most geeks know that Alienware are mediocre at best most of the time, and here it shines. I won't be shopping Alienware (or Dell for that matter) in the future. The monitor outside this is good and I am happy with the rest.

dogs**t dogs**t worse computer ever overprice and performs bad for the specs. and do not set the rbg to white on the r12 as it looks like p*ss, everthing about my expierence with alienware was terible.
