kurei Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Hiw is Alienware overall? Is it worth to buy it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniac-Service Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 It depends on what you expect. If you choose the right hardware it's great for gaming. But keep in mind, it's a notebook and you pay for the setup and name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) The best bang for your buck would be to build your own. Look up a building video that has a good camera view. If you want me to find one, then say it What is your budget? But if you don't want a desktop then sorry for not helping I am just trying to help you know! You don't pay for the name, when building your own, and there is a setup video on youtube, again if you want me to find you one, then say it Edited April 25, 2014 by Dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniac-Service Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I think Asus and Schenker have some nice gaming notebooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkourDude91 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I recommend Sager. gaming laptops are silly though, unless you're willing to spend dosh, you end up with something silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaveli Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Do not buy an Alienware. I used to have an Alienware laptop and after a few months of usage, it became the worst piece of crap ever. If you want a gaming rig, you need to go for a desktop. Build your own. It's way cheaper and 100% better than the Alienware. Just take my words on this.

Nimba Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Alienware's not bad, but you can definitely get something better for a lower price. Alienware is just paying for the brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zyaz83 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Would recommend MSI new laptop which is really worth the money . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMan! Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 To OP, Alienware is owned by dell, yes their CS is one of their better ones, but I feel that their laptops are overpriced compared to competitors. I suggest checking out http://www.reddit.com/r/suggestalaptop ; (I just noticed you posted their with the same question). The people there are very helpful. Asus, Samsung, Lenovo and HP has some nice gaming laptops. I'd stay away from samsung for gaming laptops; their more of a ultra/netbook niche company. I've only had lemons with Hp so I can never really recommend them. Would recommend MSI new laptop which is really worth the money . MSI is great for the price espically their gaming laptops, however there have been reports of questionable manufacturing quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emiiru Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Asus, Samsung, Lenovo and HP has some nice gaming laptops. Lenovo is more of a office pc imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliveli123 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 One of my friends own a Samsung laptop for gaming. I will ask him and learn which one it is. He is really happy with his laptop. As for Lenovo, yeah it is mostly but they recently started with gaming laptops. Last week I saw one with a nice GPU, CPU and RAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tory Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 honestly, almost all laptops are overpriced and relatively useless. even a $3000 macbook pro has plenty of drawbacks. most ultrabooks don't even have 16:10 high resolution, and the ones that do are tiny (13 to 15") and hover around $2000.

MadMan! Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 the yoga pro 2 is great under $1,000.00, High resolution 13". I still can't justify a gaming laptop, too many cons to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
