Seriously how is Alienware still in business?

Watching UFC and its sponsored by alienware!? How the fuk do these guys afford it? They release shitty gimicks which know one wants. Overpriced Laptop's and PC's. Gaming Tablets at the thousand price point. Every PC gamer tells noobs not to buy alienware and i never hear any good things from them.

Who the the fuk is buying their shit?

Yes i am mad bro..:evil:

Look at Apple. Consumers are, by and large, ignorant. Furthermore, Alienware is owned by Dell... Yeah.

if they're selling things that are overpriced, that people are buying. Then they make a profit. Also Alienware is part of Dell

Uninformed and lazy peopleMonsieurX

I like Alienware.

They make shiny looking stuff... and rich people like shiny looking stuff...

You have severely underestimated how lazy and uninformed the average consumer is.

Because herms are just as stupid as the people they talk down to, they just refuse to admit itRR360DD

The master race looks down on Alienware noobz

Their desktops are a huge waste of money, but their laptops are pretty high performing (albeit expensive). My biggest issue with their laptops, however, is that they are bricks. The 17" Haswell model -still- weights 10lbs plus power brick. Instead of using the new technology to try to reduce the footprint of the laptops they did what they always do and crammed as much fast hardware in as they could. While some people will still want that, I'm pretty much over the idea of carrying 30lbs of equipment on my back when I travel.

Because Dell bought them :| (Works for Dell)

people should not buy alienware. they are overpriced here in norway too. I buy my pc from a different vendor. someone who actually takes pre built gamers seriously, and dont mistake us for uninformed casual gamers just because we dont build our own computers.

Good or bad, it's one of the most single recognizable brand names in terms of gaming PCs. Regardless of anyone's opinion about their quality relative to their price, if you ask a non-gamer about a "gaming PC brand", they will probably say Alienware. That sort of name recognition goes a long way with the lay-person.

pretty much..this is also why you see so many console fanboys very igorant to the price of an gaming PC.

People who want an overpriced Windows-based PC instead of an overpriced Mac. 

Cause Dell owns them and people buy their products

also Davekeeh he seems too stupid to own any kind of gaming PC

didnt they have some super secret crap they were gonna unveil during e3stereointegrity

yep it was a new redesign of their laptops they looked pretty sexy

I have no idea how. I could buy all the PC part online and then pay a computer store $150-200 to assemble it and still save a ton of money over alienware (all while getting better quality parts).

It's usually that they can't afford a gaming Pc and just play with the console their parents or guardian gave them or they bought a used console and are living with it.

Because Dell owns them.

they make pretty good laptops. I would rather build one but usually laptops that can be built are more expensive then alienwares.

People fell for it.

I thought you would be joking about this subject of discussion. Good job you started the sentence with "seriously" or I'd have dismissed it as a joke.

You said it yourself.  Their computers are overpriced, which gives them high profit margins.  :|  They aren't living off the tight margins that define most PC OEMs.

Alienware isn't for me, but they serve a niche and have pretty decent general brand awareness considering.  Never understood the hate for them.  It's an overpriced avenue to higher end PC gaming, but it still gets people playing, and most Alienware customers don't seem to mind the premium price.

Uninformed consumers and people with money to burn.

Ignoring the incorrect use of the word know, this is bullshit.  Alienware is by far the most sought after computer brand and one of the only brands the uninformed PC crowd knows about aside from Dell.

just not sure why you would care? how many things are over priced in our daily lives? so someone wants to buy one..who cares? people that buy 30k + cars are ignorant to me. People that buy pants over 30$ are dumb,shirts over 20$, fake hair,nails,boobs,ect..TONS of things are bought that I dont agree with. BUT its not my place to tell someone what they should or should not buy..
