Alienware is cheap trash.

I'm so rage baited right now.

yup. they work great till the budget power supply grenades itself or the board.

and with the locked hardware filled with bloatware you'll enjoy a cluttered desktop from the very first power on.

but, if one doesn't have the knowledge to build one, that's probably a decent way to go.

i'd just recommend heading to your local computer shop before paying amazon and get a tech to take you through some of the rigs they have in-house and compare them to the amazon one.

i bet you pay less, and end up with more flexibility with your machine (ie, can swap parts. you cant swap parts on a dell. alienware is dell's flagship, they make their parts tamper proof, and i believe they have DRM on their hardware components now...or will. lol.)

Dude, you're getting a Dell.

You should buy parts from newegg and build it yourself. Even if you don't know what you're doing you can have their AI pick a build and you just put it together like legos.

Jeez, only 5060 for $1700...
You could have built something with 5070 Ti for this money.

Well, um...Alienware's have gotten...better over the years, I'll give them that (at least the new models finally have airflow). On the bright side, at least you didn't buy an Acer.

Here is what you could have built for this money:

Hell I never even thought about building my own computer I could possibly buy computer parts from Tiger Direct or something? I did upgrade the RAM on my old Desk Top before and I also installed a new Hard Drive on my old Desk Top. I think my brother Brian fried my old computer and tossed it the garbage. The reason I am buying a laptop is because it's more convenient and I can carry it around where ever I go because I got a new carrying case for my old laptop.

youtube has build information everywhere and its a lot easier these
days to put a computer together.... years ago i built 2 computers but
was never confident with some of the switching positions and they ran ok but
these days you have heaps more information to find out what you need to know...

i know nothing about computers either... i treat it like lego..... just click the bits
together read up a bit on bios switching for hardrives and ram and thats about it for me...

I would wait until next year to put into stock market. Really good chance it plummets some more before christmas. Recession is looming.

Alienware used to be good when it was just Alienware...Once Dell got ahold of it...Swirly Swirly Swirly...

Don't get me wrong; I invest in the stock market.

But buying stocks on November 1 and then expecting to turn that into enough money to buy a computer by Christmas sounds like gambling.

I'll get the pitchforks and lit torches ready.

No its fine, and at that price its entirely reasonable.

People really fetishize self building when its become a poor value for anything other than the really high end.
