Alienware laptops are just about the best laptops out there for gaming but, as said somewhere above, they are quite overpriced. If you really need a gaming laptop then I'm sure most people would recommend Alienware, otherwise I, and a lot of other people, would suggest getting a custom built computer, building it yourself, as it's a lot cheaper.

Alienware laptops are built up for gaming purpose only. They have a very configuration and large memory. But these laptops are also good for watching movies or for online gaming experience. Alienware laptops provide good speed efficiency but with a high value too.

They are not just for gaming if that's what you meant. They can be used for 3D Modelling, Graphics Design & Gaming. But for anything else, I would say a Mac would be a good idea.

They were designed and advertised primarily for gaming, but the actual reason people buy them is due to their badass lights on the casings and their design.

Similar, if not better performing desktops with even better cooling systems can be customized by someone with knowledge of building computers.

If you're looking to buy a high performance PC and you don't want that big of a hole in your pocket, feel free to sign up for a forum account at Steam and ask away whatever questions you may have here.

Mt dad actually works for dell (the owner of alienware) and for the price of the alienware you have a pc that does not need un upgrade for about 3 years (wich is good) you can use it for many other things than gaming

Hello an Alienware computer is made to be verry good for gaming. They are not only for gaming though, they are high performence computers. so you can do about anything you want on them. Personaly i would yse them for games only though. Although very high performence they are very expensive as you probibly know. i would suggest that if you a gamer to buy one if you want to but if you dont want to game on it i wouldent suggest it to you though. :)

Alienware computers are overpriced. Nuff said.

They're designed for gaming but they pack so much power that you can use it for just about anything else.

Id' say a lot of people buy them just because they look good as well.

They definitely target the gaming demographic. However, it runs Windows like any other Dell laptop. Feel free to do whatever!
