Absolute mistake buying this. Manual says it will support 5200/5600 XMP RAM. That is a lie. It will not. Seriously considering considering buying new case and motherboard and salvaging GPU and processor. Why have a processor and GPU bottlenecked by something as simple as RAM? Because the MB is made as cheap as possible?

It's a great bargain if you find it on sale. please take in to account that it has limited upgradability because of the motherboard and the shape, but it does look fenomenal

Blue screen of death occurred just after 2 weeks of usage. Otherwise, it was running beautifully. Luckily I had Best Buy's TotalTech Membership which allowed me to return it with no issues.

I bought this item as an open box - excellent condition but is not what i received! I literally got the pc tower only! It was missing the power cord, the wifi antennas, the mouse and keyboard. Definitely disappointing experience

Proprietary parts and crashing mess

Gave it a shot only because I got an open box deal. I already knew about Alienware's proprietary parts and difficulty with upgrades down the road, but for the price I couldn't pass it up. When I opened the box I was surprised to see it in decent condition aside from the box being absolutely destroyed. Once I plugged it in, the system would crash every 20-30 seconds after startup and I was basically thrown in a setup screen loop. I then reseated some of the cables which seemed to do the trick, but it was only a temporary fix... The issues persisted and I eventually returned it.

I purchased the Alienware because it was an open product but aside from that its exceeded my expectations. Fast start up, great playing Diablo IV and incredible response timexplaying WOW. Id say that im more then happy with the product. Alienware a bit pricey but didnt have the time this year to build one so im glad i went with a pre-built

I've always wanted an Alienware since I was kid and this did not disappoint. Definitely a bit of an overkill for my first gaming pc but I love it, specially at the discounted price I got it for.
