Honestly, I could never justify spending thousands of dollars on an Alienware product. I just needed a good, solid gaming PC to run some games (nothing crazy, just some STEAM products) and wanted to be as cost efficient as possible. When I saw this for less than $900, I jumped on the opportunity immediately, and this is the best computer I have EVER owned. For the price, I have absolutely no complaints. It runs EVERYTHING very quickly and smoothly, and I have experienced no lag whatsoever while playing games. I highly recommend this if you've ever wanted an Alienware, or a mid-grade gaming PC without taking out a personal loan. I LOVE this computer!! OH AND BY THE WAY: Out of the box, the computer has a graphics card driver update that NEEDS to be done before you can play ANY games. So do that before you start going hogwild playing games, or else you will experience a horrid lag. Once the update is done, you'll be able to immediately start reking scrubs, 8/8

There aren't many reviews on this computer, so I thought I would share my experience with it. The PC has a good video card and can run most modern games on at least Medium settings. It's a pretty good price for an entry level gaming computer, and the name brand Alienware is big in the pc gaming industry. Don't expect to run every gorgeous game on max settings (like The Witcher 3 etc). If you want to do that you're going to have to go with a higher end pc. That being said, I haven't had any issues with the pc and I love it! Very responsive.

2 pros to this PC are it is very compact which is one of the main reasons I purchased it. Price was another top factor. Two cons of this PC is I chatted with ASUS before purchasing it and wanted to make sure there was another slot for a full-size hard drive and was told there was, however, there is only an extra slot for an SSD drive. Another con is the optical (DVD) drive randomly ejects disks. The reason I haven't returned it is because it seems to be due to a hardware issue.
