Many appreciate its quiet operation and effective cooling system, while some find the included RAM and storage capacity to be limiting. The proprietary motherboard and power supply also received criticism for limiting upgrade options.

    This is a great PC for the casual gamer, which this system is geared towards. Alienware PCs have limited upgrade options, so take that into account when you purchase this system. Buying this during the holiday sale price of $1,200 was well worth it.

    This is my first gaming PC and so far it works perfectly, the games perform quite well and all the ones I have played so far I have configured the graphics in ultra. It has a very nice aesthetic design and so far I am very happy with this purchase.

    So far nothing wrong. Amazing gaming machine. Had it on for 7 hrs straight. Really quiet machine with very little heat coming from the vents. Will have to eventually upgrade the memory to 32 GB of memory rather than current 16 GB.

    It’s a good computer for what it is. However, after opening it up and seeing what was swapped out for lower quality makes me a little upset. If I were to buy it directly from the company that makes it, it would have had more storage and higher quality software components. The mouse and keyboard don’t match the brand of the computer as well.

    Not bad for what you get. Thats just it, though... you get what you get with limited upgradeability. If you are patient, you can get a pretty good deal, though. Depends on your needs. Also, it looks nice.

    Great machine! So far it has surpassed my expectations. The only thing I have to complain is the lack of additional memory slots for future expansion.
