Many appreciate its quiet operation and effective cooling system, while some find the included RAM and storage capacity to be limiting.

    The Alienware pc allows me to do everything I want. Any games, csgo, league, wow, etc. I’ve never been happier and it’s been a whole year.

    Does exactly what we needed it to , we bought it for gaming and everything we've thrown at it has run beyond smooth including city skylines 2 ( which is saying a lot). We managed to snag it on sale and honestly will probably buy a secondary one so we each have our own.

    I have been waiting for a PC like this for a while. The clean and subtle aesthetic and low profile are very satisfying. I find it sufficient for all my gaming needs and productivity for the household. And, it has plenty of potential for upgrading storage and memory as needed.

    Easy purchase, and the item was excellent. Ordered online and picked it up at the store couldn’t be easier. I’ve had the computer for a few months and it works as advertised would recommend. I think this is a big improvement over the previous model.

    Outstanding PC. Extremely quiet, runs every game and program great. Fast load times and no issues in anyway so far. Only thing is that it does have a hard time keeping a steady connection to the Wifi. But that may be an issue with my internet not the PC.

    Great PC, very strong performance for the price with gaming in particular, but good for any use. Seems well constructed and no issues whatsoever at setup. We have had good luck with Dell pcs in the past and expect this to be reliable for years too.

    Smash hit Christmas gift for my son. Really pleased with the performance of this rig. When he was unwrapping it and saw the Alienware logo on the box an involuntary “oh xxxx!” popped out. Very pleased with it.

    Excellent so far, after only 3 weeks. This replaced a 5 year old Alienware laptop that started running hot. I'm a HEAVY Photoshop LR user...the water cooling solved the heat problem. Easy setup...Quiet.

    great system, only downside is there is only 2 ram slots. so you are limited on upgrading. i recommend getting 2 32gb ddr5 5600 sticks and putting in them in place of the 16gb it came with.
