Alienware laptops....shit? - GoFuckYourself.com

Anyone have one, i got a sentia 233, paid a assload for it, and i have had to replace the motherboard twice now!!... I do not recommend dealing with them, their support IMHO is as bad, if not worse than dell/aohell support, third world style. I am at a standstill now, they want 305 to replace the damn motherboard for a 3500 laptop!!...pathetic, anyone else had problems, do i have any recourse, outside of warranty to get out of my contract to buy this piece of shit if it doesn't work?...thanks

I've never bothered with them, always seemed WAY over priced to me...

They make pretty desktops for rich kids, at least that's what I've always figured when I saw their ads. If they want that for the mobo and it's not under warranty then you really don't have a choice. Honestly, 305 for a notebook mobo doesn't sound bad what sounds bad is that you're already out of warranty. when did you buy it?

Dosen't dell offer kickass support ? that'S what I heard at least

ideaworx · 12-15-2005, 11:50 PM

it is a year and 4 monthes
but is barely used, i am telling you, and i had to send it off 2 weeks before my warranty ended to have the MOBO replaced already!...that is why i am mad, making 125$/mnth payments for something that doesnt work?...heh

Guys with small dicks have those laptops.

When it comes to laptops, I only suggest either Sony Vaio or Dell Latitude (the business series) and always with an extended warranty.

The fundamental problem with the idea of an Alienware notebook, as I see it, is that they're trying to give it desktop power. I just looked at their website, they're using desktop processors and not the mobile editions. Fuck, have you seen how hot the latest procs get?!

took it to a repair shop and they destroyed the entire laptop

If your looking for a top of the line gaming /work laptop with decent all round ability and thats not too heavy go with dell, Im ordering a m1710 in a few weeks.

Alienware was just rebadged Sager with a higher price; they're still overpriced toys for people with more money than brains - but hey, if you've got it, flaunt it.
