Every coin has two sides and I totally support Peter checking out both. However, I believe the pros outweigh the cons...a machine's longevity is mostly dependent on how you treat it. So if you have made several trips previously to the computer store regarding a fault on your device...do think twice...

Clearly risk analysis is limited. The problem could be a cable, or it could be a recalled version(and you are too far to participate) So the risk is 99%  that it will work. 
I love alienware(in fact ive been thinking of getting dealership), dont get me wrong. Im just the voice you might not want to hear, but if you go ahead and buy, at least you know what you are getting yourself into.

Of the laptops I've bought for myself and relatives I've never had to contact the seller to replace a part. Anyway, that's just my experience...!!

When was the last time you replaced a laptop part? What is the frequency. Do we have mac parts in Kenya?   Buy the Alienware

Well, when you have to get a chip shipped in by DHL, even if there is local support , you will wait, and maybe pay for the shipping rates......bragging rights wont matter then

If you are based in kenya you might want to consider support. What happens when something doesnt work?Spare parts?


Considering Alienware is now owned by Dell, then I don't think support would be such an issue. But my emails to the local dell distributors go unanswered...

God is not an excuse for lack of discipline

Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,but that we are powerful beyond measure.It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.As we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,our presence automatically liberates others.
