Alienware is overpriced flashy lights stuff.
I've been having the same dilemma.If not an Alienware and certainly not a Mac, LOL, then what?
something that isn't a stuffty "gaming" computerprobably talk to ethan about getting a custom built computer
I'd be much more comfortable with a standard brand-name computer, given I know nothing about computers beyond the fact that they are completely magical.
get whatever you want manif you want something for gaming, get an alienware, i guessif you need something for business, either get a macbook or some other business computer
