Alienware

Advantages: Great looking site, great looking products, customer service
Disadvantages: Expensive products, rumour says products are unreliable.

...Alienware is a website that sells high-powered gaming Desktops and Laptops. This is a review for the website, and that is mainly what I will talk about, as I don't really want to stray into talking about the computers themselves as many other reviews have done, although I will outline briefly the different items which Alienware sell. The website is extremely good looking, it has futuristic themes that suit the name of the website, as well as the products which they sell and the company logo. The navigation of the website is also very easy to use. The links are easy to find, and everything is clearly labelled so the user always knows what they are doing. When viewing the different machines the website really comes into it's own, as there are animations of each part of the different machines in order to fully display the different...

Review of Aurora, Tivoli

Aliens Again

Advantages: Powerful, Portable
Disadvantages: Costly

...In steps the newly updated Alienware Aurora m9700 now not only available in three crazy colours; green, blue or silver, but also with the added bonus of being the first 17-inch laptop to feature 1GB of graphics memory across two 512MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS graphics cards. The machine, which in size dwarfs over the office's 15-inch G4 Powerbook, looks every bit the Green Goblin, Incredible Hulk or any other menacing comic book hero you can think of and in keeping with the Alienware laptops the notebook sports a glowing alien head on the top of the model just like apple laptops with its logo. Powered by an AMD Turion 64 Mobile Processor (ours had a 2.2GHz 800MHz FSB 1MB L2 Cache) and with memory starting at 512MB and up to 2GB of DDR SDRAM at 400MHz the Aurora offers a powerful alternative away from Dell's (who bought Alienware...

Review of Alienware Aurora m9700

Auroraing success

Advantages: Comfy for baby. Wide easy to clean tray.
Disadvantages: Assembly instructions poor. Difficult to adjust height.

.... I needed it to be very easily cleaned, and really wanted one with a double tray so that I could leave the baby to play for a few minutes whilst beginning the clean up. Of course there was also the 'oh so important' safety aspect to consider. The Aurora Plus has all these features; The chair has several recline positions. The cover is removable for serious cleans, and is easy to wipe clean on a day to day basis. It is nicely padded so my baby looks really at ease in it. It comes with a 5 point safety harness which, although perfectly functional, does not seem overly comfortable. They don't have any extra padded bits to slip over the straps like so many harnesses seem to come with these days. It can be slung in the washing machine, but is a little tricky to remove and you have to take some care refitting it correctly...

Review of Cosatto Aurora Plus High Chair

Aliens are not a higher intelligence.

Advantages: It looks cool
Disadvantages: customer service, quality of build, customer service and customer service

...Firstly let me state that this review of an Alienware Aurora system pre-dates the Alienware-Dell partnership. Firstly a little background. I bought my "dream machine' on the 4th of May 2004. Prior to this I had built my machines myself, buying the parts from various online retailers with no problems. Having worked particularly hard and cashing in on lots of overtime I decided to treat myself to my 'dream machine'. I had done some research first, and found a lot of very favourable; I would actually say exceptional, reviews of the Alienware Aurora Systems. So I took the plunge and bought an Aurora system; listed below: 2 | CORSAIR 512MB DDR PC3200 REGISTERED ECC 1 | 16X DVD-ROM 1 | SEAGATE BARRACUDA 120GB 8MB CACHE SERIAL ATA HD 1 | LITE-ON 52/32/52 CD-RW BLACK 1 | 1.44MB FLOPPY DRIVE BLACK 1 | SOUNDBLASTER AUDIGY 2...

Review of Alienware Aurora Enthusiast

Sol Aurora, Umag, Croatia. Like Spain, Only better.

Advantages: Beautiful country, great hotel, nice food, cheaper than Spain
Disadvantages: None Really.

...My wife and I spent a couple of weeks at the Sol Aurora, Umag, in June 2007. We have been to several places around Europe, e.g. The Baleriks, Spain, Italy, but fancied something a little different. Not being a fan of flying, I usually look for places within a 3 hr flight from Leeds/Bradford, Croatia is only 2hr 20mins away, so seemed ideal. Umag itself is a very nice smallish town, with a small port, located to the north of Croatia, on the coast of the Adriatic, only a few miles from the boarder with Serbia. The locals are very friendly, the weather is similar to northern Spain, and with Croatia not being in the Euro, prices are very reasonable. The Sol Aurora Hotel is a 4 star, situated just north of the town of Umag, almost directly on the beach, wel, I say beach, it is actually a concrete sun terrace, but there are plenty...

Review of Sol Aurora, Umag

Alienware M17

Advantages: Gorgeous look, great speed
Disadvantages: Its big but powerfull

...I have read a lot of negative reviews about Alienware myself. I too feel I have to set the record straight. I bought a laptop from Alienware, and it works like a dream. No faults, no noise, no extreme heat, nothing of the sort. It is the fastest machine I have ever worked on... It was built to my specifications, arrived before the due date in pristine condition and packaged gorgeously. When asked for support I was promptly dealt with. I am sorry for all the people writing reviews that had bad experiences with Alienware, but anyone would be more likely to write a review if they had had a bad experience rather than if they had a good one I can only say that I now own a laptop that has a kick ass look, is faster than any other laptop I have seen or handled and is different from all the hum hoe run off the mill products you see...

Review of Alienware.co.uk

Alienware works perfectly

Advantages: VERY high performance systems, decent value for the basic Aurora and possibly other's
Disadvantages: VERY overpriced when it comes to upgrades. Slow at getting stock back in stock.

...I bought my alienware around two months ago now, and I have not had a single problem with it. The reason I waited this long to post this review is that I heard alot of people say that something went wrong with theirs, but nothing has gone wrong with mine. Overall, the computer is very reliable, fast and most importantly, brilliant at playing games, even though I only bought the basic Aurora desktop, that when I bought it, cost only £700. I did the math and that's not a bad price for what you get. I will say though that the other models and upgrades are ery overpriced. I looked not long ago and found that if I was going to upgrade myself rather than asking them to do it, it was going to save me around £200. Not only that but i would get to keep/sell the parts that I got with the base system, potentially saving me even more money. The base...

Review of Alienware.co.uk

Looks like aliens want to have fun too!

Advantages: THE best gaming PC known to mankind, and alienkind.
Disadvantages: A price to fit.

...Alienware are number 1 when it comes to building the ultimate games machine. With un-mistakable exterior looks, and the performance to back up the aggression, an Alienware PC is the ultimate must-have for all PC Gamers out there. Alienware have a patented design for their cases. The cases are extremely good looking, in an ET sort of way, but the good looks are also very functional. At the bottom of the case are some "Gills" which take in cold air and direct it to the components to ensure they run at peak performance, a trademarked process they call "Alienice". These "Gills" also have a nice glow, which Alienware call "bioluminescence", to them of which you have a choice of 3 colours; *Astral Blue, *Terra Green, *Fusion Red. They have also included side locking panels and a nice Cable Management System to "tame the wild jungle...
