The All Alienware Setup

Alienware is the out-of-this-world system integrator that produces, monitors, keyboards, gaming PCs and well, a whole lot more. While we've been super positive on their QD-OLED gaming monitors how is the rest of their lineup? Their Gaming Prebuilt, Aurora R15, was maligned by the DIY community, but maybe their fully redesigned Aurora R16? With an Intel Core i7-13700F CPU an NVIDIA RTX 4070, it just might be a good setup. Only one way to find out.

As an unaware kid in the 2000s this was my dream setup

Alienware literally is a mystery bag. It could be good. It could be bad but it will always be expensive.

[PyromancerRift]

Alienware never fail to bring prices out of this world.

An Alienware PC was my dream when I was a kid. Finally got an Aurora R14 a couple years ago with all the best components. Within a month it just quit, it was stuck on the Alienware booting screen. Hours on the phone with support and no luck. Had 2 techs out within 2-3 months, the 1st tech took hours taking everything apart and replacing what he did and was unable to fix anything. A 2nd different tech came out with more parts, replaced them and noticed the 1st tech broke the computers face plate, which I was unaware of, and of course ordered a new one and some more parts and needed to come out again at a later time. The 2nd tech came out again, replaced more and the computer was still unable to get off the boot screen. The motherboard, RAM, GPU, CPU, everything was replaced multiple times with no avail. Even the tech was stumped. The very expensive computer was returned, I ordered one through NZXT with all the newest parts. Got it and had no issues. Eventually the 3090 went out and I contacted the company. I sent the computer back, it the graphics card replaced and couldn't be happier. Long story short I returned all the Alienware accessories I bought Including the computer.

I really love Alienware, every time I build my PC, I just go to their website copied their specs then build my own accordingly. The result always make me feel like I saved a lot of money.

In 2001-2002, I had a friend with an Alienware PC, and he had me convinced it was the greatest computer money could buy lol

[praetorxyn]

Since I was born legally blind, the Department for the Blind and Visually Impaired bought me a laptop for graduate school, and I picked an Alienware one that ended up being like 2-3 inches thick with SLI mobile graphics, this was in about 2008. I distinctly remember sitting in the front row one day with it plugged into the wall, and my database professor asking me: "What are you powering, a reactor?" when he saw the power brick.

[FallenArtemie]

Alienware computers always looked really cool. I always knew they were more money than they deserved to be but whenever someone pulled out an Alienware laptop I had to take a look. My cousin had a m11 that was probably the coolest looking netbook you could buy.

Build redux specifically wanted to sponsor this video. They knew exactly how to use this golden opportunity

Edit*: I see a lot of people say build redux is also shit. No clue tbh, I'm not from N.A. And as far as I'm aware that's the only place they are active. Dell is active everywhere, and from the moment I came face to face with my first Alienware dell to repair I hated them. Because of all the proprietary bullshit they do which makes it almost unable to repair as your average Joe's PC shop. Build redux is just the better choice between these 2

Linus's ability to drop and knock over things truly amazes me

[grimking]

Great. Now you need an Acer Predator setup. Alien vs Predator

[Apercu]

LTT putting a Build Redux ad at the beginning of an Alienware video is perfection. Well played.

[emanuelperez]

As a kid i always thought Alien Ware was literally alien hardware turned into pc 😂 being a kid was awesome.

[Dudae_]

Linus: the io being part of the board is actually pretty cool
GN Steve: this io is literally the biggest affront to pc building everywhere and to my being as a whole

[scaryfish]

Oh man, seeing Adam really come into his own has been great, he's a fantastic host/co-host

9:13 It is illegal in the EU. When I go to the Dutch DELL website for example it is not there and they just show you the price including TAX, as this is also required in the EU.

Here in The Netherlands they are even working on making it so that online retailers are required to show the price from 2 weeks ago and maybe even changes in between now and 2 weeks ago. This is because it is illegal to change the price within 2 weeks before putting it on sale, like for example seeing something listed as NOW FOR ONLY 79, 99 instead of 99, 99, while it was always 79, 99. With this they want to make it more transparent to consumers what the sale actually is.

I totally want to see a all razer setup

[mikeyhope]

I remember when I was in like 7th grade I wanted to use all my savings (around 1200 dollars) to buy an Alienware laptop. Super happy I changed my mind and decided to build my own pc instead. Think I made the right choice all these years later.
