Alienware does have some awesome looking stuff and their custom-assembly is great for the lazy people, but it should be obvious that it's not the best stuff. You can easily find better stuff else where just as you can easily find better stuff there.

I'd say your best bet is to show him this thread, although any positive effect will be dampened by the insults... Although come on, it's not like they know who he is and it's not like he knows what he's talking about.

Its another sad case of the "I want an alienware because it's an alienware". Same as the "I want an iPhone because its an iPhone"

I think most people buy Alienware computers just to boast about them and brag about them, instead of using them for gaming.

My friend has the iPhone 4S, and it's not that bad.

For starters, it has a better processor than my old computer.

But it's by Apple. They have some bullshit restrictions that you have to jailbreak to get passed.

True, but I mean come on. The hardware is pretty good, plus the apps don't crash as much as on an Android. An iPhone or iPod just feels so much smoother than other products.

Their computers will always be Pablo Honey tier, though.

So,

iPod = Amnesiac
iMac = Pablo Honey

"I am a game dev, so I need very specific attributes, CPU not being one of them."

That probably pissed me off the most. Why would a programmer want an alienware laptop? What makes a slow dual core cpu and a mid-range gpu good for programming? Wouldn't programmers want big, nice, mechanical keyboards that actually have number pads? I've got more coming, I'm talking to him right now about that laptop.

As someone that doesnt have a dick in his skull going through his ears, the **Central** processing unit... might be important.
Really. I mean fuck. If i could slap a 590 in my w95, doesnt mean it would be useful.

My friend has one of those and it has shitty ass reception which defeats the whole purpose of having a cell phone in the first place... to make phone calls! I guess I'm old fashion but all i want my phone to do is make a dam phone call when i want it to... i don't need no Fancy phone with internet or an mp3 player... I'll just keep with my basic flip phone...

And the battery life on those things sucks balls because of all the shit in there you're lucky if you don't have to charge it every night... Whereas all my phone does is make calls and text and my battery lasts a good week.


But then again i grew up in the generation where we all wanted Pagers and we didn't have these fancy phones... So thats probably why i never cared for them... Hmm maybe I should go dig out my old pager and see if i can bring those back into style LMAO

I have an iPod and some $60 Android, but the android has very poor music quality compared to the iPods, i'm assuming the iPhone is the same quality as the iPod. But I love to listen to Pandora comedians on my phone. But then I start laughing and people think i'm weird
