This is why it's so important to read reviews, especially negative ones, of prebuilt PCs before you buy one. (This true for EVERY product you want to buy.😁) And checking the return policy is also important. (And thanks for your candid, though negative, review of this Alienware PC. Had I intended to buy this PC, I would now reconsider not buying it )
The thing is people who buy prebuilts who eventually build their own don’t usually upgrade their system then build one most people I know buy a prebuilt then buy pieces to build one separately for the prebuilt. And a lot of people who buy prebuilt usually don’t build one. They’ll just upgrade every 4-7 years
I’m looking at the 4090 r16 with 14900kf & it looks much better priced than any other 4090 prebuilt. Also this option has a 1000w power supply included with the ability to upgrade everything besides the CPU.
Nothing wrong with this workstation. It is actually a good value. If you want to customize your own, then by all means go ahead and do it. If you don’t want to deal with building a new computer but want the performances, then this workstation will be sufficient.
@@kanyewest2731 this means OEM pc last longer because Oem components looks ugly but are of higher quality.. Assembled pc doesn't last longer because components looks beautiful but inside it is of cheap quality.. if you know you know
Alienware customer since 15 yeas long ago. I dont had the urge to upgrade. When i had one problem, support just send me a new one. I dont have the time to deal with DIY PC... amazing jog Dell
I love it more, the facts that they built is so people who are cheapstake wouldn’t just make fun of the pre-built products, which means they can’t built their own R16 LOL!! It’s a win win for the customers
Anyone that can do their own diagnostics is going to just build their own system. The majority of people that buy computers won’t be doing more than adding extra storage or ram.
Just no. First off, you can change the 500W to different wattages. (I got an 1000W). Second, if you need repairs, just ask dell customer support. If you still have the warranty, they’ll give you a new one. Third, if you are looking for an upgradable system, don’t get this. If you are looking at this, just get higher specs for future proofing.
That’s what I said because the pc isn’t bad he could have just bought the better versions of the Alienware pc for less money and it would be just fine.
Such a shame what came of Alienware. Before they where acquired they where such a decent company I sometimes think if they weren’t acquired and would’ve kept going at what they always wanted they could be a quite big thing nowadays
To be fair, no one who is willing to build their own PC would even bother buying a prebuilt. Those that would buy this probably won't even bother with upgrading anything and just want something that works out of the box with an alienware logo. It's just simply know your customer.
Alienware is not a real PC brand since Dell bought them the second you hear that name you pass on the product no matter what until they separate from Dell and develop their own identity again.
This is made for casual gamers who don't want to upgrade parts and keep the same chassis for years upon years. I myself upgrade about every 4-5 years. I purchased this exact r16 with a 1000 watt PSU, i7 13700, RTX 3070 ti, 16gb ram, 1tb SSD for about $1200. You can't find a better deal anywhere for this exact build. I was able to stack my 12% discount for being a AAA member (literally just enter your email), 10% military, and 10% rakuten on top of the sale at $1699. Also I switched the ram from 16gb to 32gb using Kingston fury RGB ram, which had no problem letting me upgrade. Edit: I also got 5 years of support so any issues at all Dell will fix it or replace it. Which cost me $209.
When it comes to major pre built manufacturers Lenovo is the absolute best! I was able to put a new power supply and huge GPU in my legion 7 tower before I eventually just case swapped the whole system into an NZXT case. Huge W for Lenovo.
You know the chances of it working without sending it back to the builder. Have bought 3 from builders, and they all had to be returned. I would rather put a model car together than a gaming pc. 😅at the people that mess up and lose money trying to build. 😅
It's all reused or rebuilt parts. Plastic sockets on cpu holder. Rebuilt psus. No heatsinks on memory chips. Supportassist misadventures! Language barriers! Better get right Dell! Oh my cpu came packaged with bent pins freaking jerkos Alienware!
Fortunately my Dell T3500 is a bit customizable..but the cpu cooler...... I changed RAM, PSU and CPU at least....I would understand(but not even that much) a proprietary Server hardware but I would never understand a proprietary Gaming PC.....It would be like buying a console..
Unfortunately that’s just how some companies choose to sell their products. All in one with propitiatory parts so you can’t fix or replace anything. You’re honestly just better off building your custom rig, it’s about the same price but you have a say in how modular your system is and you can go as crazy high or low as you want in terms of power
@@Nogdog945 I totally agree with you since you know what you are assembling to make the rig, having the necessary knowledge, unfortunately there are people without such knowledge to do that. Acknowledging this, it's not justified to sell a rig to the aforementioned people which is not modifiable for such prices, considering that at this point people could buy a laptop and a console to cut the expenses...
@@marklionheart7715 I just built my own pc, and I know fuck all about the parts. I was given a list but I went my own way and now it’s overpowered monster. But for stumbling my way through it, so far I’ve done pretty well
This isnt made for builders dude... this is literally made for the people that never even blow their cases out... theres a reason these are made with 0 internal veiws through the case and proprietary hardware...
I don’t like dell in every form ( gaming or just a normal pc ) it’s just not good , I had 2 laptops in the past one dell that for no reason decided to die on me after 6 months and the other one is alien I thought it’s better but no it did the same thing after 8 or 9 months ( and the price was more then 2000 I can’t remember the exact price) . So yeah if there laptops r bullsh!t I’m not surprised ther desktop r too .
Why didn’t you just spend little bit extra to get 4070ti and comes with better cpu and also 1000watt power supply don’t complain for what you paid for when you could have spent more and all those problem would be fixed also dell has a trade in program that help you buy a new pc from them I traded my r7 in and got 550 store credit and also 700off there pc right now I bought a 2400 dollar pc from them for like 1600 with tax and everything honestly best deal of my life
I got the one that is i9, and 13th gen, and 32 gb of ddr5 ram, and it really great, you got the i7 plus the other specs, so you could have just get the better verison and you wouldn't have to upgrade it.😂😂
First of all, nobody is poor like u guys Second of all, we got money but no time, that's why we buy pre build. And also the main reason is if my PC spoils, i can just call them and ask them for new unit replacement all i need is just one phone call. No question asked they will replace for u. For the upgrade part, for me im not sure about the rest, after i buy it i will replace it with 7000mhz ram and add 4tb ssd. Most of us we will buy max spec to sustain another 4 more years. We dont buy cheap thing and replacing every one year. We dont have that much of time. Thirdly if u r that poor and cant afford a few thousand bucks of PC i guess its time for u to find a better job or pls go and study. For ur ownsake.
Dell gives you the option for 500w or 1000w its your customers fault. As for the proprietary connection on the matx power, you should have a spare power supply or adapters.. youre a "tech" can also tell your new at this because dell has always done this with their mobos lol
I the hate you people have for dell is insane, People know dell has there own parts so why do people buy them just to talk shit, This guy sucks as an youtuber
Just don't buy the 500w versions. You can literally upgrade just about everything involved with the purchase process. I got a hell of a deal on an R15 with a Ryzen 9 7900X cpu and a 4090 gpu. I got the 32gb RAM version upgradable to 64gb or even 128gb if I wanted to fork over the ridiculous amount of money Dell wants to charge for ram. But it has 4 RAM slots so I can just buy 2 more 16gb sticks cheap to upgrade in the future when I need it. Came standard with a 1350w power supply. I could have upgraded to a 1500w for more money or downgraded if i wanted to (but why). I feel like Dell does target those that don't know a lot about building PCs and just want to pay money for something that works right now. My R15 is still a monster and I got the stuff needed at purchase so that it would make it easier to upgrade in the future. It is legit future proofed for AT LEAST the next 5-6 years. I do like the newer design though but I do agree the proprietary stuff they use does make things difficult. For instance, the motherboard has the second m.2 slot about 3/4 of the way BEHIND the gpu. Making it difficult to access. Other than that, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Like I said, I got a HELL of a deal.
Most people aren't going to need more then 500 watts and I also don't know what kind of GPU that is, but if it's anything above like a 1080, it's going to be throttled.
The problem is that Power Connector is based on 12VOATX imposed by Intels... yet the person who made this video is not well aware about that standard that even some PSU of Corsair are using, on the PCB, the ATX-XXL is used by servers, but not with the Front Ports attaech to the mainboard, so I dont think this guy of Matts is even qualify for this kind of "review".
