Hi guys,
I've been wanting an Alienware for a longtime.
After owning an XPS and being robbed I thought about it and am about to make the purchase.
This is what I might get:
M14x: i7-3630QM, 14" (1366 x 768 | 720p), 16GB DDR3, 750GB 7200 RPM, 2 GB DDR5 NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M, Broadcom BCM4352 5GWiFi 2x2ac.
I managed to get a $300usd discount because it has windows 8 and it sucks.
so total of ~$2200 usd.
Any way, the thing holding that purchase is the warranty. If I wan't to extend the warranty for 3 years (basic) it's like 600 bucks more. I had just seen some lenovos and they are offering to expand your warranty for 3 years for just $1.
It made me think, if it's that expensive, the warranty, it's because you need it; meaning it WILL fail. But I really don't know since I've never owned an alienware nor know some one that has. I've owned Dell before and never had an issue.
So you guys have had the M14x for a while, how reliable are them? Is extending the warranty to 3 years a must? Not that I don't want to, but damn it's $600 extra for which I could get a SSD.
Thanks a lot and hopefully I'll be back here as a happy owner of an Alienware.
