Dell Drops XPS Gaming Line in Favor of Alienware
Well as the title says, Dell will be dropping it’s high-end gaming systems branded under XPS and letting it’s Alienware division handle these systems. It’s about time. I often wondered why the heck they continued to produce their own XPS gaming systems and competed with themselves (Alienware). I figured the whole point of buying Alienware was to increase penetration into the PC gaming market and also to buy the strong brand equity that Alienware has in that market. But they kept producing new XPS gaming systems which didn’t make much sense.
It Came Today!!
My new computer came today! Man, this machine is NICE. I’m going to wait until tomorrow to set it up. I have to move a hard drive on my current computer to the new one. Then I have to format my old computer and set up all the programs on the new computer. It’ll probably take most of the whole day. But who cares! My new computer is here!
Here are the specs:
New Computer
A week ago I ordered a new computer from Dell. I emailed customer service today asking why it hasn’t been shipped and they said it will be put on priority. I actually ordered a refurbished system from Dell Outlet. Refurbished systems are computers that people have returned and get put back into production and testing. Even though nothing is wrong with it they just can’t sell it as new, so they sell it in Dell Outlet for big discounts. These babies usually sell fast but I was able to find a configuration I wanted at the right price. I had been scoping out the Dell website for weeks, just waiting for the right deal to come along.
