The first computer I received would freeze for 20-30 seconds (I think there was some sort of network card error as Ethernet usage would spike alongside that). I was hesitant to do a full refund since it was such an incredible deal, so I did an exchange.
The second computer had a different issue — the computer would randomly shutoff. At that point I could have gotten another replacement or refund since I was barely within the return window of 30 days after ship. (This would have been the last opportunity to have both of these options available ) I chose to just refund given the issues I had — I'm glad I did. I will acknowledge that at least one of these computers could have been more of an Intel issue than a Dell one, which could be resolved by now. I wound up building my own for a much greater cost, but I haven't run into any of the issues with the comp I built.
To 64GB and slapped a 2TB NvME and an 18TB spinner in it.
My current dilemma: do I just jump on this now or wait and see what 5080 pricing is gonna be? I've gotten some really nice 4K OLED displays since I bought my last desktop. From what I've read, the 5080 could outperform the 4090
Also, will the PSU in this thing handle a 5080 if I ever decided to upgrade it?
"Outdated" doesn't mean obsolete. It'll always play games or at the very least run productivity stuff for someone looking for a bargain price on the used market.
As is usual for Alienware deals, all the people who can't stop fiddling and upgrading come out talking trash about a prebuilt. Then don't buy one. It's not for you. This has a 1000W P/S which can handle a 4090. You can put in more RAM, a bigger or more SSD's, a newer WIFI card, a better GPU and a better CPU if this one isn't good enough yet people say you can't upgrade it. I say you can upgrade the things most people upgrade over the life of the PC.
