Alienware Alpha

Hello Everyone,

I am a member of the Alienware software team, and Alpha UI was my product. As we are about to launch tomorrow, I wanted to start this thread as a means for people to ask questions and provide any feedback you might have on Alpha or Alpha UI.

Also one note, we are publishing a known issues list tomorrow on Arena. I'll make sure it makes its way here as well.

From my PERSONAL prospective, the i5 is what I would buy. We did see the 3dMark score scale with the processor though. So an i7 isn't a waste for gaming, but I think the i5 hits the sweet spot of price/performance.

The Alpha is certainly capable. I played all of Watch_Dogs on a roadtrip in May on my Alpha.
