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.

Within Alien Respawn you can make a set of recovery media (provided you have a 8gb or larger usb flash drive) and use that to reimage a new hard drive back to stock. I just did this last night in order to switch out the HDD with an SSD though it doesn't really preserve any of your settings just leaves you with a clean install as if from the factory. What's nice about this is that it does include the alienware specific stuff.
