    Hi all,

    visiting NYC from Ireland so want to take advantage of the €/$ rate and purchase a laptop amongst other things. It seems Alienware laptops are only available online - is this correct?

    Thanks

    Or you could call them. Arent Euro's more expensive than dollars? Or is it the other way around?

    EDIT: I thought NYC visiting Ireland. My bad. Just try to call them, or use their website.

    Call with Alienware CS and within 15 Min you have order fixed and finished

    CS sends you a E-mail for international order
    fill it with your data like, driver license, credit card, signature,

    and give them a US shipping adres for example from friends, family

    and your all done....... :D

    Don't forget to pick it up .....there

    they take 1 month to build it, so order in time....my advice, don't get it- read about all the issues at least so you know what you get into

    ( It's like an Alfa Romeo- looks good and gives you a Vroom, but you better get road side assistance with it as well...)

    also if you buy it from the states i dont think the waranty will be valid in ireland. im sure someone was also told that the delivery address has to be the same as where your credit card is registered.

    Yep, it would be best to order it from the UK site if you're from Ireland to avoid having problems with warranty issues. :)

    I could have saved about $400 if I ordered it from the US site, but didn't want to risk having problems with both warranty and support.
