    Hello I'm making this thread for a simple reason to know where is alienware most concentrated and at what places did it reached!

    Simple reason: I'm from Portugal and the alienware does have a webpage to Portugal, but for no reason it's fake and it belongs to UK, so didn't get it from there and resolved my way from a store of clevos and other laptops

    I hope this thread get somewhere :D

    thanks guys

    So you also suffered from bad distribuition from alienware.

    I like very much of alienware but they would expand and study the countrys that would like to have them, like Portugal or your case KSA.

    Hi Lp i have an m15x and i live in Azores and study in lisbon, but ordered mine from the Us because my father has an import buissnes so it was shiped to the headquaters in us and the put it in the shipping container with the products the the company imports.. and its a lot cheaper buying in the us, only had one problem with a bad bios update and it was sent to alienware but their factory in ireland, tehy fixed it free of charge.

    im now dissapointed because they do not pump out grafics driver for the m15x because we cant use any above 186.81

    What course are you taking??
    That's great, I study just close there in Inete, near Saldanha.
    One question do you know more people with alienware in Portugal?? We can start an Alienware PT group what do you think??

    Oh, I have it it only took 3 months to arrive, however as I won it in a competition the spec was the absolute minimum possible, except for the Memory, that was 4Mb so I am trying to upgrade without paying Dells rediculous prices

    There is no Alienware factory in Croatia.Alienware laptops are all made in China .Alienware desktops are made in Poland.If you were speaking to UK tech support this is based in Slovakia.

    Pd: The UPS guide show all the track, if they are lying i dont understand why bother them selfs ?
