They have an excellent reputation for quality. As opposed to gateway. who sold me a piece of crap with inferior components and then failed to support it. My next one was going to be Alienware....they initially approved me for 2000....but when I went to place the order it was only 1000. I am on my second Dell since then and haven`t had any problems at all. Alienware is also somewhat pricey too. Compare Alien and Dell for features and price.
