We like:
Cost-effective for a £4,200 PC; more storage than we've ever seen before on similarly priced models
We don't like:
Clunky Alienware case; overclocking reserved for a still higher-end Alienware system; no HDMI output
CNET UK judgement:
Even if we have a few reservations about this system, we can't deny that Alienware has an outstanding deal on its hands. It offers the same core hardware and twice the storage capacity as PCs that cost £1,000 more. High-end bargain hunters, assuming they exist, will find an amazing deal in this PC
