Alienware

Alienware is a computer hardware manufacturer headquartered at The Hammocks, in Miami, Florida.
==Overview==
Established in 1996 as Saikai of Miami, Inc. by Nelson Gonzalez and Alex Aguila, Alienware has assembled desktops, notebooks, workstations, and PC gaming consoles. According to the employees, the name "Alienware" was chosen because of the founders' fondness for the hit television series The X-Files, which also inspired the science-fiction themed names of product lines such as Area-51, Hangar 18, and Aurora. In 1997, the company changed its name from Saikai of Miami to Alienware.
==Acquisition by Dell==
Dell, another computer brand company, had considered purchasing Alienware since 2002, but did not agree to purchase the company until four years later. As a subsidiary, Dell retains control of its design and marketing while benefiting from Dell's purchasing power, economies of scale, and supply chain, which lowered its operating costs.
Initially, Dell maintained its competing XPS line of gaming PCs, often selling computers with similar specifications, which may have affected Alienware's market share within its market segment. Due to corporate restructuring in the spring of 2008, the XPS brand was scaled down, and the Desktop line was eliminated, leaving only the XPS Notebooks. Product development of gaming PCs was consolidated with Dell's gaming division, with Alienware becoming Dell's premier gaming brand. On June 2, 2009, The M17x was introduced as the first Alienware/Dell branded system. This launch also expanded Alienware's global reach from 6 to 35 countries while supporting 17 different languages.
==Products==
Alienware, as of today, produces desktops and laptops with processors provided by Intel and AMD. Also, dedicated graphics cards are included in every Alienware computer provided by NVIDIA and AMD.
In 2014, Alienware released a graphics amplifier, which can host a desktop-class GPU and connect to an Alienware laptop released by 2014 or later.
